Birdhouse Blank Base (waterproof)
Birdhouse Blank Base (waterproof)
BACK IN STOCK!! NEW IMPROVED VERSION
I looked for a waterproof birdhouse for about 10 years. I finally decided I would make my own! This birdhouse is completely waterproof, has an inset roof to protect mosaic work, has drain holes, can be mounted on a mounting pole, and is very sturdy. I hope you have as much fun mosaicking it as I do. It can be displayed indoors or outdoors.
New:
Magnetic door that slides down (much easier!)
Black moulding on the bottom ( you don’t have to worry about your bottom pieces coming loose as you work)
Add your own perch. I like to use drawer pulls. There are so many fun options
————————————————————
Dimensions: 6.75" wide, 6.25" deep, 15" high (inset roof panels 6" x 7"; inset is 3/16" deep)
Waterproof bonded lucite
Backdoor so you can clean out nests; it is held closed by strong magnets
Drain holes in bottom to keep baby birds dry
Pre-drilled holes on bottom allow for easy attachment of mounting baseplate
Recommended adhesive: GE Kitchen and Bath Silicone II (clear)
Mounting pole is not included, but you can buy one here
If you would like to display your birdhouse outdoors, I recommend hammering a 3ft rebar pipe into the ground, then slipping this mounting kit over the top.
These poles were made specifically fit my birdhouses and attach easily to the bottom.
P L E A S E R E A D
Pound a 3ft piece of rebar into the ground about halfway. Then slip this pole over your rebar. This will ensure that your birdhouse will remain secure. Rebar can be found at Home Depot in short lengths.
