birdhouse Posted August 31, 2013 Share Posted August 31, 2013 GRRR! GF actually had discussions about some pretty sweet stands members have made. The forum search engine just can't find anything since vBulletin or whatever it's called. But this is a pretty detailed link: http://www.birdtricks.com/blog/how-to-build-your-parrot-a-playstand/ Don't know how elaborate you were thinking or if you wanted something that large, more portable or hanging. But really the only "rules" are to use stainless or nickel plated (not galvanized) chain or fittings & any sisal should specifically say "bird safe" because it has no oils & pesticides. Otherwise, CPVC pipe might be a better alternative to PVC which is starting to get some bad press as a potential cancer risk. Hopefully, that link will give you some ideas to start, anyway. Then you can incorporate whatever you like into yours. The nice thing is that nothing gets glued because it's not necessary (or good for the fids btw). If you eventually decide to re-invent your first creation, you can just cannibalize it for your next one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Timbersmom Posted August 31, 2013 Share Posted August 31, 2013 Yes, someone just recently posted their specs but I'm not seeing it either. Hopefully that member will see this and chime in! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
birdhouse Posted September 1, 2013 Share Posted September 1, 2013 (edited) ^^^ Me too. Thought I'd just take a minute & post the link for it. ...not! I do like a number of things about the stand in the link I ref'd. It's also a design that can be customized pretty easily. But it's just that our own members have shared some really, really nice projects over the years & it's a shame not to be able to show them off to new members. Search is a little more better if you know a member's name to Google, though. :confused: ...so of course I'm pretty much drawing a blank. lol But I remember Doug was always making Ellie new stands. These are a couple of his plastic projects. http://www.greyforums.net/forums/showthread.php?193747-I-made-a-playstand! http://www.greyforums.net/forums/showthread.php?194139-DIY-Window-Perch There are some really greyt wood stands "out there", too. This is one of my fav's that Acappella made for Dorian. http://www.greyforums.net/forums/showthread.php?195538-Playstand-I-made-for-Dorian Edited September 1, 2013 by birdhouse Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GreyG Posted September 3, 2013 Share Posted September 3, 2013 Here's another one. http://www.greyforums.net/forums/showthread.php?200026-Hanging-PVC-Playgym Was just going to add this! I have also made one that stands on the floor instead of hanging - simple modification. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
