Space age closed cell 1/8in Sintra PVC boards protect your birds from excessive heat in the summer by dissipating the sun's rays. They will not warp or crack like wood and will outlast any box you have. Especially useful for boxes mounted out in the full sun. In full sun an unprotected box can have an interior temperature of up to 13°F degrees hotter than the outside ambient temperature (depending on the color of the box). If your interior temperatures get up to 105-107 degrees inside this is the danger zone for small chicks. (See test information below) These boards are 1/8in thick and easy to cut with regular box cutter or similar cutting tool. This means you can save money by cutting your own shields from this kit. Kit contains 3 (three) rectangular boards each one being 8 inches x 12 inches. Also included are 8 (eight) 5/16in high spacers for side and top boards and 4 (four) 1 inch high spacers for back shield. If you need different length spacers let me know. Exterior screws are also included. Shield kit contains 3 shields for your nest box and everything you need to install including directions. PVC is white and can be spray painted any color you choose to match your existing box. Typically if your boxes face north or east you will need a Top Shield, a West Shield, and a South Shield for best protection.
Box not included in auction. Photo used to show typical installation. Buyer must cut shields to size needed.
