50mm flame retardant pigeon netting is a specialised lightweight safety netting solution designed for environments where bird control and fire safety are both essential. Manufactured from knotted high-density polyethylene (HDPE), this netting incorporates flame-retardant properties while maintaining excellent visibility, airflow, and durability.
With a 50mm square mesh and 0.5mm thin twine construction, it provides an effective barrier against pigeons and larger pest birds without creating a heavy visual impact.
This product is commonly used in indoor and outdoor environments such as bridges, warehouses, shopping centres, car parks, and semi-enclosed structures where flame-retardant materials may be required.
Fire Safety Specifications
Flame retardant pigeon netting is designed to support safer installations in sensitive environments. The material conforms to BS 5867:1980 Part 2, making it suitable for applications where compliance with fire safety standards is important.
Unlike standard bird netting, this flame-retardant version is manufactured with specialised additives during production. These properties help reduce fire risk in areas such as loading bays, building interiors, and public-facing structures. .
Application as Pigeon Netting
The 50mm x 50mm mesh size is widely recognised as the industry standard for pigeon control. It prevents pigeons and similarly sized birds from accessing roosting areas while allowing natural light and ventilation to pass through.
This flame retardant pigeon netting is ideal for:
· Warehouse ceilings and industrial buildings
· Under bridges and walkways
· Shopping centres and public structures
· Over ponds where larger birds are present
· Fire escapes and enclosed architectural features
It provides a humane and effective bird control solution that helps protect buildings from fouling, damage, and associated health risks.
Material Durability and Construction
Constructed from knotted HDPE, this lightweight netting offers reliable strength without excessive weight. The knotted design helps maintain the integrity of the mesh, preventing it from unravelling if a strand becomes damaged.
Key material benefits include:
· UV stabilised for outdoor durability
· Chemically inert and non-absorbent
· Resistant to rot and environmental wear
· Flexible for easier installation
· Non-stretch construction to maintain consistent mesh size
The 0.5mm thin twine provides a discreet yet strong netting profile, making it suitable for locations where appearance matters as much as performance.

Installation Guidance
For best results, flame retardant pigeon netting should be installed using a perimeter wire rope system secured with hog rings or suitable fixings. Ensuring the netting is taut and correctly tensioned improves both bird exclusion performance and long-term durability.
Its lightweight construction allows it to span large areas such as ceilings or open structural gaps without placing excessive load on the building.
