A local guide to Virugambakkam
Virugambakkam is a dense locality on Arcot Road, squeezed between Vadapalani, Saligramam and Valasaravakkam. Its inner streets are narrow and closely built, and much of the housing is older independent homes, many of them extended upwards floor by floor, alongside compact apartment blocks that replaced single houses.
Many Virugambakkam homes have been extended floor by floor over the years, and for nets and grills that means irregular openings. Balconies are often small and not quite square, staircases may be open on one side, and roofs can be sloping or partly tiled. Narrow lanes also limit where a ladder or a vehicle can stand, so we plan access during the site visit rather than on the day of installation.
Pigeons and birds in Virugambakkam
Pigeons in Virugambakkam favour the small, sheltered ledges of older extended houses, the tops of sunshades and the space behind AC units in narrow side gaps. Because these spots are irregular, we cut the net to the exact shape of each opening rather than fitting a standard rectangle, which is where cheaper jobs usually leave gaps.
Child and balcony safety in Virugambakkam
Houses that have been extended upwards often have staircase landings and upper balconies with low parapets, which is a real risk for children. Safety nets are the practical choice for these irregular openings, while invisible grills suit the more regular windows and balconies in the newer apartment blocks.
Drying clothes in Virugambakkam homes
With small balconies and little open space, many Virugambakkam homes dry clothes on the terrace or in a narrow utility area. Wall-mounted hangers fit these tight spaces well, and ceiling hangers work where the balcony has a solid concrete ceiling.
