Where can I get a pigeon box for my boat from?

[Andrew B]

I've looked on the net can't find anybody who sells pigeon boxes. Does anybody know anybody who sells any?

I like midland chandlers one with the 2 glass window eyes.

I've seen some before that's more fancy and had tradionsl patterns on and painted in blue and green etc.

Terence does, not sure if they are for decoration only though.

 

But he will paint them though.

Kedian, who is a member here would probably make one to suit your boat. Drop him a PM

What do you think the result would be like if I got one from Midland Chandlers and painted it myself and stuck some bargeware decals of eBay as a LAST resort?

[RLWP]

Andrew, how are you going to go about cutting and relining the roof?

The boat currently needs a couple more ventilation vents (in my opinion) and I'm hoping somebody can fit them and a pigeon box. There's 2 people I've got in mind who will but my roof is not curved it's flat - straight and meet at a slope angle at the top, if that makes sense? That's the only way I can describe it.

[RLWP]

A sort of inverted vee - like a shed roof?

 

If you talk to Kedian, he can supply and fit a box for you. Have a look at Odana's side hatch thread

Hi

Went into Midland Chandlers in Braunston a couple of weeks past. They had boxes already painted.

 

Not sure where they get them from. 'Terence' lives in Braunston....................

as in a 'peaked' roof -

That's correct

[Guest]

That's correct

 

If you do get one made post up some pictures please.

 

I have been thinking about ways to get more light into our quite dark kitchen. It's OK in the summer with the side hatches open but quite dark in the winter with them closed, meaning we often have the lights on - wasting power.

 

Your post got me thinking.

I may be wrong, but I think the painted ones that I noticed at Midland Chandlers at Penkridge, at least, were a wooden item, not a steel one.

 

I'm sure they could advise what they have at any particular outlet.

I thought you were going to say you had one spare -

 

I noticed in the old photos of Sickle she has one that she no longer has...

Correct.

Hi.

 

Didn't realise the op wanted metal. I did know that the one in Midland was wood. So Alan and Speedwheel are correct.

 

Ho hum. I do try.

 

Martyn

[Andrew B]

It doesnt have to be metal can be wood, I'll post some pics MJG if I do finally get one.

 

Does anybody know anywhere cheap for mushroom vents at the moment? I need 4 of them.

Cheers - only if metal though.

 

Personally I wouldn't want a wooden one.

Hi Can't do links. however on ebay there are 5 mushroom vents for sale @ £117.50 plus £12.00 postage. Works out at £25.90 each. Seems a bargain.
