Introduction
This manual provides essential information for the safe and correct assembly, operation, and maintenance of your vidaXL Aviary with Extension. This product is designed to offer a secure and spacious environment for various birds and small animals. Please read all instructions thoroughly before beginning assembly or use to ensure optimal performance and safety.
Safety Information
- Always wear appropriate safety gear, such as gloves, during assembly to protect against sharp edges on metal components.
- Ensure the aviary is assembled on a level, stable surface.

Setup and Assembly
The vidaXL Aviary with Extension is delivered in a flat-packed format and requires assembly. We recommend two adults for the assembly process. While the galvanized steel frame provides robustness, careful attention to detail during assembly is crucial.
Assembly Steps:
- Unpack and Identify Parts: Carefully unpack all components. Refer to the included parts list (if provided) to ensure all pieces are present.
- Frame Assembly: Begin by assembling the main galvanized steel frame. Pay close attention to the orientation of bars and panels to ensure holes align correctly for fasteners.
- Panel Installation: Attach the steel mesh grids and solid panels to the frame. Ensure all connections are secure.
- Door Installation: Install the hinged door, ensuring the locking mechanism operates smoothly and securely.
- Roof Attachment: Securely attach the roof panels to the top of the structure.
- Final Inspection: After assembly, check all bolts, screws, and connections to ensure they are tightened and secure. Verify the stability of the entire structure.
Operating Instructions
This aviary provides a spacious and secure environment for your pets. It is suitable for medium to large birds, as well as other small animals such as rabbits, ducks, chickens, and geese.
Daily Use:
- Access: Use the hinged door for entry and exit. Always ensure the door is securely locked after use to prevent animals from escaping and to protect them from predators.
- Observation: The steel grid design allows for easy observation of your animals and ensures adequate air circulation.
- Space Utilization: The generous dimensions provide ample space for animals to move, play, and fly comfortably.
Maintenance
Regular maintenance will extend the lifespan of your aviary and ensure a healthy environment for your animals.
- Cleaning: Clean the aviary regularly using mild, non-toxic cleaning agents safe for animals. Rinse thoroughly with water.
- Inspection: Periodically inspect the galvanized steel frame, mesh, and panels for any signs of rust, damage, or loose connections. Tighten any loose fasteners.
- Ground Anchoring: Re-check ground anchors periodically, especially after strong winds, to ensure the aviary remains securely fixed.
Troubleshooting
If you encounter issues during assembly or use, refer to the following common problems and solutions.
- Missing Parts: If any components are missing upon delivery, please contact vidaXL customer support immediately with your model number and a description of the missing parts.
- Assembly Difficulties: If the instructions are unclear, review the diagrams carefully. Ensure all parts are oriented correctly before tightening fasteners. Assistance from a second person is highly recommended.
- Sharp Edges: Exercise extreme caution during handling and assembly of metal sheets and frames. Wear protective gloves to prevent cuts.
- Instability/Wind Damage: Ensure the aviary is properly anchored to the ground. If the structure feels unstable, re-check all connections and consider additional anchoring methods suitable for your local weather conditions.
