About WoodStone® Nest Boxes

WoodStone® nest boxes are designed to offer birds a long-lasting, well-insulated and weather-resistant nesting place, combining the natural benefits of wood with the strength and durability of mineral materials. They provide a robust alternative to traditional wooden nest boxes, particularly in gardens and landscapes where long-term performance matters.

What is WoodStone®?

WoodStone® is a specially developed material made from a blend of wood fibres and mineral components. This combination creates a nest box that retains the natural feel and breathability of wood, while being far more resistant to moisture, rot and temperature extremes.

Unlike standard timber nest boxes, which can deteriorate over time, WoodStone® nest boxes are built to maintain their structure and insulation properties year after year, even in exposed outdoor conditions.

Why insulation matters for nesting birds

One of the most important features of a good nest box is thermal stability. During the breeding season, eggs and chicks are vulnerable to temperature fluctuations caused by cold nights, strong sun or sudden weather changes.

WoodStone® nest boxes provide excellent natural insulation thanks to their dense, breathable material. This helps to:

  • reduce rapid temperature swings inside the box
  • keep chicks warmer during cold spells
  • prevent overheating during warm weather

Stable conditions inside the nest box can significantly improve chick survival and overall breeding success.

Built to last in outdoor conditions

Traditional wooden nest boxes can suffer from rot caused by moisture, warping and splitting or weakened joints over time. WoodStone® nest boxes are highly resistant to weathering.

The material does not rot, delaminate or crack in the same way as untreated wood, making these boxes particularly suitable for exposed gardens, parks and reserves or long-term installations.

Their solid construction also offers increased resistance to damage from predators and squirrels compared with thinner wooden boxes.

WoodStone® vs wooden nest boxes

While wooden nest boxes remain a great option in many situations, WoodStone® nest boxes are often chosen when longevity and insulation are a priority.

Key differences include:

  • Durability: WoodStone® lasts significantly longer than standard timber
  • Maintenance: Requires less frequent replacement
  • Insulation: More stable internal temperatures
  • Weather resistance: Better performance in wet or exposed locations

For people looking to invest in nest boxes that will perform reliably for many years, WoodStone® offers a practical and bird-friendly solution.

Which birds use WoodStone® nest boxes?

WoodStone® nest boxes are suitable for a wide range of garden and woodland birds, depending on the design and entrance size. These include:

  • blue tits and great tits
  • house sparrows
  • starlings
  • robins and redstarts (open-fronted designs)
  • pied flycatchers
  • nuthatches
  • swifts and owls (specialist models)

Because the material mimics the protective qualities of natural cavities, birds readily accept WoodStone® boxes as nesting sites.
