Floor grills

[Guest joshdonlan]

Got the old fella to help me knock up 4 floor grills today made from 1" x 1" and 40mm x 40mm cost under £10 to fit 8ftx 3ft section.

 

Question: Do you put any litter at all under the grills? A thin layer of easybed, or loft white, or just let the droppings build up?

 

Thanks

I would put a mix of sharp sand and lime under them if it were me.  Any chance of a photo of the finished article josh as i was thinkin of makin some myself.  Thanks

any sort of floor dressings would be spot on easy then to clean just lift grills scrap floor litter up put new layer down then put grill back down have you lifted the grills off the floor or just put them onto of the loft floor

Thanks guys. They are only 2 inches off the loft floor, but will keep birds clean during the week untill i get chance at the weekend to lift them up and clean them. I will take some photos in the morning. Vey easy to make. The local timber yard has good prices 82p per length 40mm x 40mm 8foot long. Im also going to make an aviary out of the stuff. Got some free mesh panels 8foot tall, so just the job

[Guest joshdonlan]
