This time of year sees some fanciers working on their lofts, there for I was wondering, how often do Basics members treat the outside of their lofts? and what do they use to do this?

 

Thank Youhttp://forum.pigeonbasics.org/public/style_emoticons/default/emoticon-0137-clapping.gif

 

I personally, treat my lofts every year, and this year I have used traditional creosotehttp://forum.pigeonbasics.org/public/style_emoticons/default/emoticon-0137-clapping.gif

i was forced to use exterior gloss, i recently built an extension that was built using another shed only we cut it down to the size we wanted. It had never seen a lick of paint since the day it was built after 6 coats of cuprinol it looked good that us untill it rained!!

 

the paint started to run off when it rained i also had a hellish time with leaking ship laps a good amount of sillicone later it still leaked i was close to pulling it down when i was advised to try exterior gloss it worked great and looks great aswell the downfall is it takes 18 hours to dry

 

i remember painting my grandads shed with cresote and oil! hard as hell to get cresote now they dont make it like they used to

I am thinking of using UPVC cladding this will hopefully mean i don't need to treat it.Hopefully will save some time so i can spend more with the birds

Just done mine last week,fronts done with Sadolin varnish backs and sides with polyurethane floor pain. :emoticon-0137-clapping::emoticon-0140-rofl::emoticon-0157-sun::egyptian:

 

Use Sadolin on ours - the other half spilt a full (just opened) tin on the lawn this summer - it killed the lawn :cry-blow:

They kept eating the lawn seed - it took several attempts to get it to take

 

so it's 10% lawn seed in the mix next year :emoticon-0136-giggle:
