The knee-wall box has been designed for installation in roofs (so-called knee walls), but over the years has proven useful in many other installation sites. It fits exactly into the ventilation openings of the former prefab concrete buildings, found all over former East Germany. Other installation examples are inside the building (knee wall, roof) with the help of the brackets supplied. The Swift can reach the box through existing ventilation openings or appropriate openings in the building. The box can also be installed on the outside of buildings (on flat roofs, under eaves, on the attic), provided there is a "sheer drop" below the entrance (please do not install set back from the external wall). Free installation on the external wall is also possible (it is possible that the cleaning flap can then no longer be opened, but this is often not a problem if the box is occupied by Swifts).
Occupants:
Common Swift
Material:
SCHWEGLER wood-concrete, zinc-plated fixing bracket.
Size:
W 68 x H 20 x D 30 cm
Siting:
The entrance should be a minimum height of 6 to 7 m above the ground or protruding parts of buildings. Greater heights are possible at any time. It is very important to ensure that there are no protruding parts, roof parts, pipes, etc. below the entrance, as Swifts approach and fly away very steeply. It is advantageous and we expressly recommend that several nesting aids be installed for the formation of Swift colonies.
Colour:
Natural grey. It can be matched to the background colour by painting it with breathable paint.
Includes:
SCHWEGLER wood-concrete, zinc-plated fixing bracket.
Weight:
approx. 14 kg
When mounting, ensure free approach and departure possibility downwards! There must be no protrusions, roof parts, pipes, etc. below the entrance, because the swift flies very steeply up and down. Under the entrance, it must therefore go directly and freely downwards.
It is advantageous and we expressly recommend that several nesting aids be installed for the formation of Swift colonies. Swifts do not need a minimum distance from fellow species – nesting boxes can therefore be positioned directly next to each other.
