Large-Scale Physical Bird Exclusion

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

Rather than attempting to frighten birds away, a correctly designed and installed netting system blocks access to the area altogether.

This makes physical exclusion particularly useful where birds repeatedly:

• Feed on fruit or crops
• Enter warehouses and factories
• Roost around roof structures
• Nest inside buildings
• Access loading docks
• Enter commercial growing areas
• Shelter inside covered structures
• Return to established problem areas

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

Why Choose the 10m x 50m Size?

The 10m x 50m net provides 500m² of coverage, making it particularly suited to extensive or elongated installations.

The long rectangular dimensions can be advantageous for:

• Orchard rows
• Commercial fruit-growing areas
• Long crop enclosures
• Nurseries
• Large horticultural structures
• Long warehouse sections
• Factory areas
• Loading docks
• Commercial roof areas
• Industrial structures
• Large barrier-netting projects

Where the dimensions suit the installation, using one large continuous sheet can also reduce the number of joins required compared with combining multiple smaller nets.

500m² of Continuous Coverage

At 500 square metres, this net is designed for projects requiring significant coverage.

The 10m width combined with the 50m length is especially useful for installations that are much longer than they are wide.

For example, it may provide a more efficient layout for long orchard or building sections than a large square sheet.

Before ordering, carefully measure the entire area requiring protection and account for the way the net will be supported, tensioned and secured.

Fine 19mm x 19mm Square Mesh

The Pestrol Heavy Duty Bird Netting features a fine:

19mm x 19mm square mesh

The relatively small mesh openings create a consistent physical barrier suitable for permanent bird-exclusion applications.

The square design means the mesh maintains consistent dimensions in both directions rather than stretching into a diamond shape.

This helps make the netting easier to:

• Measure
• Align
• Position
• Tension
• Cut
• Integrate into large permanent installations

Square Mesh for More Efficient Installation

Square mesh becomes especially valuable when working with a 50-metre-long sheet.

Netting that pulls or distorts disproportionately in one direction can become increasingly difficult to align over a large span.

The Pestrol square-mesh design is intended to resist this type of distortion, helping installers maintain consistent dimensions throughout the project.

Advantages include:

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

Heavy-Duty 68GSM Construction

The netting has a material weight of 68 grams per square metre and is manufactured from 600 Denier / 6-ply HDPE.

Six strands of UV-treated polyethylene twine are twisted and knotted together to provide a combination of strength and relatively low weight.

The mesh is also pressure stretched and tightened during manufacture to help produce a stable finished net.

Construction Details

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

UV Stabilised for Long-Term Outdoor Use

Permanent bird-proofing installations can remain exposed to changing weather conditions throughout the year.

This can include:

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

The HDPE material is UV stabilised for long-term outdoor use.

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

Correct installation, support and tensioning remain important to the long-term performance of the complete netting system.

Low-Visibility Black Finish

Covering 500m² with netting could potentially create a significant visual impact.

For this reason, the black construction is an important feature.

The combination of:

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

creates a low-visibility barrier designed to become considerably less noticeable when viewed from a distance.

This makes the netting suitable for properties where appearance remains important alongside effective bird control.

Does Not Absorb Water

HDPE does not absorb water.

The netting therefore does not become waterlogged simply because it has been exposed to rain.

It is also:

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

These characteristics make the material suitable for long-term outdoor and exposed installations.

Orchard & Commercial Crop Protection

The 10m x 50m format is particularly well suited to horticultural applications because its long shape can follow extended crop or orchard areas.

It can form part of an appropriately supported enclosure around:

• Orchard rows
• Fruit trees
• Berry crops
• Vegetable crops
• Commercial growing areas
• Nurseries
• Other bird-sensitive produce

Physical exclusion prevents birds from reaching protected crops rather than relying solely on scare devices or other deterrents.

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

Warehouse & Factory Bird Control

Warehouses and factories can provide birds with protected areas for roosting and nesting.

Common problem areas include:

• Rafters
• Roof structures
• Storage areas
• Building services
• Machinery
• Loading areas
• Elevated ledges

The 10m x 50m net can be incorporated into an appropriately designed exclusion system to prevent birds from entering or accessing these areas.

Its long dimensions make it especially practical for extended warehouse or factory sections.

Loading Docks & Commercial Areas

Loading docks and covered commercial areas can be difficult to protect because they often need to remain open during normal operations.

Heavy Duty Bird Netting can form part of a physical exclusion system around:

• Loading docks
• Covered work areas
• Commercial courtyards
• Storage areas
• Building voids
• Roof spaces
• Plant and equipment zones

The objective is to prevent birds accessing unwanted areas while maintaining normal site operations.

Permanent Orchard & Horticultural Structures

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

Its 50-metre length can be especially advantageous for long crop rows or elongated growing areas where multiple shorter sections would otherwise need to be joined together.

Suitable for Zipper Access

The stable square-mesh design allows appropriately installed zipper access points to be incorporated into professional bird-netting systems.

This can be useful where technicians need ongoing access to:

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

A properly installed zipper allows access without dismantling the entire surrounding netting system.

When closed, the access point should maintain the integrity of the bird-exclusion barrier.

Rope Marker Ties

The netting includes rope marker ties at the corners.

These help installers identify each corner during unpacking and establish the correct orientation before tensioning begins.

With a large 10m x 50m sheet, correctly identifying and positioning the net before installation can make handling considerably easier.

Installation Considerations

Large-scale netting installations require careful planning.

Before installation:

1. Measure the complete area requiring protection.
2. Identify all potential bird entry points.
3. Plan the support structure and fixing system.
4. Determine the orientation of the 10m x 50m net.
5. Plan the perimeter fixing points.
6. Identify corners, obstacles and structural penetrations.
7. Plan any required maintenance-access points.
8. Position and tension the net correctly.
9. Inspect the completed installation for gaps.

Particular attention should be given to:

• Perimeter edges
• Corners
• Joins
• Roof penetrations
• Pipes
• Structural connections
• Building services

A physical exclusion system works best when birds cannot find an alternative opening around the netting.

Correct Tension Is Important

The netting should be appropriately supported and tensioned rather than simply hung loosely across the protected area.

Correct tension helps:

• Maintain the square mesh
• Reduce sagging
• Keep netting clear of equipment
• Produce a cleaner finished installation
• Maintain an effective exclusion barrier
• Reduce potential wildlife-entanglement hazards

Given the 500m² size, professional installation is worth considering for commercial, elevated or complex projects.
