Okitsme Posted October 23, 2007 Report Posted October 23, 2007 Hi All, I have a loft for sale that I bought in April when I started up with pigeons. Reason for the sale is because I need a bigger loft. The loft is 9' x 7' with two sections: One is 5' and the other is 4'. The loft is in immaculate condition and is basically brand new. It has a landing deck and exit flaps in each section. The front is dowelled with sliding doors. I am putting it up for sale at £600. Thanks David

chickadee Posted October 23, 2007 Report Posted October 23, 2007 Aye it'll be a great loft for someone that's just starting out. ;D

Nice loft anyway a real beautiful!!! jimbobboy usa Have only had the chance to race young birds to let them go through the trap door on landing deck. Will be using a sputnik for next year.

Guest shadow Posted October 23, 2007 Report Posted October 23, 2007 did you buy it from stoneys in the bhw
DOVEScot Posted October 23, 2007 Report Posted October 23, 2007 have you not had problems with stoats getting in through the dowels,or do you have shuters? it is a nice loft though. Why do loft manufacturers make them like that then you have to mesh them to keep out the unwanted's
chickadee Posted October 24, 2007 Report Posted October 24, 2007 Why do loft manufacturers make them like that then you have to mesh them to keep out the unwanted's Maybe someone ought to let the manufacturers know about that problem, if no one tells them they won't know.
Okitsme Posted October 24, 2007 Author Report Posted October 24, 2007 Hi I will be leaving this loft for sale until 5pm this evening. If no one wants it then I will take a different approach to expanding my loft. Maybe get a smaller extension to the loft as a different section.

It would probably be the cheapest option If it is sectional move the end section out and piece in the extension, easy and cheapest way to do it
Okitsme Posted October 24, 2007 Author Report Posted October 24, 2007 Thats what I thought, but really wanted to get a new loft with everything I wanted. Guess I could still work with this loft tho. Its a good size with two sections so if I add another section I should have enough space to race properly.
Okitsme Posted October 24, 2007 Author Report Posted October 24, 2007 Hi All, Loft is no longer for sale. Have decided to keep it and build onto it. Thanks David
Wiley Posted October 24, 2007 Report Posted October 24, 2007 why dont you buy the loft with everything you wanted, but also take this loft with you for stock purposes?
Okitsme Posted October 24, 2007 Author Report Posted October 24, 2007 Hi Wiley, I would if I could but I have very limited space in my back garden. Regards David
