Garden sheds bought and then converted. The first pic is the way I bought the sheds. Second pic shows how I finished them off.

 

 

Can give closer pics if you think they'll help.

Due to the possibility of damage being caused by high winds, I made wooden frames to locate the Sputniks in, and give them more strength.

 

 

 

When the sheds were in place, there was naturally a gap from floor to base. I wanted to cover this over, so decking was cut, and fixed accordingly. Later stained with creosote.

 

 

 

Holes cut to allow for ventilators.

 

 

 

To stop birds having access to Sputnik, removable dowel frames were made.

 

 

 

 

To stop birds seeing outside and maybe disturbed by activity in the garden, hinged opaque frames were made. No great loss of light, and also calms the birds down.

 

 

Finally, dowel doors with sprung closers. Bottom 18" opaque PVC used so passing cats, or our own dogs won't disturb the birds.

 

 

 

 

Hope these help in some small way.
