Skillion Roof Aviary
The skillion roof design is our most popular style of aviary. There are a great range of sizes to choose from and the 1.95m high front offers a great viewing platform for your birds. There are also lots of additional extras including bird locks, dividers and converting sections to all wire.
While the smaller sizes are indeed the most popular for the bird enthusiast, we do regularly make larger skillion aviaries with added walkways and divided areas for the more avid bird breeder. These can be tailored to suit the type of bird that you have. If you are looking for something unique then contact us to see if we can help.

Gable Roof Aviary
If you are after a larger aviary then we recommend the gable style, which offers a greater depth than some of our other designs. This type of structure is great if you have a bit more space around the home and want to give your birds more room to spread their wings. The full range of options are available including adding dividers to separate your pets.
If you want to customise your aviary to include walkways, full wire panels or bird locks or if they need to be designed to suit certain types of birds then we can build it. There are a range of standard sizes to choose from but we can make to specific measurements if required. We want to ensure you get the aviary you want.

The hex aviary design is a popular option for bird enthusiasts. You can choose from a single hex design, which is great for those with smaller backyards, or add flight extensions to increase the room for your birds. These flight extensions can be added to either side of the hex. The double hex aviary is also an attractive design if you don’t have any space issues.

INSTALLATION
For the DIY enthusiast, our aviaries are the easiest and best product on the market. All of our aviaries come in pre-made walls and roofs and you only need to screw together the separate panels using a cordless drill and your aviary will be assembled in no time! Attach your product to the ground immediately to ensure that no wind damage occurs. There are a great range of videos and notes to help guide you through the installation process.
Alternatively, if you require installation to be done for you then contact us and we can arrange it. We provide a range of other services including permit applications, site preparation and concreting.
SITE PREPARATION
For maximum wind loading we recommend a flat concrete slab for aviaries that is 100mm thick and has reinforced mesh. A rebated concrete slab will also be suitable. The SteelChief aviaries base is L shaped (BaseSmart) and galvanised which is a great advantage.
Concrete work is not for the inexperienced. We can assist with completing this work for you.
If your site is protected from all winds and you are wanting to install your aviary on natural ground then we recommend that the site be completely flat and level prior to erection. You can use star pickets (450mm or 650mm) around the inside of your aviary. Attach the star picket to the base of the aviary with a sturdy screw.
