Questions we get asked
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.
What mesh size do I need?
It depends on what you are keeping out. 50mm excludes pigeons and crows. 25mm is needed for sparrows, mynas and for child safety. 19mm is for the smallest birds. Fitting 50mm mesh against sparrows is the single most common mistake in this trade.
Do you remove the net for building painting?
Yes. We take the net down before facade work and refit it afterwards. Within the warranty period there is no charge for this beyond any material that needs replacing.
How long does installation take?
A typical balcony net is two to four hours. An invisible grill is usually a full day per balcony because it is measured, fabricated and then fitted. Full-building work is quoted with a phased schedule.
Is netting harmful to birds?
No. Exclusion netting removes a roosting site; it does not trap or injure. We clear any existing nests before fitting, because netting over an occupied nest would trap the birds. We do not supply glue traps or poison.
