Installation Guide
Step 1) Installing a Wire Perimeter
If installing our General Purpose 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.
