I love the idea. We if we put in a garage/large outbuilding, would love to include an owl hole. Any experience with these pro or con?

TIA!

Most of the designs i am finding call for using plywood.

I am going to try and make one with cedar siding and 1 1/2" x 1 1/2" in the corners. Ill probably put a cedar shake roof on the top.

I am going to be copying these plans
