After drilling the holes or fixing the clamps or magnet fixings on the four corners, start applying the wire to cross all the corners and make a structure for the net to be put on. Lastly, place the net on the wire so that it covers the whole balcony, cut any excess so that there is no entry point for the birds.

How to Fix Bird Net in Balcony

Bird netting is one of the most often utilised strategies for protecting structures from all types of urban bird pests. Its popularity stems from the fact that, if properly placed, it is essentially the only system that can be used with confidence in areas where there is a high degree of bird infestation and where birds roost at night.

1. Corner fixes should be installed at every corner or every 10 metres along a straight course.

2. Install intermediate fixings at 1 metre intervals for 75mm and 50mm nets, 0.5 metre intervals for 40mm and 28mm nets, and 0.3 metre intervals for 19mm nets in a straight line between the corner fixes.

3. Run 10m of wire rope through one side's fasteners.

4. One of the wire ends should be looped through the corner fixing and secured with two copper ferrules or two wire rope grips.

5. Thread the free end of the wire rope through the eye of an opening barrel strainer attached to the other corner fixing. Tighten the wire rope. 2 copper ferrules or 2 wire rope grips are used to secure the rope.

6. Tighten the barrel strainer to tension the wire.

7. Steps 3–6 should be repeated for the other three sides of the area. Additional diagonal support wires may be required for larger nets.

8. To secure the net to the rope, use a netting corner tie to secure one corner of the net to the corner fixing. Ensure that a netting corner tie is put around the mesh and the corner fixed when you reach each corner.

9. Hog ring each mesh square to the wire rope around the edge to ensure the net is pulled tight and square.
