I have made a wooden lid, and then waterproofed it with polythene, hopefully producing a watertight lid for your hedgehog house or hedgehog shelter. As usual it's just made using common sense, you may think of another way of waterproofing, there's probably several variations. Anyway, what ever the method, the end result aimed for, is providing the nations hedgehog, a dry safe place in which to hibernate.

DIY method of felting a roof. It's very easy, just cut your felt into a square, then place on the osb lid, then cut each corner and fold round. See the video for a full demo. Cheers Steve.

HI, this is a video where i show how to create a felt roof for a hedgehog shelter, or what ever it is that is need of a felt roof. I complete the roof in heat applied torch on felt, although, this method of felting a roof is readily transferable to self adhesive DIY felts available at DIY stores. It's a really simple but effective way to felt a very small roof, though i do recommend that you do the roof in 2 layers, with the first layer being the main means of waterproofing, and the top layer, both a waterproofing layer, and one which looks nice.

Though not woodwork, it shows how to apply a roof to the lid of the hedgehog house woodwork for beginners project. I was a felt roofer for 30 years, so hopefully this will be of use to you. Cheers Stevo.

Hi, i have just upload some pics and a video about how to install a heat applied felt roof to your hedgehog house, as a finishing touch to the woodworking for beginners series of video's. As you can see i use a naked flame to stick the torch on felt i.e felt pre coated with bitumen. This roof should keep the hedgehog shelter warm cozy and dry resulting in hopefully a happy spring times hedgehog. With a little thought, this method of enveloping the felt could easily be adapted to cold applied felts on sale at virtually all DIY stores. Hope this info is of use, cheers Stevo.

My latest video instruction in the construction of the hedgehog house roof is posted below. Showing how to make the roof out of wood, and prep the bitumen backed felt (torch on felt) in readiness for sticking it to the wood via a naked flame from a gas gun. I was a professional flat roofer for many years, so it is quite interesting to view i think,
