28mm Starling Netting - Black - Made To Order
Cost-Effective Starling Deterrent Netting
Our Black 28mm Starling Netting is an excellent solution for keeping pesky starlings away from your property.
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 knotted net design has been used for added durability, ensuring it holds up in demanding environments.
Additionally, the bird net material is made from high-quality polyethylene that's 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) Prepare Tools and Materials
- Gather basic tools, straining wire, and anti-bird netting. Ensure you have the required fixings (eyebolts, pins, rivets, rackets) for installation.
Step 2) Install the Wire Perimeter
- If installing on buildings, start by setting up a wire perimeter around the area to be protected.
- Install main bird net fixings (eyebolts) every 10m and at points where the wire changes direction.
- Add intermediate net fixings (pins, rivets, or rackets) at suitable intervals depending on the bird species you're protecting against.
Step 3) Set Up and Tension the Wire
- Begin a new run of wire from each main fixing.
- At one end, loop the wire through the eye of the main fixing and secure it using 2 ferrules or 2 wire rope grips.
- At the other end, loop the wire through the eye of a hook/eye barrel strainer. Attach the hook end of the strainer to the main fixing.
- Tension the wire as needed. For runs over 10m, add tensioned cross-wires for additional support.
Step 4) Attach the Anti-Bird Netting
- Use a cable tie to secure the corner of the net to a corner fixing.
- Hog ring each mesh to the wire, ensuring the net is tight and square.
Step 5) Check for Gaps
- Inspect the net to ensure there are no gaps or holes that birds could squeeze through. Tighten and adjust as necessary to provide complete protection.

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 in better with the surrounding environment, offering visual appeal, particularly in public areas.
Why is a 28mm Mesh Size the Most Effective Starling Deterrent?
The 28mm mesh size is specifically designed for smaller birds like starlings. 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?
Measure the full area you wish to cover, adding extra for fixing and securing. If you're unsure, contact our team and we’ll be happy to help.
Can the Starling Netting Be Reused or Relocated?
Yes, absolutely. Our Black Starling Netting is durable and flexible enough to be reused or moved as needed, provided it’s removed and stored properly.
