arent they smart!!

[stantheman]

very smart they are josh, where did you see the pictures? look like they would be good for widow hens

[Guest grizzler]

just about the nicest kit boxes ive seen

[chris h]

looks good

[chris h]

how much would they cost to make

[bewted]

they would be good to race to if anyone got PFL

[Guest BIRD_MAN_JOHN]

very smart

[chris h]

they would need felted?

[Guest bigda]

looking  at them about £100 max  

[Roland]

Well one needs a mate that's a dab hand at building them. Once cut and painted well - wiould soon be messed up of course, then once cut to size etc. soon be put together. But are smart to say the least. If you though aren't any good at building / woodwork, but able to do similar then the end results would be the same as far as the birds are concerned.

[yorkie]

brilliant, have saved photos, will build one of these to fly my young tipplers to this year

[gulkie]

im a joiner

                there very well made . to start to build these u would need to be

skillful with wood,and a workshop ,or get someone to draw up plans with

sizes and a list of matials, if ur handy at all, i dont see why it cant be done.

realy depending on the wind it would be quite easy to get wet inside they would need to be in a sheltered area ?. :-/

price to get workshop to do this £150 try ur self do they have to be that elaberate.?   :)

when i get chance i will draw up some plans. I think there needs to be a few alterations made to stop rain etc.

 

Any joiners give me an idea what size timber, screws and ply etc they would use?

 

Thanks

[chris h]

1/2 inch ply and 2 /1 1/2 framing i think the roof would need a bigger overhang.who made the ones in the picture?

[Guest joshdonlan]

Been PMd asking for other photos, heres another type

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

[Guest joshdonlan]

they are the "American type" kit boxes, but i think theyre a great idea  

[chris h]

yeah they look a good idea

[holmsidelofts]

maybe fine for the usa as there weather is a lot dryer than ours, i personally wouldnd use them but if you are short on space why not.

[Guest joshdonlan]

i think with a bit of perspex with air holes cut out, good roof felt, guttering and good overhang they may work  

[yorkie]

what are the approximate overall dimensions?

[p charlton]

i am making one this week a 10foot buy 2 1/2 it will be made from wether boad and 3/2
