How did you mount it ?

I mounted a vertical 2x6 to treethen mounted box to it

What size is the hole on the front of the owl nesting box?

I’ve already put it up but it is approximately 4-5 inches. This is a large and well built product and should be adequate for most owls.

How high does this need to be hung in a tree?

The recommendation was 12-15 feet. We have ours at 12 feet and it looks like someone has begun to build a nest in it. Hopefully that will be our barred owl, just in time for the beginning of nesting season which begins in March for most of the eastern U.S.

Any suggestions for keeping squirrels from moving in?

Extending the roof out another 5-6 inches, I heard that's one way to keep squirrels from moving into bird house. Metal guards won't work on a whole with such a big opening, but they do work with the smaller ones especially the blue bird boxes.

Not as advertised.

This owl box is a nice owl box but, it is not what was advertised at all. The picture and description made it seem like the entire box was made out of cedar. Secondly the size of the box is not what was advertised. Actual size is 12.5x13.5x24 not 17.74x13.5x24 that was advertised. Very disappointing to open the package to find out it wasn’t what I thought I was getting.

Sturdy, well built owl box -- good looking, too!

Sturdy and very well built, appreciated including the wood shavings (also well packaged) as a bonus to place in the bottom of the box. The shipping was faster than expected -- extra kudos there! Would definitely buy their products again!

not real wood

In the photo the house shown is cedar the one I received is plywood, and I was not sure if pressure treated? I covered the house with sheets of copper to make it last or else by the time an owl finds this house it would be in the process of decomposing.

Sturdy but no mounting hardware or instructions

This is a well made owl box. It took some creative thinking to figure out how to hang it as only one side of the frame is flush with the roof. We used heavy duty outdoor hinges - one each on top and bottom. At the recommendation of our tree trimming service, we used 3 inch exterior screws and it is sturdy. W also added a perch from an old branch.

Description is deceiving!

Description makes it sound like it’s made of red western cedar I was disappointed when I opened it and found out it’s made of plywood and just the opening has a piece of cedar over it!
