Frequently Asked Questions

What is Bird Netting and How Does It Work?
Bird netting is a type of mesh material designed to keep birds away from specific areas, such as gardens, fruit trees, or buildings. It works by creating a physical barrier that prevents birds from accessing or landing in the protected area. The netting is typically made from durable materials like nylon or polyethylene and comes in various mesh sizes to suit different bird species and applications.

How Do I Install Bird Netting Properly?
To install bird netting, first, determine the area you need to cover and measure the dimensions accurately. Secure the netting to a frame or structure, ensuring it is tightly stretched to avoid gaps where birds could enter. Use stakes, clips, or ties to attach the netting and make sure it extends slightly beyond the area to prevent birds from reaching the edges. For large areas, you may need to overlap sections of netting.

However, it’s important to ensure that the netting is securely fastened and free of gaps that could potentially entangle or injure animals. Using high-quality netting and checking it regularly helps minimize any risks.
