- Prevent squirrels and other predators from enlarging the nest box hole.
- Reduce the entrance hole size of your bird box to prevent larger birds using the box.
- Constructed from stainless steel.
- Available with 25mm, 28mm, 32mm and 45mm holes.
- Buy them singly or in packs of ten.
Our hole plates for bird boxes can be used to protect the inhabitants from the unwelcome attention of predators trying to make the nesting box hole bigger so they can get inside. These discreet metal plates easily attach to the front of the bird nest boxes and will stop even the most aggressive attackers from enlarging the hole.
They can also be used to reduce the hole size of one of your bird nesting boxes if you want to change the range of birds your box is likely to attract. For example if you have a small bird box with a 32mm hole but would prefer to limit access to the smaller tit species such as coal tit then fixing a 25mm hole plate to your box would keep out many of the larger garden birds and make it more likely that it would be occupied by blue or coal tits.
These stainless steel hole plates have rounded corners and come complete with screws to attach then to your nest box.

In partnership with The Nestbox Company
nature first since 1996
We aim for our boxes to provide the best accommodation for wildlife and our primary concern with all our products is that they should be designed appropriately for their target species.
Our boxes replicate as far as possible the conditions which are found in natural nest and roost sites.
designed by experts
Before we design any box we consider the requirements of the proposed inhabitants through reviews of published studies and consultation with experts in their field.
Combined with our experience of designing and manufacturing boxes and customer feedback we produce what we hope are boxes which offer the best accommodation for wildlife.
During the development of our products we are grateful to have received input of various kinds from many sources including, amongst others, the RSPB, the Barn Owl Trust, the University of Warwick, ZSL London Zoo, Staffordshire University, the Bat Conservation Trust, Aston University, the People's Trust for Endangered Species, Coventry University and the British Hedgehog Preservation Society.
made in britain
We started making nest boxes in 1996 based in a shed in Herefordshire. Since then, we’ve grown in size to become one of the largest producers of roost, nest, and wildlife boxes in the UK.
The Nestbox Company is run by father and sons; Peter, Tristan and Damian.
We manufacture our products in our own rural workshops, and combine modern production technology, with traditional hand finishing.
