Flat-Pack Aviaries Are Awkward
Those panels look simple in the photos. In reality, they're heavy, awkward, and fiddly to assemble alone. Miss one bolt and the whole thing's wonky. Professional assembly means it goes together properly and securely.
💡 Pro tip: Most aviary problems come from poor assembly - panels not square, doors that don't close right, gaps where they shouldn't be. Get it built right first time.

🔧 DIY Tips
Want to assemble it yourself? Here's what you're in for:
🔧 Tools you'll need
- Socket set and spanners
- Spirit level
- Drill for ground anchors
- Stepladder
- Helper (essential - can't do alone)
- Ground sheet to lay parts on
📐 Assembly process
- Lay out all parts, check against instructions
- Build base frame on level ground
- Add uprights, checking square as you go
- Fit roof frame
- Install mesh panels
- Hang doors and check operation
- Secure to base/ground
⚠️ Common DIY mistakes
- Not checking level at each stage - ends up wonky
- Forcing panels that don't quite fit - damaged mesh
- Missing bolts - structure not rigid
- Not securing to ground - blows over in first storm
💡 Pro trick: Build on calmest day possible. Wind catches those mesh panels like sails - impossible to handle alone in even moderate breeze.
Rather leave it to a pro? No problem - that's what I'm here for. Give me a call.
Good to Know
🎨 Custom aviaries? If you're building from scratch rather than a kit, that's more complex. I can help with basic structures, but specialist aviary builders might be better for elaborate custom builds.
Base needed first? If you need concrete base or paving laid, get that done and cured before aviary assembly. I can recommend local groundworkers if you need one.
Rat-proofing? If your aviary sits on grass, consider mesh buried around perimeter to stop rats digging under. I can advise on best approach for your situation.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can you build aviaries from flat-pack kits?
Yes - bring the kit, I'll assemble it. Most garden aviaries come as panels that bolt together. I'll follow the instructions, make sure it's square and secure, and fix it to your base or ground. Much easier than wrestling with it yourself.
Do I need a base for an aviary?
Ideally yes - concrete slab or paving is best. Gives stable foundation and stops rats/predators digging under. If you haven't got a base, I can advise on whether your aviary needs one or if it'll work on grass/gravel.
How long does assembly take?
Depends on size. Small garden aviary, half day. Large walk-in aviary, full day or more. Complex structures with multiple sections take longer. I'll estimate based on what you've got.
What about securing it?
Has to be fixed down so it doesn't blow over or get pushed by predators. Either ground anchors, bolted to concrete base, or weighted depending on aviary type and your ground. I'll make sure it's stable and secure.
Do you supply the aviary?
No - you buy the aviary you want, I assemble it. There are loads of different types and sizes, so makes sense you choose one that fits your birds and space. Just make sure it comes with assembly instructions.
