Heavy-duty anti-bird netting is a professional-grade exclusion solution. It is designed to protect crops, fruit, and property from avian pests. Unlike lightweight alternatives, this product is manufactured from high-density polyethylene (HDPE). This construction provides superior structural integrity and longevity. Netting serves as a robust barrier against birds such as pigeons and sparrows. It ensures effective pest control in domestic gardens and commercial environments.
The material is UV stabilized, so it remains resilient against solar degradation for many years. This netting is a definitive choice for fruit cages, vegetable crops, and building protection.

Our solution incorporates several critical features designed for reliability and ease of use.
• Weather Resistance: UV-stabilized HDPE is impervious to rain, frost, and sun exposure, extending product life
• Optimal Mesh Size: The 20mm configuration effectively stops birds from entering fruit cages or roosting on buildings while allowing pollinators to pass
Applications: Fruit Cages
The primary application is for the coverage of fruit cages, delivering durable protection to safeguard trees and bushes from scavenging birds.
Fruit Cage Roof Netting
This netting is sufficiently robust to serve as a long-lasting solution, withstanding the weight of wet leaves better than lighter grades. For installation on a roof, ensure the mesh is taut to prevent sagging.
Side Protection
For the vertical sides, this option provides a secure perimeter. The mesh ensures that even small birds cannot squeeze through to reach valuable crops. Using a rugged material on the sides also prevents larger animals from tearing it.
Applications: Garden and Vegetable Protection
Beyond fruit cages, this versatile netting is suitable for general use in gardens and allotments.
• Raised Beds: Create hoop structures and drape netting to protect vegetable crops and flowers from unwanted birds
• Fruit Trees: Drape the mesh directly over trees (using a frame) to prevent access to produce
• Allotments: Essential for holders looking to secure their harvest against persistent avian threats
• Ponds: Can be used to cover water features, preventing herons from accessing fish and leaves from accumulating
Applications: Building and Commercial Protection
In commercial settings, birds can cause damage and hygiene issues. Netting is a standard method for proofing buildings and preventing avian intrusion.
• Roosting Prevention: Install protective mesh over alcoves, roofs, and ledges to prevent pigeons and sparrows from nesting
• Façade Protection: Black finishes are discreet and protect stonework from corrosive bird droppings
• Warehouses: Use netting to block entry points in large structures, keeping birds out of internal spaces
Installation Guidelines
Achieving effective protection requires correct installation. This product allows for a relatively easy setup if proper procedures are followed.
Measuring and Cutting
We supply netting in various widths and lengths. When ordering, measure both dimensions and allow extra material for securing the edges. The mesh can be trimmed to shape using sharp scissors. Cutting will not cause the mesh to unravel.
Securing the Netting
To install the product on cages or frames:
• Drape it over the roof and sides of the structure.
• Pull the mesh taut, removing any slack to prevent birds from becoming entangled.
• Use cable ties or netting clips to secure it to the framework.
• Peg the edges down at the base to prevent birds from walking underneath.
When fitting for a fruit cage roof, ensure the width is sufficient to span the entire roof without excessive joining.
Benefits of Heavy-Duty Netting
Investing in this grade of netting offers distinct advantages over lighter alternatives.
• Longevity: Although the initial price may be higher, the durable nature of quality materials means annual replacement is unnecessary
• Safety for Wildlife: Rigid, taut installation reduces the risk of trapping birds and other animals, unlike loose, flimsy nets
• Structural Integrity: Ensuring constant protection for crops and gardens
• Efficiency: Provides a permanent solution to pest control, reducing required maintenance labour

Frequently Asked Questions
Is this netting suitable for keeping out butterflies?
The 20mm mesh size is designed for birds. While it may stop larger butterflies, smaller insects can pass through. For full insect protection, a finer mesh is recommended.
Can I use this for a fruit cage roof?
Yes, this product is suitable for use as a roof covering due to its high tensile strength and durability.
How do I join pieces of netting?
If coverage is wider than our standard rolls is required, strips can be joined securely using twine or cable ties.
Is netting safe for birds?
When installed under proper tension, the mesh acts as a barrier rather than a trap. Loose or poorly installed netting poses a greater risk of entangling wildlife.
