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.

Welcome to the site pigeonpost

As David said, have a look on eBay, you can find some good deals on there

welcome to the site pigeon post enjoy

hi,there is one one ebay i quite like 18x8 3 sections with corridore 1400 quid,any feed back on it would be grateful.

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.

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

Looks like a nice loft for the money

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.

yes its a big help if they deliver it for you alex, and some errect them too dont they but as long as i could have it delivered id be happy enough..............where is Kempston

Yep ours came delivered on a pallet. Didn't take long for us to put it up.
Kempston's 50 miles up from London, East Anglia.

yes good way to do it, nice and solid...........i`ll have to build pillars as the ground gets waterlogged around my loft during winter and if it rains very heavy.

Ah, I see. We don't do bad here all rain soaks away fine.

Would say the best is to have the loft of the floor, 2 reasons ventilations plus if you have a dog they can run under the loft to help keep the cats away

But saying that i do know a few fanciers who's cat/cats are allowed in there lofts and also helps keep other cats away

my cats always over at my loft don, she follows me over when i go to feed up and sits outside the door while im sat in with the birds....she does this all the time im feeding the birds in four compartments and makes no attempt to harm them, i wouldnt trust her on her own if they are out but even when they are in the garden pecking in the grass as long as im there she doesnt bother them.

Must say the fanciers who have cats say they only have tom cats, but to me they all look the same

all fury with four legs don..................
