Make a birdhouse the easy way.
Building a birdhouse for your NZ garden birds isn’t that hard, well not if you are already a DIY enthusiast. However, if you aren’t and don’t own a set of tools it could turn into quite a job. So why not make it a little easier and enjoy the project with a Kohab Birdhouse kitset. Then you can get down to the serious business of enjoying the birds in your garden.
What's in the box?
With Kohab our DIY birdhouse kits come with everything you need:
Wooden pieces, cut to size with tabs so that they fit together perfectly. Made from 12mm marine plywood that will last and last and is safe for birdlife (unlike tantalised wood)
Stainless steel nails and sturdy mounting screws that won’t rust
It's really easy...
Simply slot all the pieces together and hammer the nails into the part-drilled holes. That's it!
You don’t even have to paint it, well unless you want to, (we have tips for that here: 5 tips for painting birdhouses). And you don't have to worry about your resident birds either as they will be warm and cosy in a well ventilated and dry nesting box. We've even made it easy to open up at the end of the breeding season to give it a clean ready for the next season.
So why spend your time in the DIY store when you could be sitting in the garden enjoying your homemade DIY birdhouse and watching a new generation of birdlife that you gave a helping hand. Enjoy!
