10m x 10m Starling Net - Black
Ready-to Use 10m x 10m Net for Starling Deterrent
Our Black 10m x 10m Starling Netting is an excellent solution for keeping pesky starlings away from your property, or for constructing aviaries.
With a mesh size of 28mm, it's designed specifically to prevent these birds from entering or nesting in buildings and gardens, and also for use as aviary bird netting. This mesh size is perfect for starlings as it doesn't trap or harm them, but simply deters them from entering or landing.
The precut 10m x 10m size makes it ready for immediate installation, or for cutting and reshaping yourself as needed. It’s great for use in gardens, balconies, rooftops, and any other large outdoor areas where starlings may pose a problem.
A Robust & Heavy Duty Starling Net Choice
We’ve used a precise knotted design for this starling net, offering added durability so you get more use from your bird net.
Additionally, the high-quality polyethylene is chemically inert, rot-proof, and UV-stabilised, providing you with the confidence that it will withstand the elements and offer reliable protection for many years.

Starling Netting Installation Guide
Step 1) Installing a Wire Perimeter
If installing our 10m x 10m Starling Netting on buildings, the first step is installing a wire perimeter around the area being protected.
-
Before installing a perimeter wire, install the main bird net fixings (eyebolts) every 10m and wherever the wire will change direction.
-
Intermediate net fixings (pins, rivets & rackets) should be installed at appropriate intervals for the bird species being proofed against.
-
Once fixings have been installed, start a new run of premier wire from each main fixing.
-
The wire should be looped through the eye of the main fixing at one end and secured in place using 2 ferrules or 2 wire rope grips. At the other end, the wire should be looped through the eye of a hook/eye barrel strainer.
-
The hook end of the strainer should then be attached to the eye of the main fixing.
-
The wire can then be tensioned accordingly. Tensioned cross-wires may be required for runs over 10m.
Step 2) Installing the General Purpose Netting for Anti-Bird Use
-
To start fitting the anti-bird netting, use a cable tie to attach the corner of the net to a corner fixing.
-
From there, every mesh should be hog ringed to the wire, ensuring the net is tight and square. This ensures there are no gaps and that birds are prevented from gaining entry through small gaps and holes.

FAQs
Why is Black a Good Colour for Starling Netting?
Black is usually the standard colour choice for starling netting as it is less visible and blends better with the surrounding environment. In public areas, this may be more attractive so as not to stand out.
Why is a 28mm Mesh Size the Most Effective for Deterring Starlings?
A 28mm mesh is specifically designed for these smaller birds. We wouldn’t recommend any larger than 30mm for starlings, as they will then be able to squeeze through the gaps and defeat the purpose of the deterrent.
How Do I Measure How Much Bird Netting I Need?
