[chris h]

muttly is the man to spek to but hes not a member now i could pm you his no

 

whys he not a member now

[Guest frank dooman]

he didnt want to upset anyone i think with his selling

[gulkie]

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

frame 2x2 dressed pine

marine ply 1/2 "

mineral felt for roof

galvinised hinges x bolts

i would rather see the pitch of the roof run back,

and the ventilation top & bottom

i think the 2nd lot are to closed in ,apart from that stunning boxes.

u have opened a can of worms ,i can assure u the tool boxes will be

out when they all return from blackpool ;)

  ps   treat all wood with a good sealant[cuprinol ect]

                                                                            good luck

tidy kit boxes think only alterations i would want to see if a mesch bottom and perhaps a small chimley on top and perspex strip on roof to let light in then no reason birds wouldnt stay healthy

[Guest BRYANBROCK]

Brilliant idea they would be good for stock birds any idea what size they are ????   :)

[Guest joshdonlan]

around 4 x 4 x 3 foot, but you can adjust the sizes slighty depending on preference

Think great.... only concern would be Air circulation and how many one intends to house in them.

My sections are about half as big again. House between 12 and 16 pairs. But then the air is constantly travelling through, around and out.

[Guest joshdonlan]

would house around 20 birds in a kit box. Would have a mesh door open during the day for ventilation

[Guest joshdonlan]

This idea with the double door, 1 mesh, 1 solid

cracking mate think i might make a couple for me hens or better still get me mate to make them ;D ;D ;D

[Guest joshdonlan]

get him make me some if they are any good lol  ;D

[demolition man]

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.?   :)

 

LOOK LIKE THERES SPIKES IN THE GROUND DO YOU RECKON THE WIND WILL STILL BLOW THEM OVER?

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

[Guest joshdonlan]

Liked the idea of this origionally, but would need to be under cover  :-/ Didnt like the price either

i am starting mine 2mo to race my young birds to i will post some pics up how many young birds will a 10foot long buy 2 1/2 wide and just over 4foot high will hold

[Guest joshdonlan]

If they were rollers would fit 20-25 in as for racers. 15  :-/

[p charlton]

i am having 16 so thats fine

[Guest joshdonlan]

If it works you can always make another  ;D

[Guest joshdonlan]

Yes mate look at the widowhood hen box, thats got 24 perches and id say size volume was similar

[owen101]

if they work mate i mite see if they work

if they do you could make another

but will see how i go first

[p charlton]

No I only have them for pleasure, Chick wants to get get get rid of all the fancy etc so we can concentrate on the racers and cut back to one loft, I am keeping my Birmingham rollers, I have 20 pure whites, they don't roll as they should are over fed but I will be controlling that this year and see how good they are, I also have a pair of Irish tumblers
