Heavy Duty Hexagonal Post Mounted Dovecote for 6 pairs of Doves

Product Information

Stretcher Reveal Brick Slips – These are mainly used for Doors, Windows, Arches and Fireplaces to install on the top part (reveal) of these areas to give a formal and professional finish. There's only one alternative to pop-holes facing in different directions and that's to have them all facing in the same direction. There is no doubt that a dovecote made with easily removable fastenings such as screws and threaded fixings will be a lot easier to repair than one that has been fastened together with nails pins or brads. These 4 or 5-star reviews represent the opinions of the individuals who posted them and do not reflect the views of Etsy. They get their name from the fact that the occupants use that small doorway to 'pop in' and 'pop out' of their habitation.

When I built RoadRunners dovecote I deliberately made the roof a comfortable 120 degrees and I have seen over 30 doves roosting on it in the daytime.

They can often be seen in larger gardens housing a few ornamental white garden doves or just as decorative wall-mounted garden features themselves.Many of the features that make up a practical dovecote will also help to reduce labour hours and the cost of maintenance regardless of whether that maintenance is general housekeeping or periodic maintenance.

Painted in antique white, it's topped off by a beautifully finished roof with individually hand-carved timber shingles. Only those of us who have built both wall and pole mounted dovecotes will know the truth of this statement. Plywood is made by rotating the different layers of wood so that they are cross grained to each other. Finally it has been externally finished with knotting, primer, two undercoats and two coats of white gloss. 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.The ratings/reviews displayed here may not be representative of every listing on this page, or of every review for these listings. Since RoadRunners dovecote has been in use I have never seen a magpie on a balcony, yet this was a common occurrence with our pole mounted dovecotes. In respect of the direction of our view of the dovecote and the direction of the sun, this has given us the best of both worlds. To ensure you have the perfect brick slips for you and your home, we have designed our brick slips for both internal and external walls. Initially I became enthusiastic about it because it was easy to apply but a year after I painted RoadRunners dovecote it is still in good condition, apart from being very dirty round the pop-hole entrances.
