A wooden shed is best and it should be insulated with polystyrene sheets for when it is winter

I wud say wood, it's a lot easier to insulate a wood shed and easier if you need to attach breeding cages to wall, I got a wood shed and Iam happy with it

Hi Kim, Got to agree wood is best as for size, as big as
your purse will allow. 8ft x 10ft Min, cages one side. Flight
on the other work table at far end. Basic set up. Yours B.J.

Very true try and get biggest you can because keeping birds is very addictive to some people (like me lol)...... I have a 12 ft x 8 ft shed and that has two avairys in, a smaller one and 14 cages soon to be more

how do we make a shed rat proof. Hello here are some, Tips from a Rat catcher.
Many years ago I sold some birds to a rat catcher, we were chatting & he gave me these tips. Not that I've always followed them and I'm sorry that I didn't. The garden shed aviary should be a min of 6"/15cm off the ground. This deprives any rats or mice the privacy needed for them to nest & breed under it. Set any traps inside around the perimeter (walls) of your shed before you suspect you have a vermin problem. rodents like to hug the wall when out scavenging By the time you become suspicious you could be overrun. Never use poison as it rarely kills them immediately & they may die where your birds could come into contact with it, with dire results. I lived out in the country, no vermin here I thought. My garden backed onto open fields. So I set to & built a shed (Birdroom) on a flag floor. Two years later I awoke to a crash and racket from my birds. My shed had sunk into the ground at one end. Not an earthquake...It was Rabbits. Unbeknown to me they had burrowed in from outside the fence & undermined my set-up. We live & learn. Yours B. J.
