To provide bird food in winteris of course a wonderful thing. But we also attach great importance to the fact that the feeding place is pretty to look at and the look of the elaborately designed garden is not bothered. Bird houses and feeding points are usually located on a high shrub or a tree. But not every garden has a suitable copy. Or maybe you have trees, but far too far from the house and you would like to be able to watch the birds while eating. A bird feed stand would be a wonderful variant. There are great metal models to buy on which hooks are attached that enable bird feed to hang up. But you can also produce a stand for the feed column for birds yourself and we would like to show you some ideas today so that you can design a great bird feed station.
Have you noticed that your food column no longer withstands the big rush? Then supply the birds with several such columnsas well as titm dumplingsand other types of feed donors. To arrange everything compactly in one place, you can combine the feed column with stands. Here are some simple ideas for making yourself:
Food column with stands made of old parasol
You bought a new parasol, but luckily the old one in the shed? Or do you plan to buy a new one in spring anyway? The old one is simply ideally suited if you want to combine every feed column with stands. And you don't even have to do much for it. Simply remove the fabric and you can set up the scaffold as usual and hang bird feed dispensers on it and create a versatile feeding station for birds.
Of course, you can also redesign the stand a little beforehand. For example, you could grind the wood and then paint fresh - whether in a natural wood tone or nice and colorful. Incidentally, you could also upcycles an old laundry spider in this way and use it for new purposes. The laundry stones are ideal for this feed column for titm dumplings, bird feeders andOther feed donorsto use.
Both a parasol and aold umbrellaCan be a wonderful roof in the rain for the birds. Simply tie the umbrella to a bar or another type of stand or leave the fabric of the parasol on the scaffold. Keep in mind that the latter only offers rain protection to a limited extent.
Old rims
Wheels of an old car, bicycle or wood from a carriage are also wonderfully suitable for presenting your feed column with stands. The wheel is simply placed on a metal rod with a suitable diameter and done. Now the feed dispensers can be hung on the spokes with hooks.
Stand for feed column for birds build yourself with pipes
ObFrom PVCOr metal does not matter - pipes are simply the perfect material to place a food column with stands in the garden in a quick and uncomplicated way, which fully corresponds to its ideas. You can design any number of branches by simply using suitable connecting pieces. Should the stand be elegant and conspicuous? Use copper pipes! Would you rather have a little more inconspicuous and so that the stand of the natural environment adapts? Take green pipes made of plastic, which will hardly be visible in front of an evergreen shrub.
Make sure to build the stand sufficiently so that cats do not get to the birds. Otherwise, they bring their feathered friends with their feed column with stands in mortal danger and that is not the point and purpose of the matter.
From wooden beams
A simple wooden beam will also serve the best service if you want to build a feed column with stands. Build feet for the bar if this is to be mobile or concret it in the ground. Then you can screw on metal hooks at the upper end or a wooden board on all four sides of the bar. Then drill holes in these wooden boards to hang the birdhouses or attach hooks.
Would you like to keep squirrels away from bird food? Then clad the beams with a metal rain pipe where you cannot climb up, but slip.
With wooden conductor
Get yoursOld wooden ladderFrom the shed or the garage, because it is not only ideal as a stand for flower pots and decorations, but can also wear the beautiful bird house and display it. It is best to paint them in a beautiful color beforehand and screw the bird house well. If cats visit their garden regularly, this idea is less suitable because it would be easy for cats to climb the ladder. Or they remove the running boards.
