Advanced Martin Products would like to introduce the Purple Martin Hut (patent pending). This is the compressed high-density foam gourd that Don Grasse has been working on. I have been helping him. This gourd is
NOT made from Styrofoam. The compressed high-density foam will not rot, no maintenance, has a high insulation value, is insect impermeable, and UV resistant. The Hut is made in two pieces, a top piece and a bottom piece. Right now, the halves are joined by using T-nuts and screw eyes. We are presently working on a more user friendly twist and lock system to make things quicker and simpler Basically, we are still in the prototype and improvement phase. The Hut stands 14 ½ “ tall. The pot (bottom part) is 9 ½ “ across and 6” deep. The inside of the Hut is painted gray and textured. With the entrance installed, the Hut weighs 2 pounds and 13 ounces. This picture is of a prototype. I do believe the ones being produced now have an access port. Please contact Don Grasse for current princing. If you are interested in one of these Huts, you can contact Don Grasse at
