Being as the front is dowelled, am I likely to get rain driving into the loft....?

In short yes, it all depends which direction rain is coming from, my roof is the same as yours and I do mine faces westDiamond Dave wrote: Wed Sep 04, 2024 7:57 am Being as the front is dowelled, am I likely to get rain driving into the loft....?

Ah, never though of that NeilA. Thought a dowelled front would be quite healthy for the birds but there are so many other things to think of.NeilA wrote: Wed Sep 04, 2024 8:21 amLooks a de ent length overhang but I think on certain winds you may still get rainDiamond Dave wrote: Wed Sep 04, 2024 7:57 am Being as the front is dowelled, am I likely to get rain driving into the loft....?
Could small wildbirds or even rodents get through the gaps
The guy that I got the loft from was a good flyer and he just had the dowelled frontage.....?

Thanks Buster - does it bother you or is it not that often that you need to worry about it.Buster121 wrote: Wed Sep 04, 2024 1:34 pmIn short yes, it all depends which direction rain is coming from, my roof is the same as yours and I do mine faces westDiamond Dave wrote: Wed Sep 04, 2024 7:57 am Being as the front is dowelled, am I likely to get rain driving into the loft....?

I'd wire mesh the inside to stop sparrows coming in. This is my stock loft. It has a lift up cover when raining.Diamond Dave wrote: Wed Sep 04, 2024 3:27 pmAh, never though of that NeilA.

Most days that it rains I have to dry loft out, my loft does have doors that I have to close and cover top trapsDiamond Dave wrote: Wed Sep 04, 2024 3:30 pmThanks Buster - does it bother you or is it not that often that you need to worry about it.Buster121 wrote: Wed Sep 04, 2024 1:34 pmIn short yes, it all depends which direction rain is coming from, my roof is the same as yours and I do mine faces westDiamond Dave wrote: Wed Sep 04, 2024 7:57 am Being as the front is dowelled, am I likely to get rain driving into the loft....?

I like to have a deep litter in the YB side so it would be a problem if its constantly getting wet.
I cant do anything about it anyway now, it is what it is and I shall have to adapt to whatever comes along.
