A broad category and a specific bird-exclusion use

Bird netting is a broad description for netting intended to exclude birds from an opening. Pigeon netting describes the same kind of exclusion approach selected specifically for pigeons. The names alone do not establish the material, mesh gap, strength or fixing method.

A customer asking for bird netting might mean protection against pigeons or a smaller bird. A customer asking for pigeon netting has identified the target bird, but the material and fitting still need to be specified. Compare the written product and installation scope, not just the label.

Target birds determine the mesh requirement

Not automatically. Smaller birds can pass through openings that exclude pigeons. Tell YPL which birds are entering and show the opening so the mesh and layout can be assessed. A pigeon-net label is not a promise of exclusion for every species.

Selection depends on the target birds, opening dimensions, exposure, fixing surfaces and access needs. Confirm the quoted mesh, material and fixing scope in writing. Colour and a photograph cannot establish the brand, grade or certification.

The opening and its perimeter matter

Bird netting can be assessed for balconies, terraces, building ducts, ledges and openings near outdoor AC equipment. The surrounding structure, access requirements and complete perimeter determine the practical layout. Do not obstruct necessary maintenance or emergency access.

A balcony, terrace enclosure or duct opening may have different edges, pipes and supports. Measure each open face. The floor area of the apartment is not the area of bird netting required. Confirm access for cleaning and equipment servicing before agreeing the scope.

Pigeon-net rates are not a price for every bird-net system

The owner-confirmed pigeon-net rates are ₹8–₹16 per sq.ft for material and ₹18–₹45 per sq.ft with installation, plus 5% GST. Measure opening width and height, not the apartment floor area. These are pigeon-net rates, not a quote for every bird species or special enclosure.

YPL is a Garware & Tufropes dealer and uses Garware nets with a test certificate. Ask which product is specified in your quote and request its applicable certificate. A brand name alone does not confirm suitability for every opening or purpose.

Humane exclusion and separate safety requirements

Do not seal birds, chicks or active nests behind netting. Check the opening before installation and seek appropriate local wildlife advice if birds or nesting activity are present. Arrange the work so animals are not trapped; no universal legal permission is implied.

Bird exclusion, child or pet safety and fall protection are different requirements. Bird netting is not automatically suitable for supporting a person or preventing a fall. Keep proper railings and supervision; never climb, sit, stand or test a net with body weight.

Checks after fitting

From a safe indoor position, look for damaged mesh, loose edges or opened access points. Keep the area clean without climbing outside or leaning on the net. Ask YPL to assess repairs rather than improvising external fixes.

Discuss the required access before fitting. Plan maintenance access for AC equipment, pipes, drainage and windows without leaving uncontrolled bird-entry gaps. Keep doors, building access and required escape routes usable.
