I have a large martin house I would like to erect to attract martins to eat bugs. What type of pole should I use and how tall should it be? |
The Purple Martin Conservation Association recommends a height of 12 to 20 feet. They offer detailed information on where it is best to put the martin house, too.

There are many requirements for siting the house for it to be attractive to these wonderful birds. Good luck with your project! |
