12X6 Loft

[pether2907]

Is there any sites with diagrams/layouts for a 12x6 loft?

[showman]

What were you thinking of doing Andy.....building yourself or buying finished loft ?

[pether2907]

definitely finished

[showman]

Here's a few manufacturers you could take a look at Andy. They all have websites, so you can peruse at leisure.

 

Ecco Sheds & Lofts,Derbyshire

Petron Lofts,West Yorks

Barnsley Lofts,Selby

Clydesdale Timber Products, Derbyshire

Tranter Lofts, Stourbridge

 

Personally,I don't have experience of any of them, but others on the site may be able to help give info or experience when dealing with them.

 

Anyhow, take a look through the websites, and it may give you some ideas as to what you would want.

 

Hope this helps.

 

Paul.

the corridor is only 5ft out of 13ft also how do you not have a stock room? appreciate the advice though fella!!

How many birds do you envisage the YB section holding ?

[pether2907]

Good question, obviously 12prs would equal 24 babies at a absolute maximum thats if i had 12prs!

 

so i would like it to hold 24 ybs until my selection has been picked

So, Andy, let's add things up.

12 pairs stock birds = 24 pigeons

12 pairs old birds = 24 "

24 youngsters = 24 "

Total = 72 pigeons (possible)

 

I like to try and impliment W.E.Barkers theory on 'bird space'. Using this you would have enough room for approx. 20 pigeons in a 12 x 6 loft. I have always believed his formula was designed to optomise the total well being of his pigeons. I appreciate you may be confined to available space for your new loft.....12 x 6 is not a problem but I would honestly take a look at your internal layout, and possibly approach it from the angle of 'total well being' JMO.

thank you Paul for your input in that respect how would you set out a 12x 6?
