Raised Timber Bird Hide

Design Brief:
This custom-built bird hide was designed to blend seamlessly into the natural environment of the Arnside & Silverdale Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. Elevated slightly from the ground to ensure minimal environmental disruption and to provide clear viewing lines, the structure offers a peaceful and weather-protected space for wildlife observation and education.

Constructed using pressure-treated timber for longevity, the hide includes multiple framed observation windows with lift-up shutters and simple internal bench seating, perfect for groups or individual birdwatchers. Its clean lines and durable construction ensure both functionality and a discreet footprint within the sensitive landscape.
