Common Questions
Which material should I choose?
If you are trying to choose between the 18oz and 12oz vinyl materials, please choose based on your environment. For regular weather conditions, 12 oz. vinyl is a great material at a slightly less expensive price. If you are going to experience heavy weather conditions such as heavy snow, heavy rain, and lots of wind, then please choose the 18 oz. vinyl material.
What is the most common material?
The 18 ounce vinyl is used to make 90% of the covers ALCO offers. Even though both materials are equally strong and look the same, the majority of customers pick the thicker material.
Are they easy to clean?
Yes. Contrary to other polyester covers that resemble canvas, vinyl is a material that is extremely slick and is therefore simple to clean. Canvas will capture and hold mold and stains that are difficult to remove, as opposed to the sleek ALCO Vinyl custom furniture covers.
How strong are the covers?
18 oz vinyl is a very strong and long-lasting material, in fact, it is the same material that is used on the semi trailers to cover their cargo! As you can imagine, the abuse the material can endure on the highway is extreme, and if they didn't hold up, the truckers would not use them. That is why 18 oz vinyl is one of the strongest covers that you can purchase.
My cover will be used indoors. Which material is ideal?
The 600D material is the perfect material for indoors or even outdoors if its mostly in the shade and not in harsh conditions.
Common Questions
Custom Birdcage & Aviary Covers – Frequently Asked Questions
What do AKON birdcage and aviary covers protect against?
They shield birds and enclosures from drafts, bright light, dust, and splashes while reducing stress. Outdoors, vinyl skins also protect against rain, snow, UV, wind, and debris when the cage is not in use.
Which material should I choose—12oz or 18oz vinyl?
Choose 12oz vinyl for medium-duty indoor/outdoor use and easy cleaning. Choose 18oz vinyl for heavy-duty outdoor exposure, frequent handling, or high-wind areas. Both are waterproof and UV-stabilized.
Are the covers safe for birds?
Our materials are industrial-grade and made to be wipe-clean and low-odor after initial airing. As with any new product, allow the cover to off-gas briefly before placing it on the enclosure and prevent birds from chewing on edges.
Do the covers allow ventilation?
Yes. Request mesh vents or side window openings to maintain airflow. We can position vents away from prevailing winds and add flap covers to balance draft control with ventilation.
Can I get blackout or light-filtering options for sleep?
Yes. Opaque vinyl and polyester help darken the enclosure for rest. We can add removable blackout panels or roll-up flaps to fine-tune light levels for sensitive species.
How do I measure my cage or aviary?
Measure width (Side A), depth (Side B), and height (Side C) in inches. Include seed guards, domes, playtops, stand bases, handle loops, feeder doors, and external perches you want covered. We add slack on all sides except height.
Can you add doors or access panels for feeding and cleaning?
Absolutely. Add zippered or hook-and-loop flaps aligned with feeder doors, litter trays, or perch openings. We can include clear windows to view the birds without removing the cover.
Are clear windows available so I can see the birds?
Yes. Optional clear vinyl windows or side window openings can be placed where you need visibility while keeping other sides opaque for calm and privacy.
How do I secure the cover so birds can’t lift it?
Choose hem drawcords, under-cage straps with side-release buckles, or reinforced grommets to tie to the stand. These features help prevent shifting and discourage escape attempts.
How do I clean the cover?
Wipe with mild soap and water, rinse, and air dry fully. Avoid harsh chemicals and abrasive pads. For stubborn spots, use a soft cloth or sponge and test cleaners on a hidden area first.
What colors are available?
Black, Brown, Blue, White, Tan, Red, Navy Blue, Yellow, Olive Green, and Gray (availability varies by material). Darker tones are popular for sleep covers.
Do you offer custom logos, labels, or identification pockets?
Yes. We can add printed logos, text, or clear ID pockets for species notes, medication schedules, or owner details—useful for aviaries, rescues, and clinics.
What is the lead time, warranty, and shipping policy?
Most orders ship in 10–12 working days after confirmation. Vinyl covers include a 5-year warranty; polyester covers include a 3-year warranty. Free shipping on orders over $150.
How is pricing determined and are bulk discounts available?
Pricing depends on size, material, and options such as windows, vents, and tie-downs. Quantity discounts are available for breeders, sanctuaries, and facilities—request a custom quote.
