Why Valasaravakkam properties need pigeon nets for balconies
The wide main road brings steady dust, so exposed steel cables and grills should be cleaned after installation. Droppings on the balcony damage paint and corrode metal, and dried droppings become airborne dust.
Repeated cooing and flapping near the balcony disturbs sleep, especially at dawn. Nearby IT campuses at Ramapuram keep apartment demand and construction activity high.
Local notes for Valasaravakkam homes
Our office is on Velan Nagar Main Road in Valasaravakkam, so this is the locality we know best, street by street. Valasaravakkam runs along Arcot Road between Virugambakkam and Porur, and most of its residential nagars began as independent houses on individual plots. Over the years many of those plots have been rebuilt as stilt-plus-four apartment blocks, so one street can have a single-storey house from the 1980s next to a brand-new five-level building.
In Valasaravakkam, pigeons tend to settle in the narrow gaps between closely built apartment blocks, on AC outdoor units and under the sunshades of older houses, where they are sheltered from both sun and rain. Because buildings stand so close together, one open duct or sunshade can become a nesting spot that affects several flats, so we often suggest covering the shared gap rather than a single balcony.
Our pigeon nets for balconies installation approach in Valasaravakkam
On a balcony we net from the railing up to the ceiling slab, so no gap remains above, below or at the sides. Net panels are fixed to the frame with stainless-steel hooks so there are no gaps a bird can squeeze through. A final walk-round checks each anchor and seam for anything a bird could use as an entry point.
Whether it is independent houses and duplexes or row houses in planned layouts, we walk the whole space first and note every gap a bird could use.
We check where the clothes line, plants and AC drain pipe sit, so the net leaves them accessible.
Materials we use for pigeon nets for balconies
Typical materials on a pigeon nets for balconies installation are Knotless HDPE or nylon pigeon net, UV-stabilised binding cord, Stainless-steel hooks and clips and Corrosion-resistant fixing screws.
Worth knowing: Many homes here are duplexes with open first-floor balconies that pigeons find easy to enter.
What to ask any installer before you agree:
- Choose mesh of about 40 to 50 mm for pigeons, since a larger mesh lets small chicks slip in.
- Ask whether the net can be lifted or opened for cleaning windows and AC servicing.
- Look for UV-stabilised material, so the net does not turn brittle and snap in Chennai's summer sun.
