PIGEON LOFT:3 Steps You Can’t Forget in Building One! by Andre Banks

Let me ask you this question. Did you know that there are 3 steps in building your pigeon loft that you cannot forget? You’ll be surprise to discover that many newcomers forget these three steps and their building ideas never really take shape. This does not have to be the case since the steps are so simple in nature and are many times overlooked. So what are the steps?

Step 1: Decide first hand how much money you are willing to spend and stay to budget.

In beginning any building project it is crucial to keep costs to budget projections. Building a pigeon loft is no different then any other construction project. It needs to be taken seriously. Without a plan on how much money you are able to devote to your pigeon loft and sticking to that amount you will never get your hobby off the ground. The costs should be divided into three areas: Materials for construction, secondary items for pigeon needs and growth, and insulation costs. These costs may vary on your size and construction of your loft so be mindful that larger may not always be feasible at first.

Step 2: Start small and know the building code of your state.

To many times newcomers get large ideas but don’t take into consideration that starting small is ideal. Since the building of your loft has to be up to code measurements for your state its best to begin small. In the case of your loft not meeting state requirements it’s easier to correct code errors in smaller lofts. As a rule of thumb 6m is a good starting size and should be aligned with most state codes. It also goes without saying checking with your neighbors and discussing your building plans would be ideal. You would hate to have your building plans shut down when a simple conversation could suffice.

Step 3: Building of your loft should be done in sections.

No matter how much money you have in your budget to spend your loft should be built in sections. If you are starting small as I suggested in step 2 your first loft may just be one room with next boxes, some perches, food trays and water hopper. This would be defined as your main section. The next section can consist of putting in a partition wall in. Again this is just basics but it expresses perfectly the idea of sections. Section building allows you the ease of developing bigger in the future if you choose to. It also provides an added bonus of being easier to maintain.

Now please pay close attention:
