INSTALLING BIRD NETTING
Installing a net up to 10m by 10m When installing bird netting is important to make sure the design of the installation is as effective as possible at keeping birds off the building whilst not looking obtrusive. It is important to ensure that installed nets should minimise the risk of damaged caused by the wind. Net installations will vary depending on what bird species you are proofing against and what you are attaching the net to e.g. masonry, timber, steelwork or cladding/soft substrate, and the size of the net. Below is a step-by-step on how to install a pigeon net up to 10 x10m

To install the net, attach one corner of the net to the corner fixing using a corner tie.
Hogring each square to the wire rope, ensure the net is pulled tight and square. Attach the other 3 corners using net corner ties. Trim off any excess net
Repeat steps 3-6 for the other three sides.

For nets larger than 10m x 10m The main difference for installing a larger net is that you will need to install corner fixings every 10m to distribute the weight of the net. You may also need to install additional cross wires to prevent the net from sagging in the middle e.g. 20m x 10m nets.
