I'm just getting into building bird feeders. I see most of the ones at Lowes has a panel that looks like lapped planks. This is a milled t&g piece approx 4" wide. Does any one know of a source for something like this?
Thanks,

Re: Roof Panels

If you'd drop by some construction sites, you could probably pick up plenty of Hardi Plank shorts in several styles. They make good weatherproof panels. Just a thought.

Re: Roof Panels

If anybody wants to make rustic bird feeders or bird houses, I have a lot of old rusty tin.

Re: Roof Panels

Try Hobby Town, Hobby Lobby, or a model railroad shop. Several companies make plastic and wood with that pattern and others and they usually "scale" better to a bird house than conventional human sized stuff.
