HOW TO ASSEMBLE OUR ENCLOSURES
Here at mad-parrot.com we offer the highest quality frame and door panels at competitive prices with an impressive selection to choose from. On this page we demonstrate how to assemble our animal enclosures yourself. Assembling our Catios and Aviaries could not be simpler just follow the directions shown here and don't forget our frames can be used horizontally or vertically as required
OUR PANELS ARRIVE FLAT PACKED
HORIZONTAL & VERTICAL TUBES ARE PRE-DRILLED WITH ASSEMBLY HOLES AT OUR FACTORY.
We have designed our frames with your future house moves or enclosure relocations in mind and this includes installing assembly holes positioned both horizontally and vertically so that frames can be assembled or disassembled easily wether used as a side panel or a roof panels. No other manufacturer uses this systemized approach preparing for future needs on site. This also means that in the future you can purchase and add panels to give extra height or width - useful if a future property requires a little extra space. Our frames also have pre-drilled fixing holes in the top and bottom tubes ready to fix to the floor or ceiling if required.
FRAMES ARE BOLTED TOGETHER
USING NUTS & BOLTS
When assembling, start by positioning two frames or panels to create a 90 degree right angle. This gives you the stability you need to work onwards. A useful lesson is to get into the habit of having the mesh on the inside and the framework on the outside. This makes bolting the frames together so much easier and makes maintenance faster. Its a simple rule but an important one.
ONLY TWO TOOLS ARE REQUIRED FOR ASSEMBLY OF OUR FRAMES -
1 x 4mm ALLEN HEAD SCREWDRIVER
1 x 10mm SPANNER.
START BY FORMING A 90 DEGREE CORNER - THIS GIVE YOU A STABLE BASE TO WORK WITH.
ADD EXTRA PANELS AS REQUIRED
ADD DOOR PANEL WHERE REQUIRED
