Can't find the plans or my photo's sorry    The one I made was hexagonal, 2 floors with 3 pairs on each floor made from 3/4" matchboard for the outers 3 widths to a side interior I made from sterling board, but it would have been better with marine ply. Centre was had a hollow running thro' it for the post 5"x5", cant remember the height of each floor but don't think it was much more than 12". Have a look at this it was similar but I had made mine with a felt roof cut to look like shingles.

Each floor was divided into 3 partitions.

                                                                hiya rich thanks for taking the time to help ,Im probably thick but could you do a rough sketch of the inside please the one im making has 2 floors i just need a rough guide on how to seperate the inside floors thanks  phil

Greetings to philskin and thanks to richyrich7 for your welcome.  She who must be obeyed (For those who live in ignorance She who must be obeyed is was the honour given to Rumpole of the Bailey's longsuffering wife - or was that the otherway around) has retreated into darkest Africa until the first dovecote comes of the production line - dread to think of the rat population increase - I hear they are quite nice roasted slowly on a spit, its the tails I have difficulty swallowing - or was that the doves, either way it may cut down the food run to ASDA.

Seriously though, the one I am working on will be dry assembled and then taken appart for varnishing and painting - here's the furniture maker coming out.  And at this point it could be flat packed and shipped with assembly instruction.  it will be a week to 10 days before the photos are ready.  At the moment, the plans are top secret and if divulged (she who must) will be taking off for the moon - may be that's no bad thing.  Will keep you up to date.  Regards,  Paul

                                                                                                                      THANKS PAUL sorry I havent answered you before thanks for your offer but when I am dettermined to find something I get tunnel vision after all these pc,s are supposed to have all the info on the planet, should off been a defective  oh sorry thats what she who must be obeyed calls me .meant detective lol

Hi, If you're still looking, I bought some dovecote plans on eBay a couple of weeks ago. There are 4 traditional designs of different sizes, all with very easy to follow instructions and lots of pics. Hope they still have some copies left, the seller is  m*bargains , you should be able to find them by typing in ''4 DIY dovecote designs'' in the search.  Well worth a look! Hope that helps, Paul
