Construct the main tapered octagonal body using vertical cedar planks joined with mitered edges to mimic a classic lighthouse structure. Incorporate a central acrylic seed reservoir that keeps contents dry while allowing for easy volume monitoring.

Fashion the lantern gallery using a copper wire mesh screen to protect the top section from larger birds. Install a small solar-powered LED at the peak to cast a gentle glow across your garden at dusk.

Craft the wraparound viewing deck using weather-treated composite decking boards for long-term durability against moisture. Add a small railing made from thin dowels to provide perching space for small songbirds to land safely.

Apply a high-quality marine-grade spar varnish to the entire exterior to protect the wood from harsh coastal elements and UV rays. Mount the assembly on a sturdy pressure-treated post equipped with a metal predator guard.
