fletch Posted November 1, 2010 Report Share Posted November 1, 2010 I've got 3 widowhood sections 8 boxes in each, corridor runs through the front wen the doors are shut to each section the sections are about 6 x 3 we have 3 sections mate and to be honest mate that 6x 3 is plenty enough as the cocks should be resting in there boxes so dont need that much room but 8 in there is great Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
