My aviary is almost the exact same dimension.
I think mine is 5.5 wide, 13 or 14 long and 7 feet high.
I use a combination of sand/dirt and 2 sizes of pebbles in mine.
I use larger 1 inch jade pebbles all around the pond area to prevent mud going in and around the pond area.
I also have very tiny 1/2" or smaller Moon pebbles in a small square 2x2 foot section in front of the doorway inside the aviary so i don't track mud in and out as well.
It depends on how your bottom surrounding area is, but mine pretty much prevents dirt from running off if it gets wet.
Still, i cover it every time it rains, just to be safe.
I hose it down thoroughly once a week and manually scrub a bucketful of rocks that have a lot of droppings on them in a little cleaning station i built outside of the aviary and then throw them back in.
Here are 2 pics of mine, so you can get an idea of the coverage.
I also have a link in my signature with more pictures, but these are the 2 best from it.
