Birds are great to watch at a distance. But when they take up residence in and around your property, they cause frustrating damage and are a risk to your health. Sometimes the bird netting from Bunnings option can seem like a quick and easy fix, and netting is an effective way to keep out birds.
However, before you pick up a tape measure or head to Bunnings, there are a few things to consider about DIY installation that will impact how well your bird netting works, how good it looks and how long it lasts.
Bird netting Bunnings – not the most effective option
So, you’ve decided to get rid of the birds yourself. We understand the temptation! But here are some things to consider before you commit any money to your project.
Bird species
Do you know what species of bird you’re dealing with, and what potential problems could arise depending on the species? Different species of birds require different kinds of netting. Bigger birds require pigeon netting, while others require smaller netting. The problem is that Bunnings only has one size of bird netting, and it’s not particularly well constructed.
Netting installation
Remember the time you bought a bookcase and had to put it together yourself? And remember how much trouble you had, even with the instructions? Well, the bird netting Bunnings sells doesn’t even come with instructions. If you install bird netting incorrectly, it won’t keep the birds out. Birds can be crafty, and if there are any weak spots, they will find a way in. Bunnings has no warranty on their bird netting, so if it doesn’t work, you’re losing potentially hundreds of dollars.
Aesthetics
When installing bird prevention netting, your number one priority is going to be to keep the birds out. But installing bird netting yourself while also keeping your property beautiful can be very tricky. If you don’t really know what you’re doing, you could end up with quite the eyesore.
