Why Pallikaranai properties need pigeon nets for buildings
Damp air from the wetland accelerates corrosion, so stainless or coated fittings are worth the extra cost. Spikes, gels and sprays only move pigeons for a short while, and the birds soon return to the building ledge.
Nesting material, feathers and dead chicks block drains, vents and ducts near the building ledge. Tall apartment towers near the marsh have exposed upper-floor balconies where wind loads are high.
Our pigeon nets for buildings installation approach in Pallikaranai
For buildings we work from rope access or a platform, netting each ledge or void in turn. Net panels are fixed to the frame with stainless-steel hooks so there are no gaps a bird can squeeze through. The net is tensioned so it stays taut and does not flap, which also keeps it neat and quiet in the wind.
Whether it is large gated apartment communities or IT-employee housing complexes, we walk the whole space first and note every gap a bird could use.
We walk the building and mark ledges, sunshades and voids before quoting.
Materials we use for pigeon nets for buildings
Typical materials on a pigeon nets for buildings installation are Knotless HDPE or nylon pigeon net, UV-stabilised binding cord, Stainless-steel hooks and clips and Corrosion-resistant fixing screws.
One more local factor: The marshland, a major bird habitat, means more crows, egrets, cormorants and kites in the surrounding sky than most suburbs.
What to ask any installer before you agree:
- Ask whether the net can be lifted or opened for cleaning windows and AC servicing.
- Ask for knotless nylon or HDPE netting, which is gentler on birds and stays tauter than knotted net.
- Choose mesh of about 40 to 50 mm for pigeons, since a larger mesh lets small chicks slip in.

A little regular care keeps pigeon nets for buildings working for years in Pallikaranai:
- Keep plants and hanging items clear of the net so nothing tears or stretches it.
- Check for tears or loose hooks after storms and repair them promptly.
- Avoid feeding pigeons nearby, because a regular feeding point draws flocks back to the area.
