I would not buy this birdhouse! June 18, 2010
B. Baber (usa)
I bought one of these houses five years ago. I have built and bought martin house for over forty years and this one is the worst one I have ever tried to use. First the perches keep falling off. I had to tap the plastic and put a washer and screw on each post before they would stay on. The clean out bottoms will fall open for no reason. I installed the pole head pipe in concrete and the pole worked pretty good for a couple of years. I removed it every season and made a cover for the head pipe opening. The third year it was all I could do to to get the first pole into the ground mount. At the end of the season, I had to use a pipe wrench and a piece of pipe to try to get the lower pipe out of the ground by pulling up as I walked around in circles. It would not come out. So now I have the first section of pole sticking up in my yard all year. I had to rivet the bottom clean out section just to keep it together. The plastic piece that holds each section up in place broke and now the house is unusable without those 2 special pieces. There was always gaps between the sections when it was on the pole. I think that is enough to change your mind.

We were given this brand, Heath, as a gift two years ago. It did fine the first year. However, when we put it up for the second season, the perches and floors were loose. I have just seen that one of the "apartment" floors has fallen off as well as several perches. The fallen nest looked to be empty; I hope that was the case. I am now looking for a purple martin house for my brother, and I won't buy a Heath again.

Looks great when it is done March 29, 2010
Martin Man (Poplar Grove, IL United States)
I purchased the Heath 18 room Martin House about a month ago even though there was a cautionary review on assembly.

It was not difficult to assemble, just took a lot of time. I changed the method of assembling the roof from a two person job to a one person job. I did this by assembling one panel at a time directly to the top hose. This works fine because all the parts fit together really well. I left the floor off until I assembled the complete roof and then snapped in the floor.
One other item I modified was the plastic rail that attaches to the floor by snapping it into the holes provided. I found that some of the rails had a tendency to snap out when bumped. I remedied this by turning the house upside down and placing it in a small plastic garbage can for support then mixed epoxy and dabbed epoxy on the bottom of the plastic rails which formed a strong bond when dry between the rail and the aluminum.
