cheers gonna have a good go at it anyway

sorry i meant west .can it be done successfully facing west tho?

hi happy new year to everybody.i have a west facing loft due to available space at home.but the lads in my local club reckon i have no chance of any success facing west.just wondered if everybody agrees?cheers

cheers everybody bgreat advice as usual.the loft will be quite well sheltered but i may still anchor it down.

thanks tony.do the timbers need fixing to breezes or are they fine just sat on top?

hi ive got a 12x8ft blakes loft arriving early jan.ive constructed the base (well attempted) i have it built up 8 inch off the floor on breeze blocks,with 3 pieces of 4x4 timber sat on.do i need to fix the timber to breezes or anything else?or is that fine?many thanks simon

hi ive got a 12x8ft loft from blakes arriving in a few weeks.its my 1st loft could anybody offer any tips on how to put a base down,and best way of doing it?cheers

cheers george

hi george nice shed mate.what size and where did you get it mate?how many birds will you fly

hi anybody have any expereience of nortons lofts and sheds?

finally got to the stage of ordering loft.narrowed it down to ecco sheds or blakes.anybody have any opinions on the better quality and more reliable of the 2?

some pics would be great stewarty dove

thanks oldyellow

im still undecided as whether to train from hutches or a small loft.anybody know of any loft makers in north west england area?cheers

thanks rose and ribble

hi anybody have an e.mail adress for keith mott?i could do with some in depth advice on training from hutches and he seems to be the most well known fancier doing this.cheers

no not got birds yet spin cycle.thanks for the advice mate.i,ll go and get a pair of fantails going

thanks little sam i was thinking 15ish

anybody got any ideas on number of y.bs to start next season with.i want a manageable amount that im going to train from hutches.but also enough to cope with losses.cheers

no worries mick any conversation on training out of hutches is worth listening to.my father suffered terribly from pigeon lung when i was very young hence my apeteite for trying hutches

thanks for all the help.what you have there george look spot on mate

thanks for that.i was purely thinking of starting with hutches to gain experience before buying a loft and putting a whole new team of y.bs together and being out of my depth.i was thinking of building a team slowly over the years.thanks for advice much appreciated
