Swallow Loft
An open-front shelf for barn and tree swallows.
$55
House from $55. Finish and mounting extra.
Swallows do not use a round hole. They want a sheltered shelf with an open face, tucked under an eave. This loft is a small barn in oxblood milk paint, with a deep overhang and a rough interior the mud nest can grip. Mount it 8–12 feet up, on a barn, garage, or porch, with a clear flight path.

Care
Leave old nests until late fall, then scrape the shelf. Touch up milk paint as needed; it weathers rather than peels.
