kirky Posted January 5, 2011 Report Posted January 5, 2011 final price drop £1600 or i will keep 18ft and make 2 ends and sell it smaller cheersthink it would be better to make 2 end as you say as it is a bit big for most gardens. think the size is putting people off.

Fly_caster Posted April 15, 2011 Report Posted April 15, 2011 Thx guys - thought it might be of interest
OLDYELLOW Posted April 15, 2011 Report Posted April 15, 2011 Thx guys - thought it might be of interest have you got it on concreted drainage pipes ????
Fly_caster Posted April 15, 2011 Report Posted April 15, 2011 have you got it on concreted drainage pipes ???? Yes, the loft sits upon a 40' x 12' "pier" foundation. 40' x 8' for the loft and the 40' x 4' for the front walkway. I dug 18 ( 6 x 3 ) 2' x 2' x 1' holes which were filled with concrete, when they were setting, I cut 6" drainage pipes to the level, sank them into the holes and filled them with concrete too. Once filled, I then inserted one end of a steel strap and allowed the concrete to cure. Once cured, I placed a wooden sub floor of 9" x 3" scaffolding boards, on edge, upon the piers and completed the strapping, looping the straps over the sub floor and reattachhing them to the sides of the piers with masonry nails. Really solid job - needs to be as we get some serious winds here in the winter. I have documented the entire relocation and rebuild on the following thread on P1geon Ch4t... There are over 80 photo's and a diary included. http://www.pigeon-chat.com/viewtopic.php?f=72&t=51789 Hope this helps and answers your query. Cheers, steve

geordie1234 Posted May 3, 2011 Report Posted May 3, 2011 Mate you have a cracking set up you should be proud of what you have put together it must have been really hard work and a headache with all the transportation of the lofts but looks like you hard work has paid off ATB George
Roland Posted May 8, 2011 Report Posted May 8, 2011 Don't see much wrong with that sett up. I'd be pleased as punch, and as prounds as... Well done steve.
