Loft base construction

[chichichi]

we do the same as phil,, what we do is build breeze block pillers and then buy railway sleepers.. the loft sits on them.. the sleepers are normally 8ft,, so the loft is 6ft and then we add a 3ft aviery to it.We do need some small timber to support the end of the aviery.. . the railway sleepers will last forever and don't cost the earth.. I think we paid �9 each  for ours,, but a bit more now I expect..

 

this loft is on 5 railway sleepers.. been there for 6 years and many more we hope..You can see the thickness of the sleeper behind the well and wheel barrow..

 

 

goodluck
