Pestrol Heavy Duty Bird Netting 68GSM – 10m x 20m

Professional-Grade 19mm Bird Netting – 200m² Coverage

The Pestrol Heavy Duty Bird Netting 68GSM – 10m x 20m provides a substantial 200m² of professional-grade bird exclusion netting, making it ideal for large gardens, orchards, crop protection, warehouses, factories, loading areas and permanent commercial bird-proofing installations.

Manufactured from 600 Denier / 6-ply high-density polyethylene (HDPE), this heavy-duty netting features a strong knotted and twisted construction designed for long-term outdoor and commercial use.

The fine 19mm x 19mm square mesh maintains consistent dimensions in both directions, helping simplify measuring, tensioning and installation across larger areas. Its black, low-visibility finish also helps the netting remain discreet once correctly installed.

With its 10m x 20m rectangular format, this size is particularly practical for long growing areas, orchard rows, large roof sections and commercial spaces where broad, continuous coverage can reduce the need for multiple smaller net sections and joins.

Physical Bird Exclusion for Larger Areas

Pestrol Heavy Duty Bird Netting works by creating a physical barrier that prevents birds from accessing the protected area.

Rather than relying on sound, movement or visual deterrents, correctly installed netting removes access altogether.

This makes it particularly useful for locations where birds repeatedly:

• Enter buildings
• Roost or nest in structures
• Access fruit and crops
• Enter warehouses or factories
• Shelter beneath roof structures
• Access loading and storage areas

Once correctly installed, the netting provides continuous protection without batteries, electricity, poison or electronic components.

Why Choose the 10m x 20m Size?

The 10m x 20m net provides 200m² of coverage, making it particularly suitable for larger-scale installations.

Its rectangular proportions work well where the protected area extends considerably further in one direction.

Ideal applications include:

• Large vegetable gardens
• Berry-growing areas
• Orchard rows
• Fruit-growing enclosures
• Commercial greenhouses and growing structures
• Long roof sections
• Large sheds
• Warehouses
• Factories
• Loading docks
• Commercial courtyards
• Industrial structures

Using a larger continuous sheet can also help reduce the number of joins required, creating a cleaner and more straightforward installation.

19mm x 19mm Square Mesh

The netting features a fine:

19mm x 19mm square mesh

The relatively small openings create a consistent physical barrier suitable for bird-exclusion applications where larger mesh may provide insufficient protection.

Unlike diamond-shaped netting, square mesh maintains consistent dimensions in both directions.

This makes the netting easier to:

• Measure accurately
• Position
• Align
• Tension
• Cut to shape
• Install across larger spans

Square Mesh Helps Simplify Installation

Square mesh becomes particularly valuable as the size of the installation increases.

Netting that stretches or distorts unevenly can become difficult to tension accurately across a large area.

The Pestrol Heavy Duty netting is designed to resist pulling disproportionately in either direction, helping maintain its square configuration during installation.

This can provide:

• More accurate installation
• Consistent tension
• Cleaner edges
• Reduced distortion
• Easier measuring
• Potentially reduced installation time and labour

These advantages are particularly relevant for warehouses, factories and other professional bird-proofing projects.

Heavy-Duty 68GSM Construction

At 68 grams per square metre, this netting provides a strong yet relatively lightweight material for permanent bird-control installations.

The net is manufactured from 600 Denier / 6-ply HDPE, with six strands of UV-treated polyethylene twine used in its construction.

The filaments are twisted and knotted, then pressure stretched and tightened during manufacture to provide a consistent finished mesh.

Construction Details

• Material: High-Density Polyethylene (HDPE)
• Material weight: 68GSM
• Denier: 600
• Construction: 6-ply
• Number of strands: 2 x 3
• Construction type: Knotted / twisted
• Twine thickness: Approx. 1.0mm
• Mesh size: 19mm x 19mm
• Breaking strength per strand: 15kg
• Colour: Black

UV Stabilised for Long-Term Outdoor Use

Permanent netting may remain exposed to New Zealand weather throughout the year.

This includes exposure to:

• UV radiation
• Strong sunlight
• Rain
• Wind
• Heat
• Cold
• Seasonal weather changes

The HDPE material is UV stabilised, making it suitable for long-term outdoor bird-exclusion installations.

The manufacturer provides a 10-year guarantee against manufacturing defects and defects caused by UV breakdown.

Correct installation, tensioning and maintenance remain important for the overall lifespan of the completed netting system.

Low-Visibility Black Finish

With 200m² of material, keeping the finished installation visually discreet becomes particularly important.

The combination of:

• Black HDPE
• Approx. 1mm twine
• 19mm mesh

helps create a low-visibility barrier that becomes considerably less noticeable when viewed from a distance.

This is particularly beneficial for commercial buildings, orchards and residential properties where effective bird control is required without creating an unnecessarily prominent visual barrier.

Does Not Absorb Water

HDPE does not absorb water.

This means rain does not cause the netting itself to become waterlogged and materially change its properties.

The material is also:

• Rot-proof
• Non-conductive
• Stable in sub-zero temperatures

These characteristics help make it suitable for permanent exposed installations.

Orchard & Crop Protection

The 10m x 20m format is particularly useful for horticultural applications.

With 200m² available, the netting can form part of an appropriately supported enclosure protecting:

• Fruit trees
• Orchard sections
• Berry crops
• Vegetable crops
• Garden produce
• Larger growing areas

For permanent horticultural installations, the netting should be properly supported and tensioned rather than loosely draped over plants or trees.

This creates a more effective barrier and helps minimise potential wildlife-entanglement risks.

Warehouse & Factory Bird Control

Birds entering warehouses and factories can create ongoing problems around:

• Storage areas
• Rafters
• Roof structures
• Loading areas
• Machinery
• Building services
• Work areas

Heavy-duty netting can be used to physically prevent access to these areas while still allowing airflow and visibility.

The 10m x 20m size provides substantial coverage for larger internal or external exclusion projects.

Loading Docks & Commercial Buildings

Loading docks and covered commercial areas can provide birds with shelter and convenient elevated roosting locations.

The netting can be incorporated into an appropriately designed support system to close off these areas while allowing normal operations to continue.

Potential applications include:

• Loading docks
• Commercial verandahs
• Building voids
• Roof spaces
• Courtyards
• Storage areas
• Covered workspaces
• Plant and equipment areas

Permanent Orchard Cover

The combination of 68GSM construction, 6-ply HDPE and UV stabilisation makes this netting suitable for appropriately designed permanent orchard structures.

Its 10m x 20m rectangular dimensions can also be particularly practical for covering longer rows or sections of growing areas.

For larger orchards, multiple sheets or one of the larger available netting sizes may be required.

Suitable for Zipper Access

The square mesh construction allows appropriately designed zipper access points to be incorporated into professional bird-netting installations.

This is especially useful in commercial and industrial areas where the protected zone contains:

• Lighting
• Electrical equipment
• Building services
• Machinery
• Maintenance points

Zipper access allows technicians to enter the protected area without dismantling the surrounding netting.

Any access system should be correctly installed so that the bird barrier remains complete when closed.

Rope Marker Ties

The netting includes rope marker ties at the corners.

On a large 10m x 20m sheet, these markers make it easier to identify the corners and establish the correct orientation during unpacking and installation.

Installation Considerations

Correct installation is essential for effective bird exclusion.

Before fitting the net:

1. Measure the complete area requiring protection.
2. Identify all bird entry points.
3. Plan the supporting structure and fixing points.
4. Determine how the 10m x 20m sheet will be positioned.
5. Allow sufficient material for perimeter fixing.
6. Plan around corners, obstacles and penetrations.
7. Determine whether maintenance access is required.
8. Tension the netting appropriately.
9. Inspect the finished installation for gaps.

Particular attention should be given to edges, corners, joins and structural penetrations, as birds may exploit openings left around the perimeter.

Correct Tension Is Important

Heavy-duty netting should be properly supported and tensioned rather than simply hung loosely across an area.

Correct tension helps:

• Maintain the square mesh
• Prevent excessive sagging
• Keep the net clear of equipment
• Create a cleaner appearance
• Maintain an effective exclusion barrier
• Reduce potential wildlife-entanglement hazards

For substantial commercial installations, professional installation may be appropriate.
