PROLEE Cedar Owl House 13.5x9.5 Inch Outdoor Nesting Box with Mounting Hardware and Clean-Out Door

PROLEE Owl House is a weather-ready cedar nesting box sized 13.5 x 9.5 inches, supplied with mounting hardware and wood shavings to give backyard owls and other cavity birds a safe, easy-to-maintain shelter.

This solid-cedar owl nesting box blends natural appearance with practical features for year-round outdoor use. It arrives with pre-drilled panels, screws, mounting hardware and a packet of wood shavings so you can assemble and install a ready-made roosting spot in gardens, small woodlots, or suburban yards. The sloped roof diverts rain, a clean-out door simplifies seasonal maintenance, and the roomy interior accommodates a variety of cavity-nesting species.

How does this owl house protect birds from weather and predators?

The PROLEE design uses durable cedar and a sloped roof to channel water away from the entrance and interior, reducing moisture buildup. The single entrance opening minimizes exposure while providing enough access for owls and other medium-sized birds. Sturdy construction and proper mounting help discourage predators and ensure the box stays secure through wind and storms.

• Solid cedar panels with outdoor-ready finish resist decay and blend into natural settings.
• Sloped roof directs rainwater away from the cavity.
• Pre-drilled, tight-fitting assembly reduces gaps predators could exploit.
• Mounting hardware secures the box to trees, poles, or walls above ground level.

How easy is assembly, cleaning, and ongoing maintenance?

Assembly is straightforward: the box includes pre-drilled wooden panels, screws, and clear instructions so most users can complete it with basic tools. A convenient clean-out door lets you open the box for seasonal checks and to remove old nesting material without dismounting the whole unit. Periodic inspection and keeping the roof clear of debris are the main upkeep tasks.

• Includes assembly screws, mounting hardware, and step-by-step instructions.
• Clean-out door gives access for inspection and nest removal.
• Light maintenance: check seals, clear roof debris, replace shavings as needed.

Which bird species can use this box and where should I place it?

The interior size and entrance make this owl house suitable for small to medium cavity-nesting birds: screech owls, small owls, woodpeckers, chickadees and similar birds will find it accommodating. Mount the box 10–20 feet above ground on a stable post or tree trunk in a quiet spot with a clear flight path. Avoid placing it near heavy human traffic or bright lights.

• Large 13.5 x 9.5 inch interior accommodates multiple cavity species.
• Best mounted 10–20 feet high with an unobstructed flight approach.
• Choose a sheltered location away from heavy disturbance and predators.
