OLDYELLOW Posted September 30, 2011 Author Report Posted September 30, 2011 Looking to fit some perspex panels to the roof of the both lofts and incorporate vents at the same time. I feel the loft is too stuffy, and not bright enough. I,ll get some photos in due course. Great stuff take photos before and after

OLDYELLOW Posted September 30, 2011 Author Report Posted September 30, 2011 do you think for your loft and location that its better now ,appears to be more air and light in above waist height ?location better = no definitely not 50 miles south then top location lol :emoticon-0136-giggle: , I've more natural light which to me is good , air seems to have improved , if i want i can add floor vents later on but going to see how well it works next year before any other alterations ( other than the mini aviaries )
