In this bumper woodworking course, you will learn how to build a beautiful bird house, a small aviary (animal enclosure), three wooden garden planters: a decorative planter, a more simple planter and then a stackable vegetable planter.
Develop your skills
We’ll start off learning how to build a simple planter made out of decking boards. This course assumes no prior knowledge, so everything is explained in full and you no DIY experience. Once we’ve created the first planter, we will develop our skills further and apply them in building a much more decorative version of the first planter.
The good thing about both of these planters is that the materials required are relatively inexpensive, and the tools you’ll need can be found in any DIY shop and can be bought without spending a fortune. Because the materials are affordable, the projects in this course are great for developing and improving your DIY skills. The skills you learn can be applied to other DIY projects too.
As well as garden planters, I’ll show you how to build a very simple but very useful stackable vegetable planter. This planter can be completely bespoke, and you can make it as tall or short as you like and arrange it into an array of different designs. I’ve called it a vegetable planter as it is ideal for creating your own home allotment, but it can actually be used for growing anything you like.
If you’d like to welcome more birds into your garden then why not build your own bird table, lavish it with food and watch as your new feathered friends enjoy your handy work.
The final project is the small bird aviary that can also be adapted to house other animals such as rabbits, guinea pigs and many other furry or feathered friends.
