Meet All Your Bird Housing Needs With HARDAZ® Aviary Mesh
Step 1: Aviary Planning And Design
Imagine your perfect aviary before you start building it. Pick a location in your backyard that provides a combination of sun and shade, is flat, and has adequate drainage. The size of your aviary will depend on the type and number of birds you plan to house, but make sure it has enough room for the birds to fly around and explore. Sketch out a simple design with dimensions and a list of materials needed.
Step 2: Building The Aviary Frame
Start with a strong foundation by constructing the frame of your aviary. To ensure longevity, choose pressure-treated timber or cedar, and trim the wood to the desired length. Use HARDAZ® galvanized screws to secure the frame together, making it extraordinarily strong and fully weather-resistant. Keep corners square and level for a professional finish.
Step 3: Installing The Aviary Mesh
Next, it's time to install the HARDAZ® Galvanised Aviary Mesh, which is perfect for creating a secure and safe enclosure for your birds. Choose the mesh size based on your bird species (either 12.5mm or 25mm aperture, with 0.7mm or 1.24mm wire diameter). Cut the mesh to fit each section of the frame, then attach it securely using a staple gun or screws with washers. Double-check your aviary to ensure there are no gaps where your birds could escape.
Step 4: Adding Doors and Roof To Your Aviary
Your aviary needs easy access and protection from the weather to keep your birds safe and comfortable. Create sturdy doors for your aviary using durable wood and secure them with hinges and latches from HARDAZ®. Choose from a variety of materials, such as corrugated plastic, metal, or wood panels for the roof, to ensure your birds are protected and sheltered from rain and sun all year round.
Step 5: Adding Perches And Accessories To Your Aviary
Make your aviary a cosy sanctuary for your birds by adding perches made from natural branches or wooden dowels. Consider installing a small water feature to enhance the environment. Use natural materials and plants to create a space that feels inviting and natural for your birds. Add nesting boxes or shelters for extra comfort and ensure feeders and water containers are easily accessible for convenient maintenance. Your birds will thrive in this welcoming habitat, bringing joy and tranquility to your space.
Step 6: Finishing Touches For Your Aviary
This is an important step before introducing the birds to their new home. To safeguard your durable steel bird aviary and the well-being of your birds, carefully inspect the structure for any potential hazards such as openings, sharp edges, or exposed nails. If desired, seal or paint the wood to keep it weatherproof and extend the life of the aviary. This final step ensures that your aviary is not only functional but also a beautiful addition to your garden.
Step 7: Introducing Birds To Your Aviary
Before bringing your birds into their new home, it's important to quarantine any new additions to ensure they're healthy. Once they're ready, introduce them gradually and keep an eye on their behavior to make sure they're settling in well.
Maintenance Tips:
- Regular Cleaning: Maintain a healthy environment for your birds and keep the aviary clean by removing droppings and replacing bedding as needed.
- Inspect For Wear: Check for any signs of wear, particularly on the mesh and the roof, to protect your birds and ensure their security.
- Fresh Food and Water: Always provide your birds with fresh food and water. Routinely clean the waterers and feeders to keep your birds healthy and happy.
