i'm guessing they made it, but no they don't ship. you go there and dismantle it yourself so you know how to get it up

Looks great! I have also seen them built using screen doors from Home Depot or Lowes with the screen replaced by 1/2 inch hardware cloth.

I have thought of mesh wire, PVC, and zip ties, and maybe two or three hinges to make a door with a latch made of wood. i don't know

You can most definitely make that yourself!
If you go to Home Depot with a plan of what you want, they can help you put it together! They've help me put together many crazy ideas!

You just need some wood, mesh, nails and more or less energy and patience!

Kaite, here are instructions from the FIC for how to build an aviary using the screen doors. You could use wire mesh for the whole thing, instead of using plexiglass for the bottom, would be cheaper.

And page 1 of this thread shows a panel-form aviary built from screen doors.
