Guide to making a possum house

• You can use any timber you like to make a possum box (except chipboard, which disintegrates rapidly outdoors). 12mm ply is excellent.
• Drill four 5 - 7mm holes through the floor of the box near each corner to allow any water that might get in to drain out.
• Nesting material isn't essential but a few handfuls of dead leaves would provide comfort and insulation.
