Bird Netting
Bird netting provides a long-term solution to prevent birds from roosting and nesting in unwanted areas. Proper installation ensures durability and full coverage.
Step-by-Step Guide to Installing Bird Netting
1. Measure the Installation Area
- Ensure the netting covers all edges to prevent birds from squeezing behind it.
- Identify any gaps in the structure where birds could still gain entry.
2. Select the Right Materials
- Use 2 mm stainless steel cables for strong support.
- Anchor cables securely to walls, beams, or other sturdy structures.
3. Plan for Access & Safety
- If installing at height, use a boom lift or scissor lift.
- Consider zippers or detachable clips for accessing lights or equipment behind the net.
4. Secure the Netting to the Cables
- Attach the net along one side first, then progressively clip it to the other sides.
- Use ring clips every 100 mm to ensure a firm hold.
- For large nets over 3×3 meters, install intermediate support cables to prevent sagging.
5. Secure the Corners & Tension the Net
- Pay special attention to the corners, as they bear the most tension.
- Ensure even stretching to keep the net taut and effective.
6. Consider Structural Strength
- Ensure the mounting points can handle the cable tension.
- Use appropriate fittings for masonry, steel beams, or sheet metal.
7. Plan Installation Timing
- Install on a weekend if the area has high pedestrian or vehicle traffic.
- A full installation may take at least one full day.
Expert Tips for Effective Bird Netting Installation
- Use UV-resistant netting for durability in outdoor conditions.
- Ensure proper anchoring to prevent sagging or movement.
- Regularly inspect the netting for damage and maintain tension.
- Block alternative ledges or perches nearby to prevent birds from moving.
