Corner Board

I prefer using the crescent shape corner board than the 90dg type (the back portion which is 90dg). Reason being the crescent shape or I commonly calls it the moon shape is easier to work with and it has advantages over the 90dg cb.

.

If you use the 90dg corner board (cb) the wood works skill of the workers have to be good and precise. That means all 90dg angle on the planking must be accurate if any angle is not precisely 90dg then the 90dg cb wouldn’t fit properly because both angles have to be 90dg before it could fit in.

.

Otherwise there would be a big vertical line gap between the planks and the fixed 90dg cb and this is disliked by birds.

.

Whereas for the moon shape cb even the planking corners angles are not 90dg the moon shape cb can be easily move from left to right to find the right fitting angle. This would reduce the vertical line gap and making work easy.

.

Unlike the 90dg cb the back is a sharp 90dg angle and it hard to adjust them. Don’t take this likely as young birds like to make nests on the line between the planks and the cb. Most if not all the new nests in new farms are made on the corner board. Unless you do not favor cb and you intended not to fix cb in your farm then it would be a different case.

.

But if you intended to have cb in your farm then you should use the right one. It is not that the 90dg cb cannot be used but if you want to use it make sure the planking workmanship is good and make sure the workers have the skill in wood working otherwise if all the 90dg angle are out then you have problem of fixing the 90dg cb properly.

.

This would be useful for those who want to Diy the nesting plank. I had once Diy the nesting plank by myself before and I guess you could do it too.

.

Good farming All!
