Guest Grasshopper Lofts Posted February 10, 2009 Report Posted February 10, 2009 look great mate well done
fletch Posted February 10, 2009 Report Posted February 10, 2009 good idea mate all looking good my wife works at wilkinsons i wonder why she didnt think of that idea?
jimmy white Posted February 10, 2009 Report Posted February 10, 2009 they look very good,, must be very easy to wash anyway or as you say, replace after use
Back garden fancier Posted February 14, 2009 Report Posted February 14, 2009 My mate did a similar thing with empty crisp boxes from a pub, the ones with the hole in the front. He then burns them when they've been used once.
Peckedhen Posted February 14, 2009 Report Posted February 14, 2009 I tried to use crisp boxes but I didn't feel they were very secure when stacked. These look just the ticket.
bigun Posted March 7, 2009 Report Posted March 7, 2009 have just put some of these in the stock loft great job and they are bigger than they look the only thing i have dun different is i cut a hole in the narrow end.
oldguy Posted March 7, 2009 Author Report Posted March 7, 2009 only had one problem a cock bird went in the wrong box and the mayhem cost 2 eggs that another pair had, but that can happen anytime in any best box system ive been cleaning them out with ease, i bought some spare boxes and have these prepared ready to swap over, then just hot spray the dirty boxes and leave those prepared for the next clean out. wait til i post a few pics of the latest cheaper alternative idea i had, its a typical yorkshire mans short arms, deep pockets thinking kev

REDCHEQHEN Posted March 7, 2009 Report Posted March 7, 2009 I bought some of these yesterday - and I'm almost embarassed to say - I actually bought them for errr - storage boxes (evil) Good value for money whatever you use them for - and your nest boxes are a great money saving idea oldguy
