Perchesaarongreen123 was asking me about box perches. These perches were put in a loft that my husband built a few years ago and they are great. The long pieces of wood that run horizontally don't go all the way to the piece of wood underneath, so scraping is a breeze. Just start at one end and go to the other end. They still work like a box perch in that the birds still have thier own little "cubby" so to speak.
I've posted these before, but it's been a while and we've got quite a few new people building lofts so here they are again.

Those really look good, Renee. I like that natural grain of the wood behind them too, looks very professional.
Is the actual perch (where the birds stand), are they set away from the back wall so the poop falls to the floor or are they connected to the wall???? ....It's hard to tell from the pictures.

Beautiful construction job and excellent idea of being able to sweep the complete length of the boards !!
Some of the wood looks shiney . Did you seal it with shellac or polyurethane by any chance ? Some finishes smell awful for a long time .... but there is a water based poly thats supposed to be non-toxic . I've never used it though , just curious as I need to seal the wood in my small loft . I rinse it with the garden hose often and I suppose eventually it will ruin it . Used a latex paint .... it is coming off already . Hambone
