How many of you have built your own loft and how many have bought there lofts in from manufacturers or maybe have both.pics please

I Built my own ,but by the time I had finished it probably cost me more than buying one but I got a lot of pleasure out of making it.

i looks good steve.whats it made with

[chris h]

heres the one i made

but pulled it down and replaced it with this one

[Steve Shaw]

Chris I used 3 x 2 scant for framework at 2 foot centres, 1/2 inch plywood for floor, roof ans sides and back and 5 inch matchboard on front, you wouldn't believe how many nails and screws you go through, then felt cuprinol etc, that's where a lot of the cost goes

Old one looks good, new one looks very smart who made it. Looks like your increasing your team to fill it

Hi mate.

we build our, just finishing our youngbird loft for next year, it is 25 foot long, 6 foot wide, 3 compartments. it was orignally 2 lofts that we moved and joined together, it looks totally different now since the photos below. below are some photos of the ongoing work. I will update some more pictures tomorrow as we have just added the 2nd tier roof on top of the one you see in the pictures ( ronnie williamson style ). That was put on today, a lot of work but will improve ventillation no end. We have also added 3 low down vents on the front since these pictures were taken. we plan on racing 80+ youngsters next year. we have another loft behind this one, which is our widowhood loft and that measures 25 foot also.

Hi . I had to make a plan to have a loft up & going on short notice , after breaking partnership and I had to leave the built lofts behind & also sitting with stock birds at hand .

I had a 25 x 25 sq ft Wendy house which I converted into a four section loft & is quite happy with the results . It took a lot of time as I am working long hours and had mainly night times to work on the loft .

 

I,m planning to extent the breeding loft so I can separate the excess cocks from the breeding section as I did with the hens .

Well done Phillip, sounds a lot of hard work and awkward hours went into that build

[rasbull]

This is the loft I built. Far more satisfying than buying one.
