Why Tambaram properties need pigeon nets for windows
Railway junction crowds and shops feed large pigeon populations in the streets nearby. Repeated cooing and flapping near the window disturbs sleep, especially at dawn.
Droppings on the window damage paint and corrode metal, and dried droppings become airborne dust. Balconies in the older independent houses are often shallow, so the netting has to be measured precisely to fit.
What we see in Tambaram
Tambaram is one of Chennai's largest southern suburbs, built around its busy railway junction on the GST Road. It is home to the Tambaram Air Force Station and Madras Christian College, whose large green campus is one of the biggest wooded areas in the southern suburbs.
In Tambaram, homes near the railway junction and markets see the most pigeons, while those close to the college campus and green areas see more crows and parakeets. Shallow balconies in older houses need precise measurement, so we cut and fit each net on site rather than using standard sizes.
Our pigeon nets for windows installation approach in Tambaram
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. A final walk-round checks each anchor and seam for anything a bird could use as an entry point.
Whether it is independent houses or college-side residences, 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: Big campuses and abundant trees around Tambaram keep crow, myna and parakeet numbers high across the area.
What to ask any installer before you agree:
- Look for UV-stabilised material, so the net does not turn brittle and snap in Chennai's summer sun.
- Insist that every edge is sealed, because a partial net simply moves the birds to the gap.
- Ask whether the net can be lifted or opened for cleaning windows and AC servicing.

Keeping pigeon nets for windows in good shape
A little regular care keeps pigeon nets for windows working for years in Tambaram:
- Hose the net gently every few months to wash off dust and any stray droppings.
- Keep plants and hanging items clear of the net so nothing tears or stretches it.
- Avoid feeding pigeons nearby, because a regular feeding point draws flocks back to the area.
