oldguy Posted January 21, 2009 Report Posted January 21, 2009 When I decided to construct my loft I had to make it easy to clean etc as I dont have a great deal of time to be scrubbing and scraping every day here are a few photos showing how the loft was built to cut down on any additional work other than simple maintenance for a few years to come when it comes to cleaning out, its just a case of sweep the easybed off the floor, pour a bucket of hot water and bleach, scrub with a yard brush, and mop the water up kev

Guest asha Posted January 22, 2009 Report Posted January 22, 2009 Not to sure,bringing water into loft :B no way,perches seem like painted gloss real bad ideal,you should let wood breath.
Guest shadow Posted January 22, 2009 Report Posted January 22, 2009 I would never intentionly bring water into the loft apart from the drinkers, must take ages to completely dry out in the winter
oldguy Posted January 22, 2009 Author Report Posted January 22, 2009 I would never intentionly bring water into the loft apart from the drinkers, must take ages to completely dry out in the winter thanks for the comments guys when the loft is washed out it takes 10 mins to dry if that, due to all the walls having 3 inch of insulation the temperature inside is never below 3 degrees even on the frostiest of days, and airvents circulate any moist air and it never has any problems with condensation wood is easier to clean and disinfect with a smooth painted finish than with a rough natural surface. obviously the photos did not intentionally include a pigeon, but it could always be colour fed or something, to be seen more easy kev

oldguy Posted January 22, 2009 Author Report Posted January 22, 2009 One year after the first birds used the loft, its condition and hygiene is working as I planned. the birds poop doesnt cause any problems either to the floor or their boxes, all the surfaces scrub up well
Guest joshdonlan Posted January 22, 2009 Report Posted January 22, 2009 Great stuff mate Do you race these birds or what?
blackswan Posted January 22, 2009 Report Posted January 22, 2009 :) :) :)oldguy you are quite right with the white gloss paint makes the perches easy to keep clean very nice job
