Bird Netting
Installation Guide
Bird netting is an effective physical bird control solution used to prevent pest birds from accessing and nesting in protected areas.
Correct installation is essential to create a secure, fully enclosed barrier. From selecting the correct fixings and installing the supporting wire framework to attaching and tensioning the net, each stage plays an important part in the finished installation.

Preparing for a Bird Netting Installation
Before installation begins, the area should be assessed to determine the size and shape of the netting required, suitable fixing points and any obstacles or access requirements that need to be considered.
Careful planning helps ensure the netting can be installed securely and provides complete protection without leaving gaps that birds could use to enter the protected area.
Installing the Supporting Framework
A correctly installed supporting framework provides the foundation for the bird netting system.
The guide explains how to position perimeter and intermediate fixings and install the supporting wire so that the net can be securely attached and correctly tensioned.
Fitting and Tensioning Bird Netting
Once the supporting framework is in place, the netting can be positioned and attached.
Correct tension helps create a neat installation while preventing loose or sagging areas. Particular attention should be given to edges, corners, joins and areas around obstacles to ensure birds cannot gain access.
Maintaining Bird Netting
Bird netting installations should be inspected regularly for signs of damage, loose fixings, gaps or trapped debris.
Routine checks allow any problems to be identified and repaired before they compromise the protected area.
