Title: Poultry House Construction (also posted on poultry)
Post by: suziequeue on May 04, 2012, 07:25:33 am

Hi - I have bought Michael Roberts' book on Poultry Construction - part of the Golden Cockerel series.

Anybody have any experience of building his designs?

Many of the diagrams are annotated with "x 5 off" or "x 2 off" (see photo)

Does anybody know what this means?

5 no. / 2 no.  Not read book so don't know context but that's what I would take as meaning if hearing it.
