ubereglu Posted February 23, 2008 Share Posted February 23, 2008 Today I made a set of roosting bars as mine are looking a bit tatty now ans we used different size wood to the stuff that the eglu roost bars are made from. It will be the test tomorrow to see if they fit. I will post up a pic tomorrow-If I remember! Instead of having 6 bars on each section I changed it to four as we're using wood that's 1 and 1/2 inches wide. I'll show you what I mean when I take a piccie.

ubereglu Posted February 24, 2008 Author Share Posted February 24, 2008 Well I cleaned them out today and put in the new roosting bars! They fit, but we had to do a bit of tweaking, here are some pics. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Egluntyne Posted February 24, 2008 Share Posted February 24, 2008 Wow! What "dimension" of wood did you use Liz? They look very professional. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cinnamon Posted February 24, 2008 Share Posted February 24, 2008 They do look goo Liz. I like the idea of bigger gaps between the bars - more space for the poo to drop through & less wood to scrub Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ubereglu Posted February 24, 2008 Author Share Posted February 24, 2008 Wow! What "dimension" of wood did you use Liz? They look very professional. I used treated timber from Wickes which was 1 & 1/2 inches by 3/4 of an inch They look great, what do your chickens think?Very Happy They seem to be getting on ok with them-they're used to larger perches as that's what their wooden coop had!

ali-s Posted February 24, 2008 Share Posted February 24, 2008 Well done Liz My mark 2 roosting bars are falling apart, they are more flimsily made than the roosting bars for my mark 1. I did think about buying a second set but the postage to get them up here doubles the price I'm going to have a go at making a set myself Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
