Posted February 2, 200916 yr It's time like these that I wish i lived up north! My gran gave me some money for my birthday and I was going to use it to pay off some of my car but I figure that was a sucky thing to do so I started looking for Suspended avairys. Now I am getting to the point where I am going to need a bank of say 4 or 5. I have a few restrictions. One being that I only have so much room in my back yard. two being to get into my back yard the whole thing has to come via the house which means it needs to come apart and come through the front door in pieces. So I started looking (money clears on the 9th of Feb so I want to be ready to go) well all the avairy builders are in QLD... I tried to ring a few but the numbers on the website do not work or ring out. I then e-mail then and get no response. I finally started asking people who had pictures of suspended avairys on their site and got told it was this company but they are no longer doing it etc.... I found one guy who would come in and do it all on site but once the avairy was together I could not take it apart and that left me with having to leave it if I ever move out and nope I want something that can come apart so that if I move I can take it with me. I really don't want that much. I want four or five (depending on what size they are) avairys all suspeded joined at the back with a walkway. I have two places I could put them (both would require me to removed trees from my garden but they are all dead anyway wo where is the harm in that!) I want them done so they look nice, one guy offered to do them for me but I know they would look home made and I want that really professional finish look. i want them to be a feature of the garden not a eye sore or just somwhere I keep the birds. I want people to come and see the birds and the whole thing be a really nice enjoyable thing. It's getting depressing, i can't get anyone to give me a price, no one is picking up their phone or answering my e-mails. i am so depressed about this now. I mean I have the money come and take it form my pocket and I can't get anyone intrested. I hate living in Melbourne
February 2, 200916 yr nothing wrong with home made some times can look better than manafactured i sugest you get it tailored to your want by a handyman they arnt called that for nothing just get all plains and materials you want it made from clear in head then ask them for a quote belive me cheeper and can be personalized in your own way
February 2, 200916 yr Author I am going to start looking into that. The guy who offered is a friend and the issue with him is that I have seen his work and it's not that nice of a finish so want someone with a bit of experiese.
February 2, 200916 yr In Daz's aviary topic he use modular click together sections available from bunnings. Take a look, ask him some questions and it may well be something you can plan and do yourself and get help with meshing it.
February 2, 200916 yr Author I had thought about doing that but there is the part of "doing it yourself" I don't like I have found one guy but i have to send him 110 measurements and pictures before he will give me a quote which i think is a good thing
February 4, 200916 yr Author Great find, only one issues I could never get it into my back yard, rang the guy it does not come apart and I have to take whatever I buy through my front door (That was really goot set up)
February 4, 200916 yr Great find, only one issues I could never get it into my back yard, rang the guy it does not come apart and I have to take whatever I buy through my front door (That was really goot set up) We have a similar issue right now getting an aviary out of our backyard due to being sold. Solution ...talk to neighbours, use their access through their yard and pass it over the fence. Many hands make light work.......and you have a choice of neighbours to ask...front and back.
February 4, 200916 yr Author Already thought of that. Front - would have to go down the side of the property (we are the back of 4) through number ones garage then through two back yards so that is not an option. To the left - They have a Shed that we would have to take it over so that is out To the right - Large hedge it can not go over that plus we have trees along that side To the back - she will not let us (we asked before) Yeah so through the front door is the option
February 9, 200916 yr Author Well update - I purchased the one that Kaz said, got it for $255 and change which i think is a good price for it. Going to pick it up on Friday night if I can borrow the trailer from Mum and Dad. Still not 100% sure how to get it into the back yard but we are thinking of taking it up and over the roof of the garage. Will let you all know how I go
