Semi-Finished Nest (semi-finished nest for finishing by House Martins)
In areas in which pools of clay or loam or clay soil are available and accessible for Martins, the House Martin Nest No. 13B can be provided as a semi-finished nest for the House Martins to finish themselves. The advantage of the Semi-Finished Nests is that they provide a secure place for breeding and cannot fall off, which can certainly happen with the Martins' own constructions, because of unsuitable clay composition. The optimum solution is to attach the Semi-Finished Nest alternately with the tried and tested finished nests, for example, No. 13, 9A or 9B.

SCHWEGLER wood-concrete nest on plastic mounting panel, staining steel fixing rails with stainless steel screws.

House martins are very sociable animals, they love the direct proximity to their conspecifics - therefore it makes sense to mount several nests. For stringing together - nest to nest - we offer the optional flat connector.

Note: check on site whether the supplied screws are suitable for the substrate!
