Building a DIY animal aviary with a timber frame? In this video, I guide you through the step-by-step process of creating a sturdy, secure outdoor space for birds, rabbits, and guinea pigs. From setting concrete foundations to aligning beams, I share my methods and tools for constructing this functional and stylish aviary.
Key features and steps covered:
✅ Setting up the timber frame foundation with PVC pipes and concrete anchors for maximum stability.
✅ Installing cross beams, brackets, and roof battens to ensure durability and safety.
✅ Adding aviary wire to protect animals from predators like foxes and martens.
✅ Designing a covered section for shade and rain protection, while leaving space for a green area.
✅ Planning a salley port with two doors for safe and convenient access.
I use high-quality materials, including aerated concrete, sturdy brackets, and precision tools like a spirit level and cordless screwdriver. Whether you're interested in outdoor DIY projects, Reolink cameras for surveillance, or even diesel heating for a cozy outdoor space, this video combines practical advice and creative ideas to inspire your next build.
