Aviary Sand

[donniedarko]

Hi All,

I currently have three (3) aviaries that I'm looking to re-design with 2" of gravel/pea stone on the bottom topped with 2"-4" of sand. From what I've been reading this sounds like the best solution for controlling mud and adding a nice look to the aviary.

The only thing I'm missing here is what type of sand should I be looking at using?

- Masonry Sand
- Golf Sand/Fill Sand
- Play Sand
...ect

Hoping to hear feedback from others in the forum

Hi donnie. Im lucky to have sand all over. Any of those sands would work for you.Pick the one that you like. I do find that even with our pure white snow sand here that I still have to add a inch or two once or twice a year. They seem to turn it into dirt and then mud if i dont. Long ago before I did this I would just turn the soil in the pen over.Im all for the best easiest good looking way. Hope this helps.
