Bird netting from 5 mm wildlife-safe to 40 mm commercial exclusion

Bird netting & exclusion

From a 5 mm wildlife-safe diamond to 40 mm commercial exclusion

Bird netting is the simplest form of crop insurance: a physical barrier that keeps birds off fruit, feed and structures without harming them. The specification is decided by the bird, the structure and how long the net stays up.

Our range covers lightweight diamond mesh for home gardens and small blocks, X-weave 40 and 60 g/m² for orchard canopies, knotted 19 mm 6-ply and 9-ply HDPE for commercial and industrial exclusion, 40 mm 12-ply for pigeons and gulls, and fire-retardant knotted net for warehouses and atriums. Aviary mesh and by-the-metre repair netting complete the line.

Every roll is HALS stabilised and available in black, white or grey. Black is the least visible against foliage; white is more visible to birds and reduces collision risk in open structures.

Overhead canopy

Posts at 8–10 m, perimeter wire, net laid over and tensioned with a rope border. The standard for commercial orchards: machinery passes underneath, net stays up for the season.

Draped side net

Net thrown over the tree or row and tied at the base. Cheaper and faster for small blocks, but slower at harvest and harder to mechanise.

Structure exclusion

Warehouses, atriums and hangars are sealed at openings and roof voids with knotted net on cable grids. Fire-retardant net is normally mandatory here — check local building codes.

Getting the tension right

A net that flaps wears at the eyelets and scares birds into it. Tension to the point where the net does not move in a light breeze, and leave a 5% allowance on very long spans.
