This detail shows a surface-mounted swift nest box on a timber frame and cladding wall combined with a clay bat access roof tile at eaves level, with elevation, section, and plan views including an isometric illustration of the eaves context. The swift nest box is surface mounted and suitable for a number of different facade types. 

Swift boxes should be positioned a minimum of 5m above the ground, preferably directly under the eaves, facing north, north-east, or east to avoid overheating. 

The clay bat access roof tile is specified to match the clay roof tile finish and allows roosting bats a pathway either under the tiles against the bitumen felt or through into the roof space/loft/attic. Bat access tiles should be positioned a minimum of 4m above the ground, facing south-west, south, or south-east. 

The eaves are boxed in with fascia and soffit with a ventilated cavity with insect mesh to the top. An open-state cavity barrier for ventilated cavities is fixed back to the solid substrate to manufacturers’ details.
