Why Sholinganallur properties need pigeon nets for windows
Wetlands and open plots along the corridor bring plenty of crows and kites to the towers. Pigeons roost on a sheltered window within days of it being left open, and each pair can raise several broods a year.
Spikes, gels and sprays only move pigeons for a short while, and the birds soon return to the window. Many residents are working couples away all day, so a tidy installation completed in one visit matters.
What we see in Sholinganallur
Sholinganallur is the point where the OMR (Rajiv Gandhi Salai) meets the East Coast Road link, and it has become one of the densest clusters of high-rise housing in Chennai. Towers of fifteen floors and more stand next to the ELCOT IT Park and other tech campuses, and many residents are IT professionals and young families.
On the upper floors of Sholinganallur towers, pigeons nest behind AC units and in balcony corners, especially where balconies stay unused during the working day. Because wind at height is strong, we tension nets firmly and use more anchor points than on a low-rise building, so the net does not sag or flap over time.
Our pigeon nets for windows installation approach in Sholinganallur
For windows we net the whole opening or the ledge, depending on whether you need the window to open. We seal every edge, corner and junction with the wall, because pigeons search for the smallest gap. Net panels are fixed to the frame with stainless-steel hooks so there are no gaps a bird can squeeze through.
Whether it is high-rise gated apartments or independent houses in newer layouts, we walk the whole space first and note every gap a bird could use.
We check hinges, sliders and grills so the net never traps or restricts a working part.
Materials we use for pigeon nets for windows
Typical materials on a pigeon nets for windows 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: IT-corridor high-rises have long exposed balconies at height, where wind pressure on nets and cables is substantial.
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.
