Ventalation

Ian is that because they are run electrical or just the material they are made out of
Ken

no its the material they work of wind only no electric

ian, with them being tall will it suck the air up through them ?

yes they pull no bother

yes ian, it will funell the air up and draw it out wont it......great idea, how did you decide on this....seen another loft or just got the idea yourself ?

seen them before on other lofts

right ian, i think they are excellent.......bet you cant smell pigeons in the loft can you ian ?

no you cant change vthe air flow all the time

Sorry about the wait, here are my pics










Any questions, what do you think?

Hi fred now i see what you were saying about the 18 inch drop, and how you open and close the retectable ceiling at the front, i noticed at the back above the boxes you have airvents there, so i take the back is retractable as well to help the air circulate
Ken

the only thing i would do fred is put some vents at the bottom so you get the fresh air through the bottom and out the top giver you a constant air flow only my opinion tho

Hi Ken,
I know they look like vents, but they're not, its just what I had to hand to block the top of the boxes

Thanks for your thoughts Ian, but the airflow is perfect now, there is a small amount of air getting in the stall traps, but it is only small

Hi fred so i would take it the air which comes in via the spuknics circulate the airflow, so with all the air entering the loft via the front, for it to circulate they willbe smaller vents at the rear, so you have a inlet and outlet,so its down to presure which circulates the air
Ken

hi fred, notice you have an amber flashing light on your loft roof.....is this to deter hawks? if so do you think this helps......thanks.

Hi David

I had hawk trouble 3 years on the spin, last year was the first time with the beacon, and never had any trouble, so yes I do think it helps

regards

fred

as you can see by my loft on the left fresh air go in at the vents at the bottom of my loft and out of vents at the top back of my loft.

hi mark, your system is more or less the same as mine will be when i manage to fit the vents to the front of my loft........should be good enough i hope.

hi fred, ive been troubled by hawks over the last couple of years and have seen quite a few theories for keeping the pigeons safe.....as you have yourself the beacon, an imitation owl and also c.d.s, hanging from the surrounding trees etc which blow in the wind and dazle the hawk....have also heard a few more remadies. have you tried any of these other methods before you decided the flashing beacon was best ?

Hi Fred the way you have your ventilation looks good to me plenty of air with movement

As long as you can not smell pigeons then the loft is spot on

would too much venitation cause draughts though ?

Yes your correct there David

i would suppose putting ybs on darkness would cause a few problems with the ventilation, so would it need to be altered to take closing the loft up into account ?

Yes it would
