    I love the idea as I have wanted to do something with the roof of my bird table for a long time. However, where do you find the water retentive matting and sedum matting, and can you just buy enough to fit a bird table or would I have to order a huge amount which would go to waste.
    Alternatively, could I use some other materials that would do the job just as well? I have some sedums in a pot, so could I make my own matting in some way?

    What a great idea for my bird table, i may also modify this to give my lawn feeder a roof to keep the bird food dry. Many thanks for this idea.

    Like the idea so am going to build one at work for our young adults to watch the birds feed , but would the same idea work on my bike shed for birds to feed from ??

    Who can tell me where I can buy the sedum matting from? I have looked everywhere and the smallest piece is 1 x 1 metre priced at £74.00! I don't think so!

    How about growing my own in the polly tunnel, how easy/difficult is this and what do i need to grow the seeds on?

    Thanks

    How heavy is this roof would a bird table take the weight when the sedum was full of water?
