I used scrap wood that I had left over when building my loft
all you really have to do is build a box 24 inches wide 16 inches high and 24 inches deep maybe you could even use cardboard boxes with a small peice of plywood on the bottom for support the poop tends to make the bottom wet and it might come apart empty apple crates work well also

James, You said you only had one loft right now to keep your birds in. Please do not breed any more until you get another loft to keep the birds in. The single cocks will try to kill the squabs. At the very least, spend your money on enlarging your loft.

These boxes are in Wilkinsons at the moment. They are I think £2 each. A couple of minutes with a saw and cardboard between to stop the poop falling through.

I personally would go with some sort of crate, something cheap, washable, can be thrown away possibly.
The only reason I have the boxes I have is because my husband can build them. If it was just me............who KNOWS what I'd be using. LOL
