Ive just made a 16x7 just need to put the front on and internal fittings.Now ive got to be the worst Diy'er in the world ive even sawn through my finger in the past ive had that many black finger nails from the hammer amongst other injurys diy related so the task was really daunting for me.Now i think ive got it sussed.What i did is use Boards then tounge and groove cladding on the outside to save the black fingers i used a cordless drill and screw's.Even the missus says it looks allright.So yeah if ya put a bit of thought and effort in mate it will work.Also draw the shed before you make it and dont forget VENTILATION.Louvres at the bottom front and a vent at the top back.Just my idea's mate i'm still new at the sport so it may be you ask for a few more suggestions before start and get as many idea's as possible

Build the frame, and where the compartments are to be ... then fit 1/2 inch mesh all over the parimeter. Do some battens likewise for the roof and cover both sides with wire mesh the same. Place a slightly slanted (forward) roof over it that is a foot or so above it. This needs to be overlapped by  a foot or so, and fill in the gap between the roof and the false  wire mesh roof with a batton frame covered again both sides with the wire mesh. Place Plastic air vents on a frame as the outer wall. I cladd mine with plastic for the winter -that can ne quickly removed - and more air vents used as a wall from May onwards. My nest boxes are just a foot square, great for just the one round needed. IF more youngster were / are needed then it would be 2 foot DEEP as opposed to wide. Mine loft is 16 foot wide nearly. it goes back 9 foot. it has  four compartments and just one entry for both  me and the pigeions. That is nearly 3 foot wide. So that is 3 compartments within 13 foot nearly.The three are just 3 -4 foot deep to the foot square nest boxes, or birds cages. The fourth for y/b's runs the full 13 foot length at the back and is nearly 3  and a half foot deep. Could comfortably house 70 - 80 birds.
