Mounting kit for Blue Bird Houses

"IMPORTANT"I recommend drilling the holes for the clamps before driving the screws in. That will keep the screws from splitting the wood.
Step one-Make a mark down the center of the back of the box to help you align the pipe vertically.
​Two- Snap the clamps onto the pipe and then line it up as best you can with the center mark you made. Bring the clamps away from the edges of the wood at least 1" so the screw holes aren't so close to the edge that they split the old. Pre-drill everything first.
Three - Install the pipe coupling onto the pipe. /you can do this before our after the pipe is secured to the back.
Four - The next thing you need to do is go to the hardware store or rifle around in the garage for a piece of 1/2" rebar about 3 feet long. Five - Get yourself a piece of 1/2" electrical conduit about 6 feet long or better and another pipe connector like the one that came with the kit. Some people have things like rebar and electrical conduit hanging around their garages but both are available at any good hardware store or lumber yard.
Six - Get a hammer or mallet, depending on how soft or hard your soil is and pound the rebar into the ground with enough left sticking out to mount the clamp onto(see pic above). Make it as vertical as possible. If you hit an obstruction and the rebar starts to go off to one side, stop, pull it out and start again in a new spot. If you have really sandy, sift soil you might want to use a piece 4 feet long or more.
Seven - Connect the bird house to the pipe you got/bought by inserting it onto the connector hole and tighten the set screws. Make sure both are tight because once it's in the air it's hard to reach.
Eight-Now that you have the rebar in the ground and the house mounted on the pole/conduit you got, pick the house and pole assembly up and put it down over the end of the rebar that is=n the ground.
Nine -  Tighten the two set screws on the clamp nice and tight so the house won't spin around when it's windy.
 Tips- In the United States, birdhouses facing east are generally preferable. This orientation exposes the birds to the warm morning sun and shields them from the harsh afternoon heat, providing optimal temperature conditions for nesting birds. Face the house entrance away from prevailing winds too. Locating the house under a tall shade tree is nice too. It gives mom and dad cover coming back and forth to the nest and protects the babies when they emerge, giving them cover when they leave the nest.
