Prevent bird infestation in facilities and degradation of vineyards, orchards, and other crops as enclosures covered by bird netting allow light and moisture in. Useful for any situation where birds need to be excluded from an area.
I put 2 pieces of Bird-X Bird Netting over my 50' X 20' popcorn garden to prevent bird damage. I also put up a fence to exclude groundhogs. The net extends over the top of the fence. I was surprised to see the groundhogs climb the metal fence to enter the garden, so I sewed the edges of the Bird-X to the top of the fence. The groundhog climbed the fence and the Bird-X to reach ears 6' off the ground! He could scrape the husk off the ears through the Bird-X, but no strand of the Bird-X bird netting failed, and the corn was undamaged! Next year, I may skip the fence and use bird netting to protect the garden. Thanks, Roger
Based on information obtained from your site, I have solved my pigeon problem by covering the entire opening to my balcony with bird netting attached to a 2 by 2 frame. Lynda
We currently use Bird-x bird netting to keep both Birds and Deer from eating our Roses. We are planning to re-do this structure as soon as we find 20 foot pieces of ¼" or smaller Fiberglas shaft to replace the white pipe. This structure is enclosed with Bird-x bird netting on the top and sides, dimensions are roughly 15 feet wide, 70 feet long and reaches a height of about 15 feet in the center. If you want an action shot, it'll take a little while to coax a deer into view. Thanks for a great product!. We also are using one of the "Scarecrow's" to ward off deer from a flower allegedly not liked by deer. This is the first year we have had the opportunity to see its blooms. David H Monmouth, Oregon
HOW TO INSTALL: Each job is different and demands some on-site ingenuity. The four most common application techniques have pictures in the pdf.
Wire and Polyclips: Often used on concrete, brick or steel structures. Polyclips easily fold over wire and snap together through netting spacing 1’ – 3’ apart depending on job. Case of 250 Polyclips from Bird-X, part # MTG-CASE $108. Epoxy Caulk: High quality epoxy caulk is readily available at local hardware stores and has been successfully used on concrete brick and steel. Or, Special Adhesive (for caulking gun) from Bird-X, part #SSA, 1 tube, $8. Plastic Band & Staples: On wood structures a plastic banding has been manually woven into netting skipping every 4 or 5 strands. This allows stapling to a solid surface rather than a single netting strand. Wood Lathe Strip: Installations of bird netting on wooden structures can easily be accomplished using wood lathe strips and nails.
How long will netting last? Once installed, durability will depend on the amount of exposure to sunlight. The bird netting is stabilized with chemical additives designed to give many years effective life.
Why not use the lower-cost Standard, instead of Structural BirdNet? With most installations, labor is the major cost factor, not netting itself. Heavier Structural BirdNet bird netting is better insurance against sunlight and mechanical damage over the years. Lighter-weight Standard BirdNet is often acceptable on inside jobs, such as warehouse ceilings.
Where has BirdNet been used? Among satisfied users are Arlington Park Race Track, Kansas City Airport, McGuire AFB, Langley AFB, Lesters, Inc. (modular agricultural buildings) and many others.
How do you cover widths wider than 14’? Jobs requiring wider widths can be easily handled by running a wire and using polyclips to fasten bird netting to both sides, or by splicing bird net together manually using a high quality UV treated twine and a plastic needle.
