• Solid pine with no chemical treatments or harsh coatings — offers a natural, smooth, splinter-free shelter.

Make space for squirrels and chipmunks to shelter while creating an easy-to-watch wildlife spot in your backyard. The covered entrance, enclosed nesting chamber and front porch bring shelter and observation features together in one wooden habitat for a garden, tree or fence setting.

How does the covered porch help squirrels enter the house?

The deep, covered entry creates a sheltered approach to the 3-inch (7.6 cm) entrance hole. Its design helps reduce exposure to aerial predators as squirrels enter and leave, while the roomy inner chamber provides space for nesting. The viewing porch also serves as a lookout and feeding platform, with food kept separate from the nest to encourage natural foraging and make wildlife easier to observe.

• Designed for squirrels and chipmunks.
• Covered entry tunnel connects the porch to the nesting space.
• Supports backyard wildlife watching and family learning.
