Average Mew Cost & Weather Yard Q.

[nlucas3020]

Hey all. I have a question for you. I was under the impression that if you mew as sufficent, you didn't need a weathering yard. Is this so?

Also , what was the cost of your mew? I have passed my exam and have a sponsor, so this is my next step. Just wanting to get an idea of the damage. Thanks!

[jake34705]

500, if you want to build it out of plywood about 800. i have no weathering area. i have to be with her at all times when i put her on a perch outside.

i spent about 900.. but that includes weathering area. my mews was passed as a weathering as well but really it is NO substatute. dont take any shortcuts, you will thank yourself later.

please dont answer if you dont know the answer....

mine cost about 600ish i think, rebuild was another 300

ok, this is what I was guessing, appx 500. Does anyone have theirs set up to be relocated easily? I am renting now, but hopefully buying a house in a year or so.

And I want to do things right the first time. I am not really concerned about cost, just the more it is, the longer I have to save

Mine's a prefab shed I converted. About $1200 for the shed and the material for the conversion. You can get by cheaper but I had to deal with the building nazis. Kurt

probably half the threads on this board deal with relocatable mews. the best way is to use bolts to hold the walls together.

[nlucas3020]

Ok. I guessed as much. My dad has personally built the last 2 houses we have lived in, so he is building my mew for me. I am not too concerned with how to do it, I was just wondering if it was a common thing.

my first mews was 1200 my second mews was 400 my third mews was about 600
