Have a look at this one at Newport Lakes in Melbourne (2nd photo, left hand 
column):

It's basically just a wall, and I imagine it was way cheaper than having a roof 
and door, etc, as well.
I'd rather have several simple hides than one expensive one, especially when 
you consider the chances
that it'll turn out to be in the wrong spot, and I'd rather put money onto a 
higher platform than a roof.

I think you also have to consider how attractive a roofed hide might be to 
teenage drinkers, the homeless, arsonists, etc.

BirdLife Southern Highlands is working with the NSW National Parks and
Wildlife Service to install a hide at Cecil Hoskins Reserve, a RAMSA site
near Moss Vale, NSW. We have a number of guidelines, including BOCA's 'Bird
Hides and Boardwalks' by Bob Shanks, but we'd value any comments,
observations or 'views by members of the list.
