  • Build your own bird aviary – outdoor enclosure for rabbits, birds and guinea pigs

    Partially constructed wooden aviary with a small building at the back and an open wooden frame extending in front, set on a gravel and dirt foundation, surrounded by trees and a fence. www.commaik.de

    I had already put up the garden house for the bird aviary and small animal aviary. The only thing missing was a suitable outdoor enclosure to protect the rabbits, birds and guinea pigs outside the four walls. My aim was to give the animals a generous outdoor space without losing sight of the building costs. The outdoor aviary in the garden should also be designed in such a way that it can easily be converted into a garden shed at a later date.

  • Build garden house with bird aviary yourself

    A small wooden garden house with large windows stands on a concrete foundation, surrounded by dirt, construction materials, and wooden planks, set in an outdoor area with trees and houses in the background. www.commaik.de

    The garden shed for the aviary was built just 2 days after the concrete foundation in the garden was completed. The concrete surface was dry and stable enough even if the entire floor slab would certainly need a few more weeks to dry out.
