This Coveside squirrel house is a generously sized den box with a larger entry and deep interior suited to gray and red squirrels rather than birds. The thick Eastern white pine walls provide real insulation for a winter shelter or a nesting site, and the sturdy build stands up to gnawing and weather alike.
Mount it ten to twenty feet up on a mature tree trunk at the edge of your yard, ideally away from the feeders you want to protect, since a dedicated squirrel home can redirect them from raiding bird stations. The side panel opens for seasonal cleanout.
Coveside has been handcrafting bird and wildlife habitats in Maine for decades, using sustainably sourced wood and durable designs trusted by backyard naturalists.
