Proofing Explained
The principal of the netting system is that a steel wire known as a wire rope is fitter around the perimeter of the area where the net is to be installed. The wire is attached at the corners to netbolts using special crimps; the tension being applied through the use of barrel strainers. Intermediate fixings are installed at regular intervals to keep the wire close to the structure. UV stabilised net is then attached to the wire with hog rings.
Nets are available in a range of mesh sizes to proof against different bird species, and different colours to minimise visibility in sensitive locations.
We offer two types of nets, a traditional knotted 12/6 polyethylene net or high tenacity knotless polypropylene net, much lighter yet stronger. Both nets are UV stabilised and are likely to resist UV degradation and withstand range of environmental conditions to give a working life of 10 years or more if correctly installed and maintained.
Regular maintenance will also ensure that proofing system is in good order and greatly extend its lifespan.
Solar Panels – Protection from Birds and Nesting
Feral pigeons and many other bird species are attracted to solar panels as they offer warmth and shelter. Birds can build nests underneath; acidic droppings can corrode the supports, wires and connectors. Dust, debris and bird droppings will affect the panels’ performance therefore removal of birds from the roof will improve their efficiency.
From our experience we know that that the best proofing method to exclude pigeons from nesting underneath the solar panels is by using mesh and clip system. We also know that forcing (wedging) the steel mesh into the gap could damage the panels and therefore it is not good practice.
