No problem buddy, it’s been fun so far and should work great for when I get the new racers in about 2 months.

No snow in my videos, I moved to SC to get away from the snow!

[@l.loganboswell1761]

Nice loft. I'm planning on building a loft and getting homers when I get fully retired.

[@Rocky.Ridge.Pigeons]

Sounds like a good plan my friend glad you like the Loft

[@OnTheGoLoft]

Beautiful Job Brother... Sky light looks hot and not one screw in it, nice. Perfect floor, I have a kit box like that , hardly scrape it. I would like to the screen ya put up.

[@Rocky.Ridge.Pigeons]

Thanks, I am just trying to think of what will be best for them. Not sure what you mean by screen I put up? thanks for the comment and I will try to answer your screen question.

[@OnTheGoLoft]

@@Rocky.Ridge.Pigeons Are you going to attach a screen to it it so they can come out Drink water or just hang out outside?

[@Rocky.Ridge.Pigeons]

Yes definitely there will be an outside part so they can sun themselves and so on. I will be making that soon.

Oh wow....you mean fry pigeon bro. Thanks for posting the unfinished work. Can't wait to see when its finish.

[@Rocky.Ridge.Pigeons]

Thanks my friend, I can't wait til it's finished either, But there is always something to do! It keeps things interesting.

[@jaylee2016]

@@Rocky.Ridge.Pigeons Am pretty amazed at the way the roof turned out.

[@Rocky.Ridge.Pigeons]

It hasn't stopped downpouring for 2 hours and no leaks. It should work fine.

[@SimplyBasics]

Looks nice!! Cant wait to see the final build!!

[@Rocky.Ridge.Pigeons]

There is a part 3 video. and I have some other videos on the loft and fixtures. Thanks and enjoy!

[@SimplyBasics]

@@Rocky.Ridge.Pigeons hi yes.. found it right after my comment. it auto played the next video!!

[@Rocky.Ridge.Pigeons]

Okay 👌

[@t-cpn7867]

What type of material do you use as walls? It looks very nice, is it very durable against water, wind? Very nice loft !

[@Rocky.Ridge.Pigeons]

It is a siding and sheathing all in one. It seems to last very well. But I always give an extra coat of paint

[@shah_ji312]

Hi sir can you suggest me best plywood for making pigeon loft , like waterproof or heatproof any suggestions please

[@shoaibsoomro702]

Nice roof material use

[@Rocky.Ridge.Pigeons]

It's still in great shape. Very easy to use and works great 👍

[@sergey3928]

👍👍👍

[@stephenbru]

What are the dimensions of this loft?..are you going to divide it into 3 section??..Great Job!!

[@Rocky.Ridge.Pigeons]

It’s just divided into two sections right now. But it’s mainly going to be for breeding. Then stock loft after that season. It is 8 x 12 - my plans always are changing haha 😁

[@eltonroberts8817]

Nice job...what kind of dogs do you raise?

[@Rocky.Ridge.Pigeons]

Hey Elton, I only raise high-quality German Shepherd dogs.

[@Phokings]

How did the roof hold up to wind?

[@Rocky.Ridge.Pigeons]

No problems so far, thanks for asking 👍

[@user-ii7ss3os6h]

Is it marine ply

[@forestman2382]

how high do you need to raise the loft off the ground? what type of foundation do you use? cannot rats chew holes in the wood?

[@Rocky.Ridge.Pigeons]

Hey forest man, I just put the loft high enough so that I can rake underneath it. The foundation is a crushed stone compacted and cinderblocks on top. I haven’t seen any signs of rats trying to chew their way in. Thanks for watching and you can check out the video before that one where I show the foundation.

[@MythDealer]

What’s the cost you think for a loft that size

[@Rocky.Ridge.Pigeons]

Hi, I have about 1500.00 into this one. Which I thought was pretty good considering a shed that size start at 3500.00 they you have to start converting it to fit you needs. Great question, thanks.

[@MythDealer]

Very Nice, Im trying to get started with like 500-800 soon

[@Rocky.Ridge.Pigeons]

@@MythDealer There is so many ways to save money doing this kind of thing especially if you have access to some used materials or leftover materials. This price is for buying all the materials new. Best of luck. Let me know how you do.

[@fueyang1354]

Did you need any layers under the roll roofing?

[@Rocky.Ridge.Pigeons]

Fue Yang No it’s sticks down right to the plywood and will not move.

[@fueyang1354]

@@Rocky.Ridge.Pigeons thanks man. Appreciate the help.

[@rongaines1073]

How Thick is that skylight to keep rain or some type of degree to fall on to crack it or damage it in someway

[@Rocky.Ridge.Pigeons]

IT'S ABOUT 3/8 INCH THICK AND IT IS MADE FOR THAT PURPOSE. I HAVE ONE IN MY OTHER LOFT FOR 2.5 YEARS AND IT IS DOING GREAT STILL.

[@rongaines1073]

Will that floor be able to carry your weight

[@Rocky.Ridge.Pigeons]

THE FLOOR IS STRONG ENOUGH TO CARRY MY WEIGHT. THANKS FOR ASKING 👍

[@duncanosborne4469]

What racing club if you do race in, do belong to, my fiancee is in nc and we are planning to live together in nc, and I want too keep pigeons I've got some roller birds here they were gifted but always had an interest in racing, by the way I'm from the UK

[@Rocky.Ridge.Pigeons]

I join the Spartanburg open club. It is in northern South Carolina. I certainly do enjoy my roller pigeons but like you I took an interest in the racers and it is quite a time investment. Training is ongoing every day. I hope it works out for you and you get some great birds

[@americanbirdspigeon2153]

Wow

How do you get a little loft to clean the loft?I like everything about it but doesn’t your feces build up under the law how do you clean that

[@Rocky.Ridge.Pigeons]

I Just rake underneath about once a year and a little scraping on the inside at the bottom is all it takes

[@fauizmahmood40]

Greetings from Holland, can you advice me how to keep cats away from my pigeons, as we have lots of house/stray cats in Holland, I do want my pigeons to be free out side in loft in my back yard, and they be free to come and go when they wish. Thank you.

[@Rocky.Ridge.Pigeons]

I’m not sure my friend I never had that problem. The cats that are wild around here stay far away from us. Wish you best of luck.
