This page explains how affiliate links work on backyardhandbook.com.au and how we approach recommendations.
Affiliate links (how they work)
Some pages on this site contain affiliate links. This means:
- If you click an affiliate link and make a purchase, we may earn a commission
- You pay the same price (we don’t add fees)
- Affiliate commissions help fund the time and costs involved in running the site (research, hosting, and content creation)
We only include affiliate links where we think they help readers find a relevant product or compare options more easily.
Our approach to recommendations
Backyard Handbook aims to publish practical, criteria-led backyard advice. When we recommend products, we try to:
- Explain who a product is suitable for (and who it isn’t)
- Share decision criteria (not just “best” lists)
- Highlight trade-offs and common issues to watch for
- Update content when models change or information becomes outdated
No guarantees
Backyard conditions, animals, and products vary. We don’t guarantee outcomes, performance, or results. Always use your judgment and follow manufacturer instructions and local regulations.
Sponsored content
If we publish sponsored content (paid placements), we will clearly label it as sponsored.
