Bird Netting

Bird netting is one of the most effective and versatile long-term exclusion methods available for commercial and industrial properties. Absolute Bird Control designs, fabricates and installs professional bird netting systems across Melbourne and Victoria, tailored to your building, your bird pressure and your specification requirements.

What is Bird Netting?

Custom-Fabricated, Professionally Installed

Effective bird netting is not an off-the-shelf product. Every installation we carry out is designed and fabricated to suit the specific dimensions, structure and access requirements of the site.

Whether it is a warehouse roofline, a commercial building facade, a covered walkway, or a rooftop plant area, we engineer the netting system to fit precisely and perform over the long term.

We use commercial-grade, UV-stabilised polyethylene netting with stainless steel fixings and tensioning systems, selected for durability in Australian conditions. All installations are completed by our specialist team to a standard that satisfies commercial building specifications, with minimal visual impact on the building facade or structure.

Built to Specification

We work directly with architects, facility managers and building maintenance teams to design netting systems that meet project specifications, comply with access requirements and integrate cleanly with the existing structure.

Permanent Exclusion, Not a Temporary Fix

Unlike repellents or deterrents that require ongoing reapplication, a professionally installed netting system provides long-term exclusion. Once birds cannot access an area, the problem is resolved at its source.

Benefits & Suitability

Where Bird Netting Works

Bird netting is suitable for a wide range of commercial, industrial and architectural applications. It is particularly effective where other deterrent methods are insufficient, where large areas need to be excluded, or where a clean, permanent finish is required.

Bird control to prevent health risks from pest birds

Large Open Structures

Warehouses, distribution centres, loading bays and open-span industrial buildings are among the most common applications for large-scale bird netting. Netting can be installed across internal rooflines and rafters, or at entry points such as roller door openings, to prevent birds from roosting or nesting inside the structure.

Commercial Building Facades

Ledges, parapets, balconies, atriums and architectural recesses on commercial buildings create ideal roosting and nesting environments for pigeons and other pest birds. Netting installed across these areas provides a permanent exclusion solution that does not compromise the presentation of the building.

Roof & Plant Areas

Rooftop plant rooms, mechanical equipment enclosures, solar panel arrays and flat roof areas are frequently targeted by nesting birds. Netting systems designed for these areas prevent access to equipment and structures while maintaining access for maintenance personnel.

Covered & Semi-Open Spaces

Car park structures, covered walkways, outdoor dining areas and building atriums present access challenges for other exclusion methods. Netting can be installed vertically, horizontally or diagonally to suit the geometry of these spaces, providing complete exclusion without structural modification.

How We Work

A Clear, Compliant Process

Step 1: Site Inspection

We conduct a thorough site assessment to identify the bird species, roosting and nesting locations, access requirements and structural constraints. For commercial and specification-driven projects, we liaise directly with facility managers, architects or building managers as required.

Step 2: Custom Design & Quote

We produce a tailored netting design with material specifications, fixing details and access provisions, along with a written, itemised quote. Where required for commercial or industrial sites, we provide a Safe Work Method Statement prior to works commencing.

Step 3: Installation

Our specialist installation team fabricates and installs the netting system to site, working to minimise disruption to building occupants and operations. All work is completed to a commercial standard with clean, discreet fixings and tensioning.

Step 4: Ongoing Support

We stand behind every installation. If your netting system requires adjustment or follow-up, we return to make it right. We can also provide periodic inspections for commercial clients with ongoing compliance or maintenance requirements.

Compliant With Australian Workplace Standards

Every bird netting installation is completed by a fully licensed, insured and height-certified specialist team, in accordance with Australian workplace health and safety standards and relevant industry requirements.

What Our Clients Say

Frequently Asked Questions

Commercial-grade bird netting, correctly installed with quality fixings and tensioning hardware, is designed for long-term performance. Lifespan depends on the environment, UV exposure and bird pressure, but professionally installed systems typically perform well for many years with minimal maintenance. We select materials suited to Australian conditions and the demands of the specific site.

When correctly specified and installed, bird netting is low-profile and visually unobtrusive. We use fine-gauge, low-visibility netting where presentation is a priority, and all fixings and tensioning hardware are selected to integrate cleanly with the building facade or structure. For commercial and specification-driven projects, we can provide material samples and design drawings prior to installation.

Yes. Our installation methods are designed to avoid structural damage. Fixing points are selected to suit the substrate and approved by the project team where required. For heritage or sensitive buildings, we discuss fixing approaches during the site assessment.

Yes. We install bird netting for residential balconies, rooftops and courtyards as well as commercial and industrial properties. The same principles of custom fabrication and professional installation apply regardless of scale.

In most cases, we recommend removing existing birds, nests and waste before netting is installed to prevent trapping and to allow the area to be cleaned. We can include bird waste removal and nest clearance as part of the same scope of works.
