This is probably not the best product for that application. It is quite light weight, and would probably need to be fastened on all sides.

You could easily use tent spikes for this, for me, i have had no issue in quite a lot of use and bad weather but I also have a problem with raccons so I have two bricks weighing down the top opening as they can use latches.

We placed ours at outside edge of large picture window, and keep the drape partially closed so they do not see through back. So far have only saw one small bird checking it out but no residents so far. Its a great idea, but I would like to hear from someone who actually has birds actually using the birdhouse.

Yes the mesh is small enough to keep birds out. We've had this in our back yard for over a year and never had any issues.

We used netting to keep large prey birds off our laying hens but small birds have no problem getting through to get at the chicken feed.It sounds like you need a smaller mesh.

It has 3 access points ... Pop door, nesting boxes & full width side door. The side door being the biggest opening, likely need to tackle cleanout from both sides (nesting & side). Biggest challenge is also how low to the ground it is further making maintenance, clean put or general access generally difficult. That being said, I had similar concern so during assemblely I did not attach the roof so I would had additional access for clean out as well as hanging small feeders. Full perspective - this unit is not strong or durable. It will not keep out any predators. It would be better suited to be kept within a larger structure ... barn. I have mine in a fenced/netted pen, used occationally, for quarantine or transitioning new or sick birds before they go back to the main coop. It has been out exposed to NJ weather almost one year. Ventilation is poor; winter temps were okay, rain & heat causes mold if closed up, summer heat accumulation can be deadly - birds can not be left in coop. My opinion it will not survive another year. Just today I was struggling with opening the pop door (little wood swell) and I thought it was going to crumble or snap in my hands - cedar like wood is thin, similar to wood shims. Exercise caution when deciding on this product.

Its very sticky which is perfect for birds...They won't land on the stuff.....You would need to put it where it wouldn't block or obstruct the water from entering your gutters ...Be careful not to get any on your hands...Hard to get off, but works great!

I wouldn't. The doors are too easy to open and they do not latch. My finches have figured it out and have opened them. Unless you would want to secure them, but I have also noticed that the corners have gaps that I am not able to close correctly. The birds do not bother with it, but I bet a hamster would find it right away and figure a way to get out. I have wire ties on these issues, which work well, but I'm not sure its the best answer for a hamster. Hopefully this helps.

we thought about putting plastic over the opening. just glue it or screw it on top of hole like a door flap. but if you put enough hay inside they realy dont need it.joey

What I did was after i positioned it near the window. I propped the window open with a 12 inch tile, i secured the spare netting to the tile with a foam sealant and let it dry before cutting a hole next to it for my pet to use.

I'm also facing this problem because of the snow and ice that accumulate and keeps the birds from getting to the seed. I'm thinking about buying "L" shaped aluminum pieces about 1/2" X 1/2" by 2 ft and screwing them to the corners of the base and attaching a piece of colored plexiglass to the "L" piecing using corner brackets. I think a colored cover might be easier for the birds to see; they might fly into a clear cover. To keep larger animals away I use an airsoft BB pistol that my grandson gave me! I have to wait until the weather warms up before I can build anything; it's -20 F outside and +10 F in my garage.

U can use the tiny screws that you push in with ur hands. It only makes a tiny hole and it holds up the netting. I think we used one on each corner.

My husband opened the cover and put two holes in the back and attached it to a tree with screws. But we ended up sending it back because we wanted blue birds to nest in it and kept on getting house finches.

The screen doesn't come out. But it doesn't need to. I just flip it over and tap on the bottom to dump the leftover seed out. The birds pick through it on the ground. Most of what I find leftover is seed casings. If I had to clean it, I would just run the hose over it. I haven't found anything in the tray that is nasty; no poop. Its hung from the bottom of the deck above my patio. The squirrels can't get to it and the birds like it. I love this feeder. Its made of plastic so it won't rot like wood.

It is open on back side. My kitty houses are inside the garage. I covered the back opening with cardboard to stop the draft flowing through.

Our coop is fenced it so we used a staple gun to secure the net to the posts and ziptied the rest of the areas to the fence. We had to cut or net because of the shape of our coop and then just zip tied the two halves together. We have a large coop with support beams running down the middle that the net lays over. We have never had any problems, get a lot of pine needles stuck in the netting, occasionally some sticks and pinecones and one time a big hawk got caught. Still no damage after a year and a half.
