About 6ft by 3ft with the thick, sturdy mesh. What do you think would be a fair price?

Weld mesh is quite dear too. SOrry can't be more specific than that. Back to top ntsmama Joined: 06 Dec 2007 Posts: 234 Posted: Tue Mar 11, 2008 6:55 pm    Post subject: I've been quoted £50. What do you think? It's hand made - seems well made. The wood has gone green but looks OK Back to top Parrot Joined: 24 Oct 2007 Posts: 89 Location: Norwich Posted: Tue Mar 11, 2008 6:59 pm    Post subject: If the wood looks good and it's what you want, snatch their hand off at £50. Just go on a few sites and look at the prices for new, you will be astounded.

People assured us 'the cost of living' would be cheaper here and we've yet to find anything that is cheaper than when we were down south.

For £60 I could of done you a new one though if you just wanted the run and no coop.
