Pro - Does anyone else's nest boxes get soaked in rain?

[Guest]

I've narrowed the colour I would like down to either Blue or Purple!

 

So I would love to hear from people who have experience in either Blue or Purple Eglu's.

 

I would like to know which colour you think is better, how bright and vibrant the colour is and most importantly whether they have faded with age, as I believe some colours are more prone to this than others...

Flip a coin! If you're disappointed with the outcome, you'll know what colour you really want

Has your Eglu faded over time? How much time have you had it?

 

Also do you happen to have any pictures of it?

I've got a purple cube. It is beautiful.

I have seen both colours and love the purple one, but then I like good strong colours.

 

The blue is a dark, turquiosey denim colour and the purple is cadburys dairy milk purple.

 

Do you have children? Ask them to decide.

Purple here and I love it!

 

Sorry don't have any pictures but can say that beside it is a citrus lime green conifer and the two colours look beautiful.

 

The blue I have seen looked quite dark and not as vibrant.

I have the blue eglu and I love it! It isn't particularly a bright blue, more of a dusky blue. I think it looks great in my garden which doesn't have anything but grass and a shed! I've only had it just over 2 months so I don't know if it fades, it's just covered in cats paw prints

If you look on this page , the blue one looks a lot brighter than it actually is, where as the purple is spot on.

 

The blue is actually more like the one you can see in this photo

I have had a blue eglu for almost exactly a year now and the colour hasn't faded a bit. But I do quite fancy a purple cube....

 

I liked the suggestion of tossing a coin and seeing if you are disappointed.

I love my blue eglu (but secretly hanker after a purple one ).

 

- the week we got it

 

- wiped with a damp cloth so looks a bit shiny

 

- how cosy does that look?
