Green Roof Shelters Birdhides

Buy/ Enquire

All our shelters are set modular sizes to allow for a variety of configurations. We produce them to a high standard at our yard and deliver them complete with plants, habitat and appropriate use built in. 

​

To find out more about the sizes and modules we produce please get in touch.

Modular birdhides:

  • Size 6: L2.77 H2.25 D2.08

  • Size 8: L3.7 H2.25 D2.08

  • Size10: L4.63 H2.25 D2.08

      Dims in meters.


Sizes are modular and can be positioned end to end.
 

All come planted, with habitat and ready to set in place right off of the lorry.

  • Robust birdhides with rich biodiverse growing roofs and wildlife habitat panels.

  • Roof substrate type, plant species, and habitat, can be tailored to locality, or specific Biodiversity Action Plan (BAP) species.
    Additional log piles and sand piles provide further invertebrate space and refuge.

  • Birdhides come with elbow resting surfaces at each ‘viewing window’. 
    Additional robust UK Larch benching can be specified.
    There is room for information and interpretation panels

  • Birdhide fires: Green Roof Shelters Birdhides are constructed from galvanised structural steel frames, stainless steel roof trays, and painted corten-steel shipping container side panels - so are free from the risk of arson destroying the birdhide.

  • Planting. – We plant a drought-tolerant mix of 64+ plant species on each roof, that are nectar-rich for butterflies, bees, moths and other invertebrate wildlife. Planting and habitat can be tailored to locality, or specific Biodiversity Action Plan (BAP) species.

  • The shelters have to be structurally very strong to carry the 1.5 - 3.5 tons of soil on the roof - so they are not typical flimsy shelters.

  • Green Roof Shelters provide a planted space for wildlife that can be seen but is not frequently disturbed, with nesting opportunities on the shelter exterior. The absorbent green roofs have the added benefit of moderating urban flooding. 

  • The shelter units are modular - multiples are used to make much larger installations, including compounds. 

  • Wildlife Habitat Panels provide nesting and refuge for different species, adding space for wildlife, and alongside interpretation create biodiversity awareness.

  • Wildlife Habitat Panels provide nesting and refuge for different species, adding space for wildlife, and alongside interpretation create biodiversity awareness.

  • Bird boxes are for blue tits & great tits, and social nesting boxes for sparrows.

  • When needed, shelters are straightforward to relocate as future circumstances dictate (with a HIAB equipped lorry).
