Post and Wire is a discreet, low visual impact solution that is ideal for use on high profile buildings and structures where effectiveness versus appearance is a factor that must be carefully considered.
Once installed Post and Wire can be quickly refurbished after building decorations or alterations, without having to remove the entire system. Wires, springs and crimps can be de-mounted, prior to works commencing and reinstated or replaced at minimal expense to the owner, after works are complete.
Post and Wire systems are not appropriate for combating high-pressure bird infestations, where birds are roosting overnight or nesting.
Post and Wire can be used to proof against pigeons and gulls on light-to-medium-pressure infestations (surface mount system – light pressure only). It can also be used against Corvids (Crows, Ravens, Jackdaws, Rooks and Magpies using the gull version of the system).
Post and Wire systems are Ideal for use on ledges, parapets, signs, beams, parapet copings, pipes, hand rails, gutters & roof ridges etc
Post and Wire systems provide the perfect solution for ornate building façades where the anti-perch system’s visual impact is an important factor to be taken into consideration. It is also a very economical method to use on deep ledges and sills where anti-perch spikes may be too costly.
The basic concept is to place thin stainless steel wires, tensioned with springs, just above the ledge or other feature used by the birds. The wires present a physical barrier to the birds’ normal landing behaviour and even if they do find a way to land, the unstable feel of the spring-loaded wires will deter all but the most persistent birds.
The wires are usually held in position by vertically mounted stainless steel posts, but numerous other fittings have been developed to enable the system to be used in many different situations.
The components used for the pigeons and gulls differ in that larger and more robust components are required for gulls.
