The
Right Mounting!

First: have the site checked for underground utilities. Mount nestboxes on 1/2 inch to 3/4 inch SMOOTH METAL PIPE, with at least five feet from ground to entrance hole, with the hole toward a tree or perch, not a road or highway. To eliminate climbing predators, NEVER mount on trees, fences or wood posts. The Steve Gilbertson idea of electrical conduit over rebar makes an ideal mount.
