Amazon.com Review
Designed for use with S&K's telescopic poles, this durable, lightweight barn provides shelter, space, and privacy for nesting purple martins. Easy to assemble, the barn includes divided compartments for up to 16 families, with enclosed keyhole-style entrances measuring 2-1/4 inches in height and width. Protected from rain by overhangs, 12 of the compartments are 6 by 6 inches with 3-by-6-inch railed porches and white front panels to increase entrance visibility. The other four compartments measure 6 by 9 inches and have a direct entrance in the side of the barn. Though this house does not include the porch dividers recommended by some experts, it does have slots in which you could fashion an adaptation. While no martin-nesting structure is maintenance free, S&K cuts down on the work with slightly tilted floors for drainage and hinged front panels for end-of-the-season cleanup. --Emily Bedard

This product met all expectations. Easy to assemble and has become the talk of the neighborhood. Best price associate with products in this category. Would make a great gift for a dad, mom, birdlover, or anyone that loves the outdoors.

We have owned our for over two years. The martins love it and stay all summer. We like it so much, we gave one to my mother-in-law this past Christmas, and she already has it occupied. Will probably order more in the future.


3 out of 5 stars More Disappointed in Amazon than the Product   March 18, 2010

First, the product. This was no cakewalk to assemble. I will have to glue some of the perches in place to keep them from wobbling or falling out.

Second, Amazon. One might be led to believe (from Frequently Bought Together) that the Heath MP-15 Telescoping Pole and Heath BP-15 Mounting Bracket would be just the thing. NOT! The S&K Barn has a proprietary base. The Heath pole and mounting bracket (although of seemingly adequate quality) will not work with the S&K Barn without extensive modification of either the base of the S&K Barn or the Heath Mounting Bracket.

Hurricane IKE blew away my birdhouse. Every year I welcomed new mother's and their baby chicks to the house. I purchased this one and all 12 slots are full. It is such a sheer delight to watch the littlest of God's creatures play and feel save in this "home" for birds. Thanks

It was a little complicated to assemble but once we got it together it is beautiful.
