will do other windows but will make it wider

Pissing down certain class type factor attached maybe with that heading etc George    .

i'm trying to cover the wire windows this winter without using plastic and was not sure the wood i was using should be wide at the bottom it started raining and there was no rain in the loft

Maybe if the wind direction changes there etc George you will have as such my choice here would be to have your covering there at an angle type of thing, to then direct the pissing rain     away from your loft in general, hopefully.

it is 2" wide at the bottom think it may need to be 3-4" wide was also not sure how deep it should

made it 4" wide at the bottom David much better

im planning on making a flight on the front of mine george, ive some roof tiles that match the roof, but i need to buy the 2x2 framework yet, but with the price of wood and materials at the moment it will have to wait ..........plus i wanted to extend the loft, but ant justify the cost at the moment

think shower was too fast and they didn't like it

mine would love it george, ive got hanging baskets on the loft, and when i water them overspray goes near the windows and the birds love it .......

David I made mine out of 1" aluminium box section, bit more work but it was actually cheaper than using timber frame and never rots.

true colin aluminum would make a lovely framework, but how would i attach the wire or dowel to it......

David if you use weldmesh you just put a pop rivet through a mudwing/penny washer over the square mesh and into the frame, maybe 10 inch spacing depends on wire guage. Faster than nailing staples into timber too.

I'm going to modify my yb trap next few weeks and just priced aluminium box section at £23 for 5 metre length, be around £20 for 44 x 44mm PSE timber from somewhere like Wickes and it will be all shapes and full of knots too.

id like a couple of those aluminum traps / aviaries they advertise on the internet, but be very expensive i reckon .........
