Why Medavakkam properties need bird nets for buildings
Medavakkam's rapid apartment growth means many towers have unenclosed balconies and duct shafts that attract nesting pigeons. Droppings and food scraps on the building ledge attract flies and ants, creating hygiene problems.
Birds tear at cables, insulation and soft furnishings around the building ledge, causing repair costs. Nearby wetlands and lakes support big crow and myna populations that visit balconies and ledges.
What we see in Medavakkam
Medavakkam has grown rapidly over the past two decades, spreading out from Medavakkam Junction along the Velachery–Tambaram Road and the roads towards Sholinganallur and Jalladianpet. New apartment complexes and independent houses in fresh layouts make up most of the housing, and construction is ongoing across the area.
New apartment blocks in Medavakkam often have open duct shafts and unenclosed utility balconies, which pigeons quickly take over. We recommend dealing with ducts and balconies at the same time, and we measure each opening carefully because newer buildings do not always have even parapets or straight edges.
Our bird nets for buildings installation approach in Medavakkam
Building-scale bird netting is planned floor by floor and fixed to the structure with stainless anchors. Net panels are cut to fit the space, then fixed with stainless hooks so there are no gaps to squeeze through. Access flaps or zips are added where cleaning or servicing is needed.
Whether it is new apartment complexes or commercial buildings on the main road, we walk the whole space first and note every gap a bird could use.
We identify the species and the areas where they nest and feed, then plan around those.
Materials we use for bird nets for buildings
Typical materials on a bird nets for buildings installation are UV-stabilised HDPE or nylon bird net, Knotless netting for smaller mesh, Stainless-steel hooks and clips and Weatherproof binding cord.
Worth knowing: Fast construction leaves some buildings with uneven parapets, so nets need careful site-specific measurement.
What to ask any installer before you agree:
- Choose UV-stabilised HDPE or nylon so the net stays flexible and strong outdoors.
- Check the installer has fitted nets on similar structures, since fixing methods differ between homes and sheds.
- Match the mesh to the bird: roughly 25 mm for sparrows and mynas, larger mesh for pigeons and crows.
What affects the cost of bird nets for buildings in Medavakkam

- Complex shapes and obstructions, like pipes and AC units, add time.
- Finer mesh for sparrows costs more than larger mesh for crows or pigeons.
- Removing an old net or clearing nests before installation may be quoted separately.
