    hi ivlasked like the lay out, looks like some of the sections will be 5ft square
    let us know if there is enough room when the birds are in. also what height is the
    floor of the ground as my last loft was not high enough and vermin got in
    i have been advised to put mesh wire down and then the floor on top and this
    stop them has anyone else any advice on this problem

    just a bit of advice when laying down breeze blocks make sure you put some dps damp proof on
    top of the blocks stops the damp rising through the blocks in to the wood floor .
