Build your own bird table with tiled roof and gargoyle finial

Here is a creative use for a ridge gargoyle, why not build your own bird table for the garden and make a real feature of it by decorating it with an ornate gargoyle finial? This is exactly what one of our customers created and when they completed their project they sent a fantastic set of pictures showing the finished creation

The bird table is timber hardwood construction and finished with a dark stain for the main part of the structure and the roof section. It has a tiled roof which features terracotta plain roof tiles and roll top ridge tiles with the gargoyle which serves as the prominent piece that looks down from the apex. It is a very functional and clever creation where nuts, seeds and food can be left out on the bird table to feed birds and other wildlife

The bird table features a small nesting box to cater for smaller birds to make a functional nest to rear their young. It is a great example of how roof finials can be used in creative ways to create something that looks stunning. Our customers find all kinds of creative ways to use the finials not only on roofs but for installations, displays and ornamental use. There are literally no limits to an individual’s creativity when it comes to incorporating the pieces in a particular design. This is just one example of the gargoyle range, there are many others to choose from plus other types of finials which come in different sizes and styles to suit a range of different tastes and applications
