Every piece is unique.
No two are the same.
Heinrich Brandt, master carpenter since 1977 — 47 years of wood, hands, and craft.
"I have built furniture, stairs, and window frames in my life. But when I see a squirrel look into one of these houses for the first time, it feels different. That is craftsmanship that lives."
Heinrich Brandt

Heinrich Brandt, 71

Master carpenter. Dormagen, NRW. In the trade since 1977. He builds every feeder house himself — from the barrel shape to the final coat of oil. What is in the workshop is all that remains. There will be no restock.

What makes this feeder house so special
🛢️
Barrel shape instead of a box Cave-like, just as in nature — squirrels come more reliably and stay longer.
🔍
Transparent viewing pane See at a glance when it needs refilling — without disturbing the animals.
🕳️
6.9 cm entrance hole Large enough for squirrels, too narrow for pigeons and crows.
🚪
Hinged roof Open the lid, add nuts, close it again — the metal hinge is built to last.
🪵
Oiled solid wood (acacia) One of the hardest woods — barely swells, weathers slowly, and is oiled by hand.
🔧
Installed in 10 minutes Mounting hardware for tree or fence is included. Unpack, hang, done.
🌿 Expert assessment
"Many feeder houses ignore how squirrels naturally take food — in protected, cave-like spaces. The barrel shape of this house is not a design detail, but makes behavioural sense. The animal feels protected, eats more calmly, and returns more often. Combined with the right entrance size, this is one of the most thoughtful designs I have seen in this area."
🎓 Dr. Markus Held — Wildlife expert & conservation adviser, NRW
Built to stay

Every feeder house leaves Heinrich’s workshop only when it meets his standards. The barrel shape is much more demanding than a simple box — the curve has to be right, the pane has to sit correctly, and every joint has to hold. This is not a quality promise. This is 47 years of professional pride.

The acacia wood is weatherproof oiled and made for many years outdoors. No plastic, no lacquer, no coatings that flake. What Heinrich builds is made to survive outside — through rain, frost, and summer heat. He still makes it the way he learned it.

90-day money-back guarantee Not satisfied? Simply send it back for a full refund, no questions asked. But we are confident this feeder house will be hanging in your garden before you even think about it.
💡
Note: Every feeder house is handmade. Small differences in grain and wood structure are natural and intentional — not a flaw, but solid wood.

The last ones from Heinrich’s workshop

Heinrich Brandt is 71, a master carpenter with 47 years of experience. For five years he has built squirrel feeder houses in his workshop in Dormagen — not as a business, but from conviction. In Dormagen, everyone knows his feeder houses. Now his hands can no longer keep up. Arthritis. Before quality suffers, he would rather stop. What is in the workshop is all that remains. There will be no restock.

What our customers say on Trustpilot:

Excellent 4.8 / 5

  • Top class!

    The workmanship is genuinely impressive — nothing like the plastic thing we had hanging in the garden before. After three days, the first squirrel came. It has visited every morning since.

    Sabine Menske

  • Lovingly packaged

    I ordered it for my mother’s birthday. She now stands at the window with her coffee every morning and counts the squirrels. I could not have found a better gift. The packaging was excellent too.

    Thomas K.

  • Absolute recommendation

    I did not expect it to look this good. Delivery was quick and it makes a brilliant gift.

    How are your products made?

    Every feeder house is made by hand in a small workshop in Dormagen. The wood is solid and weatherproof oiled. The round barrel shape is individually sanded and assembled — real carpentry, not mass production. The acrylic viewing pane and mounting hardware are fitted precisely. No feeder house is exactly like another.
