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.

3 Step Bird Netting Installation Guide
Setting up your bird net is simple: you will build a wire frame around the area, then clip the net to the wire.
1. Place Your Fixings
- Put Main Fixings every 10 meters and at every corner/turn.
- Put Intermediate Fixings in a straight line between the main ones.
2. Run and Tighten the Wire
- Start: Loop the wire through your first main fixing and secure it with 2 grips or ferrules.
- End: At the other end, loop the wire into a barrel strainer, hook the strainer to the main fixing, and twist to tighten the wire.
(For runs over 10 meters, add a criss-cross wire for extra support).
3. Clip on the Net
- Use a cable tie to anchor the corner of the net to a corner fixing.
- Pull the net tight and square, then clip every single mesh loop to the wire using hog rings.
Quick Tips
- Stainless Steel vs Galvanised: We highly recommend Stainless Steel (304 or 316 grade). Galvanised wire is cheaper but will rust much faster.
- Get the Right Fixings: Make sure your screws/plugs match your surface (wood, brick, metal, or cladding).

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.

Our 28mm Black Starling Netting is usually dispatched within 7–10 days.
