 PMCA Information
An adult martin is approximately 7and1/2” long, and as the clutch size averages from 4 to 6 young, there must be room for six to eight birds in a single compartment, since parents sleep with their young at night.
Martins require a wide open area around their housing, and martin housing should always be placed within 100 feet of people (a house, or other active area), and at least 40 feet from trees, farther if possible.
Since martin houses are placed in the open, fully exposed to wind, rain, and summer sun, good ventilation, drainage, and insulation are important to the well-being of the martins.

 PMCA Information
Unless you live in an area where martins are super-abundant (and such areas are rare), your chances of attracting martins to your box without continuously evicting starlings and House Sparrows are slim to none.
More persistent and aggressive than martins, starlings and House Sparrows will not only prevent martins from nesting in your martin house, but they will also breed in the house themselves (producing more of their own kind) and will kill or chase away any martins that attempt to investigate or nest in the house.
That is unfortunate because martins are a beautiful, graceful bird, now very scarce or absent from large expanses of their former range.
