has the loft got an internal corridor ?

[ron123]

thanks still a bit to do my friend done it all for me woud have never set up only for him.

[Pompey Mick]

Very nice set-up, though I would fit a handrail along the front of the veranda and up the steps. (from experience).

You easily lose your sense of position when watching a pigeon circle the loft.

[ron123]

yes i have a small corrider just inside middle doors but i am thinkin of putting a trap on right door

wheres your ventilation ?  :-/

[ron123]

that sounds good hopefully i will have some birds circling around loft  ;D

[Thimbles]

what kind of ventilation do you have

[ron123]

ventilation all the way from front of loft roof back inside loft about 2 feet

i suggest you get a smoke bomb and test it out i think youl need some vents in lower at front of loft   but like some have said get a handrail be a nasty fall if fell of watching  birds and a tidy loft from what i can see

[Thimbles]

i would put some vents at floor level aswell

[demolition man]

i would put some vents at floor level aswell

 

me too mate vents at the bottom a must

 

[ron123]

when inside loft believe me plenty of ventilation coming in but i will take what you said on board cheers o railings is coming fell down steps already  ;D

[Guest stevie-b]

[Guest peter4pm]

[pjc]

One of the 'secrets' of loft design......knowing the difference between ventilation & a draught

yes no point having a draught blowing in over the birds u need ventilation at floor level helps keep the floor nice and dry aswell

 

[ron123]

can i make loft higher of the ground are you serious that would be nearly impossible believe me that is a high wall behind loft

[Guest joshdonlan]

think he was joking  ;D
