Can you paint this birdhouse? Or does it need to be sanded first? I'm thinking about having my child's class paint it for the school auction.

I don't see any reason why it couldn't be painted. The wood is smooth, but I don't think it would need to be sanded before painting it. I didn't paint the ones I bought, but that was by choice. Hope that helps.

They seem fairly smooth to me. Perhaps a little sanding here and there, but otherwise I could not catagorize them as "rough finished".Hope that helps :)

Sure. I think it can be painted without sanding it first. Maybe a little rough, but I think a dark stain would be fine. This bird feeder needs to mounted in a somewhat remote area of your garden to attract bluebirds. I would avoid wild or bold colors.

It is smooth enough that it would take paint without any problems. No sanding would be required. This birdhouse would make an excellent project for your child's class. Good luck!

It is made of colored plastics and not meant to be painted. If you really want to paint it, you may need to use undercoat paint first, and even then, I think the areas around the flaps will probably not take on any paint easily - will probably come off later.

hi - as a buyer not seller - my thoughts are 1) they paint this black and its dirt cheap but you could paint over it and 2) I searched for a dark gray and found no one made colors but some places sold a primed not painted variation which might hold the paint better but it cost more then this one cost. "Junk Yards" which is where I thought I could get a good used one in my color - online at least - seemed to avoid telling colors and still charging more - .............. That is my experience (so I kept the black as black since the gray I needed is truly dark)

I have not used it but when the guys who invented this were on Shark Tank they assured the Sharks that it could be sanded and painted. Hope this helps. Linda B.

Hi, Yes you should Paint the whole Hull before you Put it Together cause that's what I did, I recommend you use Masking Tape around it as well before you start Painting, the whole Hull is in Black so all you would have to do is the Red Waterline on the Bottom and the White on the Top.

Hello Amazon Friend, No. I have not painted it. That is a superb idea, though. My hutch is still holding on real well and it has been in the direct weather since I purchased it about 1 1/2 to two years ago. The only thing that broke was the 'angle latter' that gets the little critters to the upper level. I had to invent one myself. Funny thing, my critters are not little...they are Flemish Giant rabbits! So, the hutch is very capable of holding 'heavy' weight for a long period of time. My Flemish Giant rabbits weigh (full body weight) 8 to 10 pounds! I use this hutch as my 'Holding' cage prior to processing the rabbits for meat. The cage is only empty about 1 to 2 days a week. Other than that it holds up to 30 pounds (3 rabbits) very securely. I like the idea of painting the OUTSIDE ONLY for better protection of the weather. I'll try that !

I painted the whole thing the same color but believe if you wanted to paint the end's a different color you probably could. You'd probably need to tape up the part you don't want painted but think it might be best to paint before you put it together. It's a really cute bench and can make what ever size you want. WELL worth the money and very sturdy. Have it under a tree in the back yard. Hope that helps you!

I would suggest lightly sanding the black with 150- 220 grit paper so new paint will grip well. If you can prime with something other than Latex, be better off on metal, perhaps rustoleum. I f you can get the paint in oil , would be best, but unlikely. Use gloss at any rate as harder finish I believe. The last option...Move ! Kidding Mark

It's not made of the cheapie plywood or particle board. I don't think you could paint it; but the contact paper or similar could be used. They are really nice and sturdy.

Mine arrived with a very smooth finish. I sprayed painted it black without sanding and it looks great - very smooth and even finish. I can't speak to how evenly it would take a stain but the piece definitely arrived already sanded.

Hello Deb,With the exception of the holes in the front for birds to enter, this birdhouse is a sealed, solid wooden structure, and unfortunately cannot be opened. Thank you very much for your question! Please let us know if there is anything else we may help you with.Have a great day,Meghan CoyneCustomer ServiceMade in Oregon1-866-257-0938

I never painted mine, but I was told it could be painted. I would ask at a hardware store or call a professional painter.

You might need to sand it. Check with local paint store, test it on one of the support bars at the bottom

Its made of wood with stain. I think you can paint but you need to remove the stain. You can buy stain remover at home depoh.

I don't think so. It has a veneer finish which I don't think you can sand in order for the paint to adhere. I'm not a big DIY person so maybe someone else has a better opinion.

It is definitely sandable. If the surrounding areas of the particle board are sound, you should be able to use it. I used it on a rotted out area of my outdoor shed, then sanded and painted it. It looks like new.

Yes, it could be very easily painted or stained. It even says so in the directions that come with it. Since it's unfinished, I don't think that it needs to be sanded but, I'm not an export on painting...
