[pigeonpete]

this is the pic ;D ;D

 

cracking loft karl!!

[wullie semple]

im just building one smiler to this and it will cost me about  250 pound to build and about 1 weeks work  it will be put up the end of this month  

 

karel you would have to be getting the wood cheap to build it for £250 there is no way you could build it for that if you paid the correct price for the material i would be asking for £250 just to build it

[BLACK W F]

it depends who you know i got a mate supplied best 3/4 ply 8x4  sheets  for sweet fa  also 4x2 3x2   2x2  felt  and 1/2  ply for the boxes  he would not take nothing but i made him take £50 for a drink and he still did not want that he even delivered to my door  

built aprox  22ftx 8 ft  also   16ft x 4 ft stock loft  dont get no better than that

Be ever so cautious with Parkhall lofts !!

 

I have one that constantly lets in from the roof .

The mineral felt was put on by parkhall in the rain and it warped ..My loft gets soaking in the corners at either end of the loft ..

It is 28ft X 8ft and cost me £2400.00 ...4 sections ..

I am raising the loft , and having to re-roof it at the end of september .

My corridor gets wetter every time it rains ..as more rain falls ,the felt gets more brittle .

 

I have just had a 12x 6 stock shed and aviary erected with the help from friends from this forum and it's the dogs B******S.

Cost me next to Now't and it is not an eyesore either !

 

You could spend a lot more sensible than go to these people and pay a fortune for something an ordinary man could build in a weekend for half a days wages ..

 

Just my opinion.

if your gonna have a loft thats dry then cover the felt with tin sheets/box profile even if 2nd hand,this will save you years of worry over the damp .dont think that felt is good enough...get it covered!!!.ive been in the building trade for many years and ive seen some horror stories with flat/sloping roof,s covered in felt.

 

also treat the wood when you make the framework for the floor.

Thanks for that mate, just asked them for a quote and waiting on them to come back, it looks like they base their price on where you live as well.  Don't have the time to build one or the space and with the weather stopping and starting it would take an age.  Did you build the 12x6 yourself?

jargre get some one to get you ply 8x4 sheets and a joiner he will put it up in a day cost you sweeties if you know the right guys

[BLACK W F]

i dont know whats wrong with most of you guys theres a credit crunch theres plenty good guys out of work  goto the demolition sites youll get good deals on reclaimed timber try some of the gaffers on building sites most will do a deal theres joiners out of work they will biuld you a good loft for a few pounds   straight cash speaks

[stevebelbin]

Nothing better than building your own, mind I spent a fortune on mine, it probably would have been cheaper getting one from Parkhalls haha! Mine is just stood collecting dust and when I move out will probably be used as someone potting shed :-(!!

David the loft i had from was the same, when it rained my Ybs would bath in the flow of water!! The loft roof was so thin the felt nails went right thru and would not hold in. One of the other problems was i had to put it together myself, and the shed at the front was 2 inches too small so i had to put a bit of 2 x 2  under the roof to stop it sagging. How they have the cheek to put Alberts loft on their site amazes me the way he was treated!

 

The guy was a total a-hole to deal with and put the phone down on me a couple of times, needless to say we had a great topic of conversation the next time in Blackpool, it cost him a few customers i think, but they had a lucky escape IMO.

Cheers Alun, going to get a costing of the materials today and see if the yard will cut boards to size as that's the biggest problem because lofts are on mountain side with no room for working.  Can put them together easy enough but cutting them 8x4's isn't easy with no room.   I know you can get tanalized wood from these yards which is pressure treated for rot so Strappers tip is not a worry, was also thinking of the corrugated fibreglass roofing as an option if I can get it.

 

 

[Guest karl adams]

some places will not cut tanalized  timber as it causes health problems so can it cause harm to your birds  :-/ :-/ :-/

  Never knew that Karl, thanks, I'm off down the shed-makers now and going to do some work on what is best, I love the style of yours, its absolutely stunning, great joinery, awesome loft.   Tell me, in your opinion what's the minimum width of aviary you'd put on a stock loft 12x6?

 

Cheers.  

[BLACK W F]

jargre be careful with  the roof as that gear is good for the roof but i would put a timber roof on first and felt it as that stuff swets and condinsation  

[Guest BRYANBROCK]

JOKING ASIDE  MY FREIND I RECENTLY BUILT  SORRY FREIND OF MINE BUILT 20 FOOT BY 8 FOOT LOFT 2 OF THEM AND IT COST ME THE GUTS OF 4000 POUNDS AND YOU SAY YOU BUILT FOR 250 POUNDS AND YOU USED 30 SHEETS OF PLYWOOD   EVEN AT £20 PER SHEET WORKS OUT AT £600 WITHOUT THE FRAME WORK YOU MUST HAVE FREINDS IN HIGH PLACES (shrug)(shrug)(shrug)(shrug)

Thanks Alun, just came from the local builders who said that could happen.  I told them I wasn't happy with the grade of felt they use and they said they can upgrade that to green felt?  Much thicker than the norm but dearer of course.      That company mentioned above came back with an estimate and it was a grand and a bit just for a 12x6 twice as much as a local chippie firm will do it for, guess who I'll use.       

 

Thanks
