Description / Purple Martin House Plan Book
We built two T-14 houses using the plan book and found it easy to follow. The Purple Martins were in the houses the very next day, mostly ignoring the standard aluminum houses they had used over the past few years. This indicates that the T-14 Purple Martin House is a proven design, which is why the Amish widely use this type of house.Â
It also became clear that the winch construction allows for easy up-and-down movement to check and chart progress during the spring season. A serious Purple Martin landlord will chart progress weekly and, year by year, log the number of Martins hatched in each compartment.
The Plan book shows you how to construct the wood nesting boxes. We do sell a new bowl design nesting tray, a 14-tray set under our Purple Martin Houses & Kits tab, or CLICK HERE for more information.
