How are the birdhouses mounted?
A. Where noted, some of our stock replica birdhouses are shipped with mounting hardware and instructions. We also stock pedestals which can be modified to accomodate a permanent outdoor mounting. Otherwise, birdhouses can be fitted with a 1″ or 3/4″ galvanized mounting flange on the bottom of the house. Galvanized iron pipe can be purchased at your local hardware store or home center. These pipes are generally sold in 8-10′ lengths and can be shortened with a hacksaw if desired. To mount the house, simply screw the threaded end of the pipe into the flange. In your backyard, a 2-3′ hole back-filled with dirt will hold the house and pole up. For a more permanent mounting, the hole can be filled with concrete. A variety of flanges, couplings and brackets can be found at the home center to accommodate any other mounting.
