Transform your backyard into a royal retreat for purple martins with this grand octagonal birdhouse designed to accommodate a thriving colony.
Welcome a bustling community of purple martins to your garden with the Blacktop Chateau, a two-story octagonal birdhouse offering eight individual apartments.
Each compartment features a 2-inch-diameter entrance hole, equipped with metal predator guards to ensure the safety of its residents.
The unique octagonal base provides perching spots for the four lower-level apartments, while individual perches beneath each upper-level entry offer convenient landing spots, preventing porch domination by any single bird.
Crafted from durable PVC trim board, this birdhouse is designed to withstand the elements without delaminating or mildewing, ensuring longevity for up to 25 years.
The classic white exterior, complemented by a significant black octagonal roof and a wooden finial, adds a touch of elegance to any outdoor space.
For easy maintenance, the roof can be fully removed, and internal dividers lift out to facilitate seasonal cleanouts.
A permanently attached mounting collar at the base accommodates a standard 4" x 4" wooden post (not included), ensuring secure and stable installation.
Measuring 18 inches in length, 16 inches in width, and 29 inches in height, the Blacktop Chateau not only provides a spacious and secure nesting environment but also serves as a striking centerpiece in your yard.
