Fixing my Swift Nest Boxes to the wall.

First I made a template, to save having to try & balance a box & drill holes into the wall, while hanging onto the top of a ladder.

Then I drilled 3 holes in the back of each box.

I used 3 x 7cm Screws to fix the boxes to the wall.

Then fixed each box to the wall, under the eaves.

Six Swift Nest Boxes now up.

The top box is at 6 metres, while the lower one is appx. 4 & a half metres up.

As you can see, I used a long ladder.

However, for the sake of safety & comfort, 

I would recommend the use of a scaffold tower or cherry picker.
