I used to keep my pigeons in a brick built shed but the bricks used to work like a storage heater and the loft got roasting hot in the summer even well into the night.
the shed is at the back of my garden, and I cant open the back up for ventilation as it backs on to garages and some people leave their cars running whilst working on them and the loft would fill up with fumes.
I'm starting up again and don't know whether to try to put more ventilation in the front of the brick shed or save up and build a wooden one a bit closer to the house, but moneys very tight at the moment.
can anyone that's had wooden and brick sheds give me any pros and cons for both.
Thanks

hi mate i would be thinking of air bricks they are not expensive, or drill a load of holes, or install an extraction fan, if you have no lecky use a car battery, and power it up with a small solar panel, hope this helps, theres always a way ?.cheers

can you install a small chimney to the roof of the brick shed Question also edgies idea of a few air bricks is a good one but the chimney would help pull air through the vents or you could even install air bricks at the bottom front and a few at the top back atb

Boosey !!!!!!! in relation to the chimney etc in the roof, many flyers here use what I would call whirly birds in the roofs. They allow any heat to escape 24/7 & when the wind blows they circulate drawing more heat /dust out of the lofts etc. Could be a possibility if you have such a thing over there. cheers

I have a loft made of both blocks and wood. The floor is concrete and I blocked up 4ft at the back and sides, and 3ft in the front, then a wooden structure fitted on top. It has a tiled roof on the A frames.
I think this is better than wood or brick only, it is totally vermin proof as nothing goes under it and nothing can chew its way in, it has perfect ventilation and isn't too hot or cool, the temp inside is down to you whatever its made of, If you position your vents correctly and either fit as suggested a fan if it gets too hot in mid summer or a chimney. I must admit the tiled roof lets in and out the warm air, but I did have a fan in the corridor this year all day when it was boiling hot but that's the first time I have ever done this.

OS !!!!!!!, I won all mine on the lofts Smile Smile My club never gave out trophys when someone won a race etc unless they prefered one. Members could choose what ever they liked, as long as it was presented back to them at the presentation day. It was quite good lol! lol! lol! but you did some weird trophy's as such, type of thing. But everybody was happy at the end of the day, so that was good. cheers

Sadly !!!!!!! that was all in the past OS Smile Smile we would send back then a thousand plus pigeons in a club race & think nothing of it etc. Today here, like most clubs now there thankful, if they can get 200 plus birds in a race to start the season.
Now !!!!!! a bit of useless information for everyone lol! lol! lol! here. My mate, the little fat bloke Smile Smile  is in a special race tomorrow. called the Eureka cup, 375 miles for him, 224 birds to be released I was told & the flyers in it cover an area of 10,000 square miles. "Let the fun begin". cheers
