Pigeon Safety Nets
Close the balcony to pigeons permanently, without harming a single bird.
Pigeon droppings are not just unpleasant — dried droppings carry fungal spores that are a genuine respiratory risk, particularly in an enclosed balcony a child plays on.
Deterrents move the problem a few metres. Exclusion ends it. A correctly tensioned net across the opening means there is no longer a roosting site, and the flock relocates within days. Nothing about it harms the birds.
The detail that matters is the perimeter. Pigeons will find and exploit a 60mm gap at a corner, and a badly fitted net simply traps them inside. We seal every edge.
- 50mm mesh — excludes pigeons, lets air through
- Every edge sealed; no gap for a bird to work at
- Humane exclusion, nothing that injures birds
- Existing nests and fouling cleared before fitting
- Transparent option is barely visible from the road

Pigeon Safety Nets — common questions
Is netting cruel to the birds?
No. Exclusion netting prevents access to a roosting site; it does not trap, injure or kill. The flock moves to another site within a few days. What is genuinely harmful is glue traps and poison, and we do not supply either.
What about birds already nesting there?
We clear existing nests and disinfect the area before fitting. Netting over an occupied nest would trap the birds, so this step is not optional.
What material are the nets made from?
Knotted high-density polyethylene, UV stabilised. HDPE is chemically inert, waterproof and does not degrade in sunlight the way untreated polypropylene does. Nets are tensioned on a stainless steel wire frame using screw pins, turnbuckles and hogging staples, so the installation stays tight rather than sagging after the first season.
How much does it cost?
Pricing starts from a base rate per square foot and varies by product — invisible grills cost several times more than netting. Use the estimate calculator for an approximate figure, then book a free site visit for an exact written quotation. Measurements taken over the phone are almost always wrong.
How long will the installation last?
Five years is typical for HDPE netting in direct sun, longer on sheltered elevations. Invisible grills last considerably longer — the stainless cable is the limiting component and it does not corrode. Sun exposure is what ages netting, not rain.
Can a bird cut through the net with its beak?
No. HDPE at the gauge we use cannot be cut by a pigeon or crow. The failure mode for bird netting is never the mesh — it is a gap left at the perimeter, which is why edge sealing is the part of the job that actually matters.
