Bird Netting Fixings and Installation

Bird netting can be installed onto masonry, timber, sheet metal cladding and structural steel. The appropriate corner and intermediate fixings will depend on the substrate and mesh size being installed.

Intermediate fixing spacing also varies according to the mesh size. For detailed fitting instructions, fixing intervals and required tools, see our Bird Netting Installation Guide .

Maintenance and Warranty

When correctly installed and tensioned, bird netting requires minimal maintenance. Installations should be inspected periodically for damage, sagging or other issues that could affect the integrity of the system.

PestFix bird netting is supplied with a 10-year limited manufacturer's warranty against failure caused by UV degradation or manufacturing defects.
