 Don't let the elegant appearance deceive you. This Cottage Birdhouse is simple to build, and it has all the features your feathered friends look for in a summer home.
It's a bird-lover's dream house,. Sculpted ends, clapboard siding, and a copper-covered roof give it great curb appeal. For comfort and hygiene, the house is easy to dismantle for cleanup, and weep holes offer full-time ventilation and drainage.
Use a naturally rot-resistant wood like cedar, and apply finish only to the exterior surfaces (treated lumber or finished interiors can harm birds). Mount the house on a galvanized pole to keep predators away.
The Cottage Birdhouse plans include a six-page step-by-step booklet and two 18" x 24" sheets of shop drawings. You also get a pre-printed shopping list you can take to your local lumberyard or home center. The list includes all the wood, supplies, and tools you'll need to build this birdhouse.
And you get our Total Success Guarantee: We're confident that we've provided all of the shop-tested instructions and plans that you need to build this project. If you are not totally successful with this project, just let us know, and we'll refund 100% of the purchase price of this plan. No questions asked.
