They have a link for tower construction. You might also want the book on Chimney Swift Towers (New Habitat for America's Mysterious Birds) by Paul and Georgean Kyle from Texas. It's excellent and our state wildlife rehab organization (WRNC) gives one of those books to each of three annual Chimney Swift Tower grant recipients. If you are from North Carolina, you may want to check our website www.ncwildliferehab.org for the requirements and application to submit for a Chimney Swift Tower grant. Good Luck and thanks for inquiring. Recent update on the Sneads Ferry tower: Chimney Swifts have returned from the Amazon Basin in Peru this Spring in greater numbers and believed to have once again moved into the tower. Wonderful!!

I am in the process of research on these towers. I live along the Georgia coast and am working with Jekyll Island's Conservation Manager to build one of these towers. It is great to see one working.
