DL540 – Starling / Sparrow Nest Box Surface Mounted and Recessed, Masonry Wall With Clay Roof Open Eaves Detail

Price range: £9.00 through £14.00 + VAT

This detail shows two starling/sparrow nest box options on a masonry brick wall — a wide/shallow brick-clad recessed box sitting only within the brick facade, and a surface-mounted box — combined with a clay roof open eaves detail, with elevation, section, and plan views including an isometric illustration. 

Anything bridging the cavity and creating a void may require extra structural support, DPC, and cavity tray over. Habitat boxes are shown vertically above one another for illustrative purposes only; in practice they should be offset or installed according to species requirements. Boxes should be positioned a minimum of 5m above the ground, preferably directly under the eaves, facing north, north-east, or east. The eaves are open with a fascia board. 

Full fill insulation in cavities less than 150mm is not suitable for very severe exposure in England and Wales due to the potential for wind-driven rain on facing masonry. 

See drawing notes for full information.
