I don't think the standard concrete boxes you buy have really thick holes Matt,
Its probably the same thickness as a standard bird box, The ones I have seen anyway.
If you can make it thicker I'm sure it will be more appealing because it offers more protection.
I wonder if thats why my sparrows love my box I have for them, Before under the hole on instead there a "ledge" that is around 5cm / 6cm long before they drop down into the nest part of the box.
That is the only difference with that box compared to a normal one, That is designed to offer extra protection because if a cat gets it paw in hole they can't reach into the nest part due to this ledge inside.
