ABSTRACT:
A squirrel house that can be used for shelter from predators, from cold weather and for providing a den for a breeding pair of squirrels to build a nest for raising a family of young squirrels, having a front wall including a side access hole, a floor having a bottom access opening, a pair of matching side walls supporting a shed roof end extending at a slight incline from the back wall to and over the side access wall being supported along the tapered top edges of the side walls. The squirrel house further comprises a reinforcing cleat with associated mounting fasteners, a metallic right angle bottom support member of malleable construction with variable positioning to associate closely with selected curved tree trunk whereby the bottom hole allows a squirrel to enter directly into the house from an adjacent tree trunk from below and the side access hole defines an opening for admitting squirrels from the roof, wherein the openings may also offer exit at such time as the other access is blocked by a predator.
