new starter setting up racing 2010 pics

[pjc]

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

 

lol, bet you had fun building that one!

Nice set up though.

[mart_1986]

get the vents as low as possible i dont like vents in the floor but thats just personal chioce but vents are a must at lower level and top of the roof winter isnt so bad but breedeing and racing its a must if you want them to saty in form

 

nice loft all the best

[andrecrock]

i would put some vents at floor level aswell

 

Nice looking setup mate,

got to agree on the vents on bottom bud.I only yesterday visited a mate of mine that has been having trouble with his y/b loft since he started two year ago.we both agree that the vents at roof height is not good enough,stale air is hanging at bottom of loft.I struggled to breath my self.

 

Best of luck.

[wilkins]

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

 

i watched a dvd he other day and the guy said cold air drops and hot air goes up , so he said there was no need for bottom vents, this will stop a sudden temp change

having said that my shed has bottom vents

The loft is elegant. It would be nice to see the buildings around the loft too. Depending on their height and distance to the loft, the birds might stay on those buildings, and you don't want that.

You do not need vents at the bottom you have it right if the air is comming in at the roof.

It's nice to see new starters with such a good set up,when I first started up I think I had a 4X4 shed made up of orange boxes.One little bit of advice I would give you is to have something like hawethorn branches or roughly rolled up wire netting on the loft roof to stop pigeons or more so cats landing on it.Good luck.

A nice loft and tidy all around. I could do with you to sort me out. Regarding the comments you are getting. Most people have made the mistakes and have learned from them. And when things like ventilation are mentioned it is because it really is a very important issue. Of course there are other things you should add to your list of things to check. Sunlight, stock levels and dryness are a few to be going on with. The new concern amongst Pigeon Fanciers is humidity. And it is seriously important. So you have plenty to be going on with.

One thing that occured to me. If I have a lovely set up like that I would probably injure myself. It would be an odds on bet that I would fall off the staging and end up nursing my wounds and bruises. My wife reckons that I am the clumsiest person she has ever known.

[pigeonscout]

I would have netting running from the top of the wall down to the front of the roof.

[Guest gladdo]

ron looks a pure belter mate ...if i was you mate looking at your garden id put something on roof so birds cant land ...something neat as if they hit top of loft its lost time mate ,,, also something like nails coming up side walls to stop the cats and any little robbers mate...just an idea .... mikey ( dublin, ireland ) keep us all posted on how your doing ...well done ...
