ONKO Outdoor Wooden Squirrel House
Create a dedicated shelter for backyard wildlife with the ONKO Outdoor Wooden Squirrel House. Made from pine wood, this nesting box provides an enclosed interior where squirrels can rest, take shelter and build a nest.
Its raised porch and guarded entrance are designed to provide a more sheltered approach to the interior. The natural wood appearance also blends easily with trees, fences and garden surroundings.
Pine Wood Construction
The house is constructed from pine wood and finished with a protective varnish. This combination helps create a stable structure for outdoor use while maintaining a natural appearance.
Weather-Resistant Surface
The varnished surface helps protect the wood from ordinary moisture exposure. For longer service life, install the house in a partially sheltered position and inspect the finish periodically.
Natural Appearance
The unpainted wood-style finish complements wooded gardens and outdoor areas without introducing bright or distracting colours.
Sheltered Nesting Area
The enclosed compartment provides squirrels with space for nesting and protection from direct exposure to wind and light rain.
Exterior Porch
The porch gives visiting animals a platform for approaching the entrance, resting or feeding before entering the enclosed compartment.
Guarded Entrance
A partial panel around the porch helps reduce direct access to the entrance. It is intended as an additional protective feature but cannot guarantee protection from every predator.
Ventilation and Interior Comfort
Ventilation openings located near the bottom corners allow air to circulate through the nesting area. The interior provides room for squirrels to arrange leaves, dry grass and other natural nesting materials.
Suitable Wildlife
The house may be suitable for:
- Grey squirrels
- Fox squirrels
- Red squirrels
- Chipmunks
- Similar small outdoor animals
Wildlife use cannot be guaranteed because nesting behaviour depends on location, local species and surrounding conditions.
