No. 11 Schwegler House Martin Terrace

This highly successful design means you can now provide house martin nesting sites on any external wall regardless of whether it has eaves or not. Made using Schwegler's patented wood-concrete (an exceedingly durable, rot-proof and breathable natural material designed to mimic the properties of natural nest sites and last up to 25 years), this contemporary design is an attractive addition to urban areas.

Ensure the nest is located at least 2 m above the ground. The nest can be installed on any unobstructed facade without an overhanging roof, or alternatively directly under overhanging eaves. Ensure the nest is on the outside of the building (rather than inside the roof) on the sheltered side. Each individual nest can be removed separately for cleaning and inspection. We also recommend purchasing the Schwegler Droppings Board for this terrace to keep the area under the nests free from droppings.
