National Trust Hedgehog Shelter

A safe haven for hedgehogs, cleverly designed

Give your garden’s night-time wanderers a place to truly switch off with this hedgehog house shelter, thoughtfully designed for sleeping, nesting and those long winter hibernations. Part of the National Trust Garden Wildlife Range, it creates a მშვიდ, tucked-away retreat where hedgehogs can feel safe, settled and undisturbed.

The 90-degree entrance tunnel isn’t just a design detail, it’s a quiet guardian. It helps keep predators at bay while allowing hedgehogs to come and go naturally, creating a calm, low-disturbance space that’s ideal for rest and recovery. Exactly what a hedgehog hopes to find when it’s ready to curl up for the season.

A raised base adds another layer of comfort, helping to keep the interior drier by lifting it away from damp ground. Add a generous handful of leaves or straw, and you’ve created a cosy, weather-ready hideaway.

Ready for real garden life

Crafted from durable, waterproof plywood, this shelter is built to handle the ups and downs of British weather — from misty autumn evenings to frosty winter mornings. It’s a reliable refuge your garden visitors can depend on all year round.

And when it comes to setup, it’s refreshingly simple. The shelter clicks together in two parts with no tools needed, so you can have it in place and ready in minutes.

Just the right space

Perfectly sized for a single adult hedgehog, this snug shelter offers a sense of सुरक्षा without feeling cramped. If your garden plays host to more than one visitor or you’re hoping to support a nesting female, a larger XL or XXL option will give them a little extra room to roam and rest.

Position it in a quiet, shaded corner, away from busy paths, and let nature take it from there.
