Slate House Farm

A fun and practical build-your-own wooden bird box kit, designed to give children the satisfaction of making a real nesting box they can put up and use in the garden.

Each kit contains the timber components needed to build the box, with all pieces pre-cut and clearly marked to make assembly as straightforward as possible. There’s no measuring or sawing required, and the necessary nails are included.

The kit also comes with full, easy-to-follow step-by-step instructions, guiding you through the build from start to finish. It’s a great project for children to complete with adult supervision while learning a little more about woodworking, wildlife and the importance of providing safe nesting spaces for garden birds.

Once assembled, the finished box is a proper, usable wooden nest box suitable for outdoor use — not just a craft project.

What’s Included

• Pre-cut solid timber pieces
• Clearly marked components
• Nails required for assembly
• Full step-by-step building instructions
• Guidance on where and how to position the finished bird box

Made to Order

Every Slate House Farm bird box kit is prepared to order rather than mass-produced or held in stock. Please allow up to 10 working days for your kit to be prepared and dispatched.

As the kits are made from real timber, the grain, knots and natural character of the wood will vary from kit to kit, making every finished bird box slightly different.

A rewarding hands-on project that ends with something genuinely useful for the garden — and a nest box the builder can proudly say they made themselves.
