With a good glue and UniBond’s straightforward guide, making a birdhouse and bringing nature into your garden has never been easier.
You’ve got the wooden decking, the outdoor furniture, the flower beds and the pond – but what can really make your garden the ultimate sanctuary of tranquility? Yes, it’s the sound of birds chirping and singing, nature’s most calming ambient soundtrack.
How do you go about attracting birds into your backyard? One is a birdfeeder, but that requires constant refilling. Better yet, a birdhouse is something you can mount and leave for an avian family to discover and take residence in. With the right glue and the following plans for building a birdhouse, you can discover how easy it is to make your own.
Given the birdhouse’s location in a British garden, at the mercy of summer heatwaves, autumn storms and freezing winter temperatures, you’ll need a glue that can stand up to all three. UniBond’s One For All range utilises Henkel’s patented Flextec technology to make it resistant to shocks, extreme temperatures (-30°C to + 80°C) and have superior elasticity. This extra strong and waterproof construction adhesive provides high strength and long-lasting bonding for wood, as well as for glass, plastics, brick, tile, stone, ceramic, concrete, metal and mirror.
When choosing the wood, if possible go for a hardwood like oak or beech, as these are more hard-wearing. If you do select a soft wood like pine, be sure to treat it before assembling, in order to make it more weather-resistant.
