Made from untreated solid wood, it balances weather resistance with a natural interior that encourages ducks to nest. The unit ships ready for either hanging with the included rope or attaching to a trunk or post using the pre-drilled mounting holes. Thoughtful features — such as drainage, ventilation and a grooved internal wall beneath the entry — make it easier for both adult ducks and ducklings to use the home-season after season. Nesting pads are not included so you can choose the lining that suits your local species and climate.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eHow does the Nalwort Duck House handle wet weather and airflow?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe design keeps interiors dryer and reduces mold risk by combining ventilation gaps and drainage holes.
