Description

DIY Plan for building a birdhouse with a gable roof. This DIY Plan is designed to be easy to follow and is perfect for those who want a safe, classic home for small birds. The difficulty level is easy, and the construction time is approximately two to four hours from the first cut to the last screw. The birdhouse’s clear, timeless shape is combined with a gable roof that effectively diverts rainwater, and a round entrance hole placed high on the front provides extra protection against both weather and predators. The roof can be covered with tar paper to increase moisture resistance and provide longer durability.

This is also a great project to do with children – practical, educational, and rewarding when the birds move in. You will work with common tools such as a miter saw, screwdriver, hammer, and measuring tools, and each step is clearly described so you can confidently follow the process from loose lumber to finished birdhouse.

The DIY Plan includes complete measurement lists, sawing and cutting instructions, and assembly steps that show how the parts should be put together step by step. The drawing makes proportions and placements easy to understand, ensuring the fit is correct from the start. The result is a beautiful and functional birdhouse with a gable roof that withstands the weather, provides small birds with a safe nesting place, and brings joy to you as the builder – year after year.
