One of the most popular garden visitors are hedgehogs, and we’re not surprised. They clear slugs and snails and are fascinating to watch. What could be more comforting, when you’re feeling a bit prickly, than having these fluffy spiky friends pottering about?

Unfortunately, wild populations are quickly declining. One of the biggest threats is the loss of habitat. Setting up a hedgehog box is a great way to protect them and we want these quirky creatures to keep happily scurrying and snuffling about, we’ve put together this custom designed box, ideal for any grassy garden. It can be used all year round, is perfect for hibernation, and can function as a feeder as well.

For proper “living on the hedge”, this cosy hedge home offers a staggered entrance, making it harder for larger, unwanted visitors to gain entrance.

The eco-roof is made of recycled composite materials with the added benefit of being completely waterproof and rot-proof. It’s built with a sloping roof for water drainage along with additional grooves on the top of the side panels. The lid is hinged and lockable. Ventilation is provided by a clog-proof, narrow gap under the roof along the front.

Main Features:

Waterproof Recycled Eco Roof – The eco-roof is both UV and fully waterproof. It gently slopes to ensure water drains off quickly and underside grooves stop water coming in to keep the hedgehogs nice and dry. The roof is made out of a recycled plastic blend that doesn’t rot and ensures longevity.

Wooden Hedgehog Feeding Station – Handmade sturdy wooden box, designed specifically for providing a habitat for wild hedgehogs.

Weather Resistant – Constructed from specially treated timber, designed to be exposed to the elements 24/7 without rotting.

Separate Rooms – Divided into different “rooms”, helping hold warmth and preventing predators such as foxes from reaching in. The second door also provides an emergency exit in case they need to scarper.

FSC Certified – Made from sustainably sourced FSC Mix timber.

21mm Thick Panelling – Significantly thicker than most wildlife habitats, providing extra durability.

Dimensions:

Length: 700 mm
Height: 240 mm
Width: 360 mm

COVID-19 UPDATE – Please be aware some delivery networks are experiencing ‘some’ delays due to demand and ongoing employer covid working restrictions – please allow some extra time for shipping – we hope to see these related issues drop very soon (last updated 20.2.2022)

Standard Rates (some heavy items may incur a higher cost)

Standard delivery £4.99 – 3-5 days delivery from despatch (please note this excludes weekends).

Express delivery starting from £5.99 – 2-3 days delivery from despatch (please note this excludes weekends).

Next Working Day – We do offer a 24hr delivery service, but we no longer refer to this as ‘Next Working Day’ due to order ‘received by’ times, courier collection times, and picking, packing and prepping times. Whilst we do often get packages out the same day, on a 24hr service so that they arrive the next day, we have found in recent years that the so called “Amazon Effect” has made this term unviable to advertise (that being that as a small family company that are open 9am to 5pm, we cannot receive an order at 8pm, process and ship out the same night and have it on your doorstep the following day).

Click & Collect FREE – Collect from our party shop in Nottingham (find our address and opening hours)

Saturday delivery – Saturday / Sunday (weekend) delivery is not currently guaranteed or widely available through our usual network of couriers. Some deliveries may well arrive on Saturdays, but this is at the discretion of the courier, and as such when ordering on a Friday for Next Working Day we do not guarantee it will arrive on the Saturday, we / the couriers guarantee it will arrive the next ‘Working Day’ i.e. Monday.

Working days

This term is widely used in delivery information as it refers to Monday through to Friday as being ‘working days’, and weekends are not classed as such. We use around half a dozen different couriers at any one time to give the best, cheapest and quickest delivery to your area across a wide variety of packages, which includes Small and Large Letters, Small and Medium Parcels and also Large Parcels. To have the flexibility to meet these demands we use the following services:

Royal Mail 24hr and 48hr
Despatch Bay 24hr and 48hr
DHL and DX Freight Via DespatchBay Parcel2Go, which includes MyHermes 2 to 3 Day and also 1 to 2 Day
Parcel2Go, which includes MyHermes 2 to 3 Day and also 1 to 2 Day
TNT Next Day
UPS Next Day Drop Off

All of these firms use slightly different terms, but as a general rule collections are made on ‘Working Days’ i.e. Monday to Friday, and deliveries are always done on Monday to Friday, and with Despatch Bay and Royal Mail delivering on Saturdays i.e. 6 days a week for just the delivery side of the Network.

As an example an order placed on a Wednesday at 8am in the morning will be despatched that same day, using the couriers ‘Next Working Day’ service and will therefore arrive on the Thursday the day after. However, an order placed on the Wednesday at 2pm, will be shipped on the Thursday using the couriers ‘Next Working Day’ service and arrive on the Friday. The reason for this is that the couriers have collection times of between 1pm and 5pm, so we cannot guarantee that after 12 noon we can pick, pack and ship your item that very same day due to the couriers various collection times.

If you are in significant need of a ‘Next Day’ delivery we do suggest that you call or email us before placing your order so we can advise you and can avoid any unnecessary disappointment.

We have increasingly found that over recent years many customers can place an order at 8pm at night and expect to be able to receive it the following morning, which we’re unable to do because of the nature of how couriers work, and also because our business is open from 9am to 5pm each day and we do not operate a night shift for packing orders.

Disclaimer: We always endeavour to do our absolute best to pick, pack and ship out your order as quickly as possible. However we do ask customers to understand that we purchase the Delivery Service on your behalf from all of the above mentioned couriers, and as such we entrust them to carry out the final leg of the journey to you. We know that statistically around 98% of orders with courier deliveries are done on time and in accordance with the service that we buy from them. However, that does mean that around 2% do not, this is often for a variety of reasons, but not least because the courier firms are enormous operations that handle tens or hundreds of thousands of packages each and every day, if not millions, and so inevitably parcels may go missing or take longer to deliver than anticipated.

We kindly ask that customers take this into consideration, and do not complain harshly or abuse our staff in the unlikely, but perfectly possible event that your parcel does not arrive in time. We always want happy customers, and we work extremely hard behind the scenes to pull your order together and get it out to you very quickly.
