Description

Give native wildlife a safe place to call home.

As natural tree hollows continue to disappear, possums are often left without secure shelter. This nesting box is designed to replicate the deep, insulated hollows found in mature trees, providing a comfortable and protected space for brushtail and ringtail possums in suburban and rural environments.

Crafted from solid plywood, the box offers excellent thermal performance, helping regulate internal temperature through both hot summers and cool nights. The internal space and entrance size are carefully proportioned to suit possums while offering protection from larger predators.

Built for long-term outdoor use, this is a simple, durable way to support local wildlife and bring nature back into your backyard.

Good to Know

Thermal Protection
The 18mm wall thickness helps stabilise internal temperatures, protecting eggs and chicks during extreme heat. Thin-walled boxes often fail in Australian conditions — this design is built with that in mind.

Suburban Habitat Solution
Most suburban areas lack the mature trees needed for natural hollows. This nesting box provides an immediate and effective alternative.

Installation Tips
For best results, position the box facing away from the harsh afternoon sun, typically South or South-East. Mount at a height of 2 to 4 metres in a quiet, sheltered location.

Maintenance
Includes a removable lid for easy seasonal cleaning. Applying a non-toxic exterior oil every few years will help maximise lifespan.
