Pallet Wood 4-Room Birdhouse Plan

Using wood from recycled pallets just makes sense...not only do you save money making this original design but you also help the environment by saving trees and keeping used pallets out of landfills.

Full-size patterns and instructions are included to make this four bedroom condo with removal cleanout panels. Coat with clear sealer or a color wash to allow the texture of the recycled boards to show through or paint your birdhouse a solid color. (22" tall)

NOTE: Pine boards or low-cost fence boards can also be used to make this fun project in lieu of salvaged pallet boards.
