High Quality softwood construction, using deep rebate shiplap cladding and framing, that is dip treated during build. This ensures that the houses are strong and well protected against the wonderful British weather.
All roofs are clad with 'Onduline' commercial corrugated sheet made from bitumen saturated organic fibre. It has the advantages of not creating condensation problems. Unlike felt roofs it does not encourage red mite.
Those units without entrance doors have hinged roofs for easy access and cleaning. These are sheet timber with attached Onduline, hinged at the front of the houses. This allows easy and full access into the house below to inspect / handle the birds or for cleaning out.
Units that have entrance doors have Onduline directly fixed to the roof with rafters as required, for perfect natural ventilation and avoidance of red mite. No roofing felt is used anywhere.
Roosting bars are fitted.
Access for all livestock is via a pop hole with a sliding door, which are compatible with automatic door openers and mean that they do not get covered in muck.
Nestboxes are designed to make cleaning out very effective and are covered in a composite plastic roof with a unique hinge mechanism.
High level ventilation is provided on all units plus additional adjustable vents on larger units.
All units are supplied with a solid plywood floor, to provide ample area for bedding to help dry birds and protect them from sores. For appropriate units there is an option to have a slide out floor - this allows you to clean out more easily. On some units this slide out floor is standard.
25mm square 16 gauge heavy mesh is used on all runs [13mm in some] which gives much greater predator protection and inherent strength to the structure. Chicken wire rots out quickly.
The finished colour of the units is 'nut' brown, - this is the only thing you may wish to refresh over the years you have your house if you live in an area like ourselves where the dye in the finsih fades due to sunlight.
All fixtures and fittings are galvanised or plated.
All units are sectional and delivered flat packed with screws [bolts] provided for easy assembly. Most screws are already in place. In each panel the fiddly bits are already fitted enabling simple construction.
