A proper loft is the foundation of a competitive racing program. We build and supply lofts sized for 6 to 60 birds — designed for racing birds, not generic poultry.
| Component | Standard | Premium | Why It Matters |
|---|---|---|---|
| Framing | Treated Pine | Western Red Cedar | Cedar naturally resists moisture, rot, and insects. Outlasts pine by decades in outdoor conditions. |
| Wire Mesh | 1/2″ Galvanized | 1/2″ PVC-Coated | PVC coating prevents rust and protects birds from scraping feathers. Standard galvanized wire rusts within 5–8 years. |
| Roofing | Asphalt Shingle | Metal Standing Seam | Metal roofs last 50+ years, reflect heat, and won't absorb moisture. Critical in hot summer climates for bird comfort. |
| Fasteners | Galvanized | Stainless Steel | Stainless steel hardware never rusts and won't corrode against cedar. Galvanized corrodes against cedar within 3–5 years. |
| Floor | Plywood | Slatted Cedar | Slatted cedar floors keep birds off droppings, stay dry, and prevent bumblefoot. Plywood floors trap moisture and breed bacteria. |
| Entrance Holes | Cut PVC Pipe | Machine-Formed Rings | Machine-formed rings have smooth, rounded edges that protect wing feathers. Cut pipe edges are sharp and cause wing damage over time. |
