Huw's Squirrel Treehouse
A squirrel’s own house, so your bird feeder gets left alone. The last 117.
Huw Pritchard, sixty-five, built fences across Anglesey for 38 years before he ever built anything for the squirrels. His shoulder won’t take the torch any more, so these are the last treehouses he will make.
“I spent years trying to keep them out of everything. Then I gave them somewhere better to be, and they sorted the rest out themselves.”
— Huw Pritchard, fencer, Newborough, Anglesey
- The house: gable roof, solid pine, torched by hand over an open flame.
- The ladder: 76 cm of rope with wooden rungs, already fitted.
- The platform: a railed deck with room for two to sit and eat.
- Screws, wall plugs and a card from Huw: where to hang it and what to put in it.
Left: a plastic squirrel box after one season. Right: Huw’s hand-torched pine treehouse.
“A squirrel at a bird feeder is just taking the easiest food in the garden. Give it its own sheltered, reliably stocked spot a few metres away and most of the traffic moves over within a couple of weeks. Keep it clean and dry, use unsalted nuts, and it does the squirrels real good in the lean weeks of late winter.”
— Dr Gwen Ellis, wildlife ecologist · North Wales Garden Wildlife Group
Hang it, fill it and live with it through the winter. If it isn’t right for your garden, one email to info@countycraftco.com within 90 days is enough for a full refund.
Every house is cut and torched by hand, so grain, colour and char vary from piece to piece. That is the mark of it being handmade, not a flaw.
Squirrels are wild animals. A good spot and a few days’ patience make all the difference, but nobody can promise an exact day they move in. Skip bread and anything salted.

The Last Treehouses From Huw’s Workshop
The Last Treehouses From Huw’s Workshop
A note from the workshop:
Huw Pritchard built and mended fences across Anglesey for 38 years. In 2013 he got tired of fixing his wife Siân’s bird feeder every week and built the squirrels a house of their own instead, torched the way he used to char his fence posts. Within a week the squirrels had moved over and the blue tits had their feeder back. Since then he has built more than 520 treehouses for gardens across North Wales. This year his shoulder stopped letting him hold a board over the flame. There are 117 finished treehouses left in his workshop. He is closing the workshop at the end of January, and when the last ones are gone, there will not be more.
