Looks sound,  have you put the bits that close the bobs in one,  i used to make seperate boards to close each section of bobs,  using 6mm ply, wooden washing pegs, and 1nch batton so you can let each bird in on its own so that they are not locked in for ages and get stressed

good job

and i would put a spar across the front under the landing board

so that when the birds drop in they cant turn and come out the front underneath

as i think the gaps a bit big

made a good job, only comment would be the landing board looks slippery and may put birds off from landing on it directly!

Hi dave there is a spar on hinges in the pic it only leaces a 2 or so inch gap when closed tho it looks bigger in the pics

pjc the wood has like a tread plate pattern on top its smooth on 1 side and rough on the other its the stuff they use on trailers all the rough sides are where the birds will land

looks good

another reason for the spar is to stop wild birds getting into your loft

I have to say that I like these speed traps. To make them work really well, put an internal landing board just below the level of the trap. Construct it with an edging so that seed can not spill off it. Train your birds to trap onto the inside board and you will be amazed at how quickly you can clock them. I could clock as quickly as with ETS. and as long as you train them properly they will not turn in the trap and you will go on to sicken your Clubmates. And the bonus is that you do not need to scare the living daylights out of the birds and ruin them for future races.

Thanks for the tip owen

[Guest joshdonlan]

Yes it looks great   haha my smiles work   ;D > :'( :X ??) : :K) 8) :B :-/ lool

[mark croker]

yeah thats what im going to do how does the washing peg work

 

 

Glue two wooden pegs on per hole, i like to use mitre fast,  then glue on a square of 6mm ply with 1x1 batton on the end, so as you open the peg the batton comes away from the bobs and lets the bird enter, sorry i dont know how better to explain, hope that helps  

 

and my smilies work
