Heavy Duty Hexagonal Post Mounted Dovecote for 6 pairs of Doves

Product Information

In my opinion, the most important factor to take into account when choosing a location for your dovecote is that it must be viewable from your favourite chairs be they in the garden or house. Designed to be installed post vertical 600 to 750mm in the ground (depending on ground conditions) and prepared to be slid into a suitably founded 110mm dia. The idea being that young chicks could grip the edge with their toes and thus prevent premature falls. This classic project is part of our fashion-led collection of easy-to-follow knitting patterns from the Autumn 2019 edition of TOFT Quarterly Magazine.

This Dovecote was excellent quality it arrived on a pallet very well packed and the driver was very helpful as my father is 85 years of age and driver brought it as close to house as possible it is now up in the garden looking good. My use of the words 'roost' or 'roosting' applies to not only where the doves sleep at night but also where they rest during the daytime. Some forum members just paint their dovecotes with undercoat and don't use a top coat, the reason given is that it's easier to apply and dries much quicker so the doves are not deprived of their habitation for too long. This means that I am talking about wall mounted dovecotes, or a wall mounted dovecote that has been adapted to mount on a pole. As suggested by the name it consists of processed wood that is glued together to make larger pieces, commonly sheets.Large balconies can be further separated into two types, those that only allow access to one compartment and multi compartment balconies. With this simple maintenance, your Dovecote will be protected against all weather, and the pressure-treated timber protects against rot and fungal attack for 15 years.

Grade A/B' is a combination with one side graded 'A' and one side graded 'B'; it is therefore second best.

Our carpenters have used their expertise to built tolerances into the designs to accommodate most situations, but you may still observe occasional seasonal and weather movement in the timber. My hand was just to large to withdraw out of the pop-hole easily with a dove in it, enlarging the pop-hole was out of the question as it would then make the compartments more accessible to predators. I use it for making removable / disposable floorboards which I expect to give a lifespan of at least 2-years without any protective treatment.

It was quite a nice looking chair and had a broken tenon on one of the rear corners plus a split rear and side rail. waste; I am thinking about conifer hedge clippings, long strands of grass and discarded feathers etc. After a couple of hours I made a decision and then checked the compartments every couple of weeks and destroyed any new eggs.My first instinct would be to say that "Mrs Sparrow hawk" is our worst predator, but on reflection this is just not true. We are told that in the United Kingdom, the majority of the rain is from a West or South West direction. Suitable for mounting on a 3" x 3" post (not included) which fits through the lower floor into a socket on the underside of the first floor making for a very secure fixing.
