darkknight Posted December 31, 2007 Report Posted December 31, 2007 hi all looking for some thoughts i was looking at my design and was thinking would i be better off building separate lofts say 8 x 8 rather than one big one at 16 x 8 what do you think ??? and a happy new year to every one
wayne77 Posted December 31, 2007 Report Posted December 31, 2007 More timber required for two lofts plus in damp wet weather easier under the one roof. Also makes it easier settling ybs as old birds as is fact same loft just different entrance. Good luck. Get that hammer out we want to see progress photos
darkknight Posted December 31, 2007 Author Report Posted December 31, 2007 lol thanks for reply photos will come when i can buy wood lol
ch pied Posted December 31, 2007 Report Posted December 31, 2007 i would go for the bigger , you find your adding bit's on at a later stage
wayne77 Posted December 31, 2007 Report Posted December 31, 2007 i would go for the bigger , you find your adding bit's on at a later stage too right ch pied always find room for a bit more
Guest shadow Posted December 31, 2007 Report Posted December 31, 2007 start with the biggest you can it's a lot easier
Back garden fancier Posted January 1, 2008 Report Posted January 1, 2008 Have a look through the lofts in the members photo's section. You'll get some ideas from there.
Guest Greig the doo Drysdale Posted January 1, 2008 Report Posted January 1, 2008 I am in the middle of puting another 24 footer up which will give me 2 @24 foot and 1 @ 12 foot in my garden
darkknight Posted January 1, 2008 Author Report Posted January 1, 2008 well i cant go bigger than 16 x 8 thats it
darkknight Posted January 1, 2008 Author Report Posted January 1, 2008 i was thinking of building this but with a pent roof http://www.redroselofts.com/starter_loft.htm
Tony C Posted January 1, 2008 Report Posted January 1, 2008 Whatever you choose my advice would be to put a concrete base down first. Good luck.
gangster Posted January 1, 2008 Report Posted January 1, 2008 I am in the middle of puting another 24 footer up which will give me 2 @24 foot and 1 @ 12 foot in my garden NO ROOM LEFT AFTER THAT THEN... ;)

Tony C Posted January 1, 2008 Report Posted January 1, 2008 i cant put a concrete base down landlord wont let me Sitting your loft on railway sleepers would be the next best option.
Guest Greig the doo Drysdale Posted January 1, 2008 Report Posted January 1, 2008 NO ROOM LEFT AFTER THAT THEN... ;) you have seen my garden Gangster still got quite a bit left but thats more than enough thought about taking the small one down just having the 2 big yins and my wee 6x4 garden shed for my baskets
