Step By Step
- Build the birdhouses according to manufac-turer's instructions. If you plan to stack them, leave the top rod off the roof except for the top birdhouse.
- Paint or stain as desired. Beauti-Tone stain and paint are available in over a thousand colours. Just think of the possibilities!
- Glue and screw the bottom birdhouse to base. Stack birdhouses into the groove of the roof of the birdhouse below. Glue with power grab and nail.
- Glue finial on top birdhouse.
- Secure base to post securely.
Optional: Cut two pieces of plywood for the two sides of the roof. This will hide the seams and add a bit more stability.
