| could stain it which would look nice, but also if it was felted over you would be sure it was waterproof more or less.........even lofts which are regularly treated let a small amount of moisture/wet in in the bad weather so im told.......... weather you paint or stain it as long as it is done thouroughly it should be ok, its just what you prefer really which you think looks nice....  |

would recommend covering the sides and back with hardboard , soak the hardboard before you fit it then screw 2x1 over the joints and centre to hold it back when it dry,s it will pull tight back it will put years on your loft beleive me |

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.
