Guest Posted September 15, 2007 Share Posted September 15, 2007 Anyone know the cost of spare roosting bars for a cube? I thought I might add some to the order but can't find them on a search. Somehow I can't see me getting them dry quickly in midwinter so I thought I could rotate them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sparkleeeeee Posted September 15, 2007 Share Posted September 15, 2007 i think you can ask for them to be added to your order and i did think about that but with all the posts about them being filmsy i thought i would make a set myself. i could then make them in two bits which would be easier to remove and clean etc (and probably cheaper) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bronze Posted September 15, 2007 Share Posted September 15, 2007 make them yourself definitely. I bought a pair and to be honest theyre rubbish. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted September 15, 2007 Share Posted September 15, 2007 I was going to make a spare set for the Eglu but I havn't ever got round to it and now I'm back at school, in a new school I can't see me making the time before Summer term when things calm down (I teach mainly ks4 and LOADS of year 11, about 12 hours a week!!!). But I guess if they are that flimsy I'll have to get to it after all! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Henypenny Posted September 15, 2007 Share Posted September 15, 2007 Just incase you dont get round to making your own, I bought a spare set of roosting bars for my cube just last week for £15.00 - I rang omlet up as I too couldnt find them on the online store Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Egluntyne Posted September 15, 2007 Share Posted September 15, 2007 Oops sorry...I misread. Best give them a ring. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chickweed Posted September 15, 2007 Share Posted September 15, 2007 The first time I removed the roosting bars from the eglu, they broke apart! My husband repaired them and made a spare set at the same time, not too difficult. I would say that a second set is essential to allow drying time after cleaning the the first set.

Richard Posted September 15, 2007 Share Posted September 15, 2007 I made a spare set and it makes it much easier - I just put the other set in when I clean out and then don't have to wait for the cleaned ones to dry. I bought a load of 1'' by 1'' well,its actually about three quarter inch square planed) and have made spare sets for the Eglu and the Cube, and a set for Georgie's home made studio coop.

Charlottechicken Posted September 15, 2007 Share Posted September 15, 2007 Here's a link to the thread about my home made Eglu bars, same principles apply. They are easy peasy to make! http://club.omlet.co.uk/forum/viewtopic.php?t=7877 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sparkleeeeee Posted September 15, 2007 Share Posted September 15, 2007 penguinmad i have found some offcuts of wood on the wood pile that might be ok for the roosting bars i will have a go this week when the cube gets here so i can measure the omlet ones. if they are any good i can make you a set as well, it would only cost you the postage then.

Essex birds Posted September 21, 2007 Share Posted September 21, 2007 Hi, I got my purple cube 2 weeks ago. After a few times of taking my roosting bars out, one bar broke from staples, i kept bashing it back in but it constently broke. I felt this was bad and that the product should of been screwed. I contacted omlet explained this to James, he told me to, wait until a couple of months as they are in the prosses of making plastic roosting bars. Hope this helps, as for price i dont know. 9 chickens + 3 Pekin bantams Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted September 21, 2007 Share Posted September 21, 2007 Do you think they will do anyone a deal who already has a cube with bars that are falling apart? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
