Can anyone recommend where to get decent aviary panels ?

I have recently bought a 12x6 loft and plan to add an aviary on to the end. Space is limited to it can either be 3x6 or 4x6 max. Is this OK and worth adding ? I will keep ybs in the section next to the aviary. What number of birds will thrive in this space (not overcrowded) ?

Thanks !

I plan on starting with the natural system. Is there any problem in ybs whose parents have flown widowhood adapting to the natural system. In other words do I need to have ybs from parents who have been natural flyers or can I change systems as I want ?

Thanks Paul !

'll get them on here asap. This site has been brilliant, I look forward to getting set-up and starting with my first birds asap. Thank you !

Thanks ! I don't want to go to additional expense if its not necessary.

I have a 12x6 loft being delivered at the weekend. Do I need a base putting down or can the shed stand on breeze blocks ? What height should it be raised from ground level?

Does anyone know of a company that will collect a loft (12 x 6) that is already dismantled and deliver it. I am looking to buy a loft that needs collecting from Norfolk. I live in Yorkshire. Any suggestions ? I don't have the time to hire a van and collect it myself.

Which is the easiest method for a beginner ? I like the idea of natural but would appreciate further advise. I shall only have the one loft (16') to start with.

I am looking for a copy of this book if anyone has one for sale !

Skipton Which sites have designs on them ?

Having read a number of topics on the subject of Lofts purchased from shed companies I am increasingly worried that they are not worth the money. If I could get hold of a detailed loft plan that a local carpenter could make would it be cheaper to purchase would it be more likely to withstand the weather? Does anyone have any plans I could use ? I am looking to build a 16' loft for racing using ETS.

No not yet !
