proofing against all birds
Bird netting is our most commonly installed bird proofing product. It can be used in a wide variety of situations and is the only form of proofing that can exclude birds from an area entirely.
It is suitable for all species of birds.
about bird netting
The installation of bird netting is a very effective way of denying birds access to certain areas where they may be nesting or roosting.
Netting is made from knotted polyethylene and comes in a variety of colours. The size of the holes depends on the species of bird being proofed against, with 50mm being the most common for pigeons.
Netting is attached to a tensioned steel staining wire running around its perimeter. This keeps the netting tight and square and ensures the netting is as discreet as possible.
Netting is the most versatile form of bird proofing available. It can be installed vertically to keep birds away from buildings or balconies, horizontally to prevent them from entering light wells or flying up into roosting spots in a canopy, or, using specially designed brackets to hold the netting above head height, even be used to enclose whole areas such as roofs.
installation
Fixings are attached at 500mm intervals around the perimeter of the area to be netted. A steel wire rope is then threaded through these fixings and then tensioned using a barrel strainer. The netting is then attached to this wire rope using a special kind of staple called a ‘hog-ring’.
A wide variety of fixings are available for netting, which means it can be attached to virtually any material, including masonry, metal, plastic, cladding, slate, roof tiles, and even glass.
