I couldn’t find hawk or owl guards for my S&K houses. So we made some with 2x4 hog wire and tie wraps. I’ll send you pics if I can figure out how to send them on this site. We put them on last year and this year. Martins and fledglings figured them out very easily

Is your house in it's original configuration, single rooms, or have you converted it to two room suites?
