Frequently asked questions
What mesh size stops pigeons?
28-32 mm stops pigeons; choose 19 mm if smaller birds are also a problem.
Is transparent net worth the premium?
On view-facing balconies, yes - from a few feet away it practically disappears.
Do you need scaffolding?
No - trained installers work on harnesses from the balcony itself in most buildings.
