It's very simple, uses one 1"x6" fence board. I made several using this plan, and embellished them a little with found objects and coffee cans (covered the roof in the metal.) Good luck, and have fun!

I have several plans that I use as a reference. Let me know. georgiagarden3 Arlington, GA (Zone 8a) February 27, 2006 10:33 PM Post #2076405 Magwar,I was hoping to learn the house shaped ones. any help you could provide would be great. Magwar Royston, GA (Zone 7b) March 01, 2006 06:34 PM Post #2080150 Sure thing, send me a email at and I will email you a pdf format of one out of a book of mine. I have made two of them. I also have a pattern for one, but I haven't been able to write down the dimensions yet. I am currently dismanteling an old bird feeder that I am going to make a pattern out of and turn it into a bird house. Once I get the dimensions on it, I will send you those as well. It looks like only a small piece of ply wood is used, some 1x4's and two small pieces of plexiglass for the bird feeder.
