hi pigeonpost good to hear from you............i dont know what area you live in but have you looked on ebay ? i bought one of mine off there and its ok for what i paid for it, it depends on how much you are wanting to spend but some new lofts on ebay are not that dear.  |

| hi pigeonpost is this the loft ? if so its very nice......and a good size 8ft wide with corridor, not a bad price really for a loft like this, but it depends on how much you want to spend on one. http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Pigeon-loft-corridor-/200531392613?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_3&hash=item2eb09a3865 |

i think the lofts on ebay that you are looking at are free delivery within a cirtain radius, or a small fee if over the distance which isnt bad. |

| Must say nice loft Pigeonpost for the money, but can you make one yourself if you have time, you may be able to do one for half the cost mate |

| the loft you are looking at seems decent enough quality, it states the floor is exteria 15ml ply which is ok and the roof is some sort of boarding (cant remember exactly what it said ) the main woodwork isnt the heavy gauge tounge and grooved flooring, its cladding tounge and groove which is ok for a pigeon loft....ive used it before and theres nothing wrong with it, in fact i have some alterations to do on my own and will be using the same cladding, also it looks to have decent ventilation fitted.......... looks a bit like a blakes loft to me  |

I did have a quick look before we got this one, but it was a bargain compared to eBay, and included delivery in the price. Every loft is just too far away for us. |

The N.E.H.U race from Melton Mowbray 21/4/2012 was won by Peel bros of South Shields, they took 1st club 1st fed, also taking 2nd and 4th club and 15 of the 25 birds clocked in the club......well done Peel brothers.
