yes, simply build a false floor under the sputnik base, and fit the pad in there.

i built mine on top of the base into a false floor with a bobwire back

[Guest joshdonlan]

any photos please? can you still let the birds out of the sputnik?

 

I was thinking of fitting a board just below the drop holes with bobs behind it, but leaving the bottom half of the trap open, so I can still let them out through it, but just dont know how to go about it.

 

Cheers

just lift trap up an inch build a draw where ets can slide in screw either edge of draw then fix trap on top simples

[Guest joshdonlan]

you need bob wires though Mark, so not as simple as that as I want to let the birds out of the trap as well

in past i've made a rear door simple enough Josh

yes something like that is how I want it. How did it work?

like I said that was my first attempt your better building a draw 2 batons either side say 2inch wide x 1 inch thick and a baton at the rear then sandwich the 3 batons with think ply making a draw with an opening where the front of the base of where your trap is to be screw the two front batons to your draw then add your trap above your ets then is always protected

you've lost me Mark lol, are you saying put the pad underneath the base of the trap?

 

I will be sandwiching the pad between 2 pieces of ply, and use aluminium channel, but cant think of how to fix it into the sputnik?

 

I want/need it in a similar position to your photo, so the birds can go out underneath the pad and then trap back over the pad.

the window or hole where your going to have a trap will have a baton a fix the draw through the ply 2x1 at the front edge where you have the opening for the ets draw like a n shape then fix yer trap on top

you probably can't see it but the wire on the photo is in the draw of the box , only problem with the previous design was they took too much time entering I changed it to the bottom like i said I've now removed the sputniks and am building my own mini aviaries
