You can use these simple wooden birdhouse plans to quickly build a lovely DIY project.

First, cut all the components of the house. Sections A, E, and C are beveled at an angle of 22.5 degrees. The same is done for section B but only on one side.

The unplaned side of the section will face inwards to help the birds grip it with their feet effortlessly.

Use a hole saw to drill the hole into section C, which will act as the entry point.

Fasten front section C to B sections, then fasten the B sides to back section A using screws.

Craft the lower section D such that it has a loose-fitting with a gap on all sides to all water drainage from the birdhouse.

Secure screws into pilot holes driven into lower ends of B sections.

We use pilot holes so that the screws can be inserted easily and removed later on to clean the bottom. Make sure to fit the screws loosely for easy removal.

Grip section D in place and drill a hole through component C and into section D.

Then insert a nail into this hole. This can be removed easily by opening the bottom while cleaning.

Now secure the roof component E on the house.

Create pilot holes in board F, which will be used for mounting the birdhouse. We use this mounting board to avoid drilling into trees directly as it can damage them.

Thread a rope through the drilled holes in board F and tie it loosely around a tree branch.

Clean your birdhouse every year to ensure the birds keep returning to it every season.

06 Easy Diy Purple Martin Bird House Plans Blueprints

These DIY purple martin birdhouse plans show how to quickly build some easy birdhouse projects.

You can create as many units as you like and arrange them in a symmetric order to build a whole colony for purple martins.

Each unit is a cube that is 6x6x6 inches and made of pine boards. You can use plywood or any other solid lumber as well.

Once you have decided the number of units you want to build, you can craft the sections for each birdhouse in bulk.

First, craft all the backs for the houses, then the sides, then the fronts, and so on. This will save you time as you won’t have to keep changing the saw settings.

Mark each component with a pencil to help easily identify them since many parts for one unit look similar to each other.

To assemble a birdhouse, use glue and nails to first fasten the sides to the back.

Then secure the bottom and top sections.

The entrance hole is 2 inches wide and drilled at the height of 2 inches from the bottom. Secure the front to the sides with galvanized nails.

Note that the front piece is a little bit shorter in height than the back so that there is a tiny gap left at the top and bottom.

The top gap allows ventilation, while the bottom gap allows water drainage. These gaps also allow the front to be lifted easily without brushing against the upper and lower sections.

Drill a pilot hole on the right side of the front piece about one inch from the bottom. Then insert a screw into the hole to fasten the front piece securely.

The birdhouses for purple martins should be installed at least 30 feet from your house and 8 feet above the ground.

Sparrow Birdhouse Plans

Here are some American tree sparrow birdhouse plans to build a lovely nesting area for these lively birds.

The columns on the shelf prevent larger birds from using it, so if you want to use this design for larger birds, then adjust the column spacing accordingly.

Cut out the back and side parts as per the dimensions shown in the blueprints and fasten them together with nails.

Create a notch in the top section with a saw that will accommodate the back section.

Use a saw with a fence and adjust the depth to cut the notch.

Now cut both the 30-degree angled bevels on the back section.

Complete the radius cut on the lower and upper parts and fasten them to the back and side assembly with nails and glue.

Construct both the roof sections as per the measurements in the diagram. Then create a 15-degree angled cut on one long edge of each section. Glue and clamp the miter joint.

Use a miter saw to cut out the bevels on the roof parts and then clamp the assembly in place beside the back roof sections.

Use a compass to scribe a radius around the assembly and cut along the line.

Apply glue on all the miters in the roof assembly and to the remaining roof components.

Put all pieces together and clamp them to let the glue dry.

Finally, secure the roof assembly with the base using galvanized nails.
