Well me and the kids have finally badgered the Mrs into giving us the big GO AHEAD for the aviary. So I will be ordering it from Col Western tomorrow. I am getting the 2.340m x 1.7m deep x 1.8m high in thick wire. It will be all mesh front and half mesh sides and full steel roof. It will be sited facing due east so it will pick up the morning sun and be protected from the westerly sun/wind. I am putting it on 200 high x 100 wide treted pine sleepers for extra hight and laying a concrete floor inside with one of those grated drains you see in the end of driveways at one end. It will be piped underground to the stormwater and the slab will have a slight fall on it (inside the sleepers) to the drain. Also I will be painting the mesh black to show off the birds better.

Check back as I will post photos of the construction in progress.
