| frost over night here and still cold today, drinkers not frozen up yet but getting a bit of condensation on the inside of the roof in the stock shed........it does this every year when it gets cold and freezes up when its freezing, not sure why but it doesnt seem to bother the birds health wise (i think) |

We get the same problem here david.with metal box profile sheeting above the birds heads and no false ceiling the breath of the birds hit the underside of the roofsheets and with the outside colder you get the condensation,and if cold enough,ice can form.its not clever.poor basic loft management on my part. |

| i have tiles on my loft they retain the heat in summer but boy they do get very cold in the winter
but the birds are fine with it , tin sheets are fine as long as you have felt undereath . |

same thing happens with the plastic corragated sheeting you just got to put a sheet of polcarbanate under it that sorts it out sean |
