Installing Stainless Steel Plate in Swiftlet Farm

Here are the pictures of the Stainless Steel plate installed on the corners. I had showed in my previous post how to make the S.Steel plate, to known more you could check out  the previous post.

After removing the nest from the corner a S.Steel plate is installed by using screws. I prefer to use screw because its hold on to the wood stronger and easy to work with . To prevent rust Make sure to use S.steel screws. Not all type of S.Steel screws could be used. Opt for the button head type with round edges so that the nests wouldn't stick to the side between the screw and the plate.

This is how it looks like, the marked blue line on the plate indicates the middle of the plate for us to align the plate to the middle when installing.

Another corner that will be soon installed with the S.Steel plate.  Installing S.Steel plate at corners is Not  recommended for Swiftelt farming that has less than 500 nests.

Good Swiftlet farming All!
