Hope it all goes well for you Matt whatever way you decide to do it. At least it sounds like you’ve found a place where you can still keep pigeons

Hey Matt, glad that you have found somewhere thst will allow you to continue with the birds. Just asking is it possible to take your old set up down and split it into 2 sections to suit. At worst you should only need to replace 1 end.

You guys all seem to like the flat roof. I love the high peaked roof on mine. It's 10 feet high in the middle and has heaps of air space. Always airy and pleasant.
That's a nice shed, Matt, but I'd be lining it with 7mm plywood to keep it warmer.

Is a pent roof better on a pigeon loft if it slopes front to back or from back to front......?

My sheds have always been pent sheds, slopes from front to back. With hangover front front and back, keep the rain from the back of the shed.Diamond Dave wrote: Mon Sep 14, 2026 10:23 am Is a pent roof better on a pigeon loft if it slopes front to back or from back to front......?

I would imagine that usually sloping down from front to back would be better, to take the water away from the front. In the time it takes to unlock a door you can get a lot of water down your neck with a forward sloping roof.Diamond Dave wrote: Mon Sep 14, 2026 10:23 am Is a pent roof better on a pigeon loft if it slopes front to back or from back to front......?
What interests me is why flat roofs are perhaps more popular over there than a peaked roof?

I can only agree with that Murray happened to me loads of times, mine slopes at front up to top height then slopes back for main area of loftMurray wrote: Mon Sep 14, 2026 10:52 amI would imagine that usually sloping down from front to back would be better, to take the water away from the front.

A pent shed controls the flow of the rain, that is why the front of the shed is higher than the back. But you dont want the fall to big.
