About bird nets for balconies in Pune
Balconies attract far more than pigeons: crows scavenge, sparrows nest and mynas hunt insects along the railings.
For balconies we fix the net into the slab and walls and add a flap for watering plants. We check plants and pots, and leave a way to reach them without opening the whole net.
Bird nets for balconies in Pune: local conditions
Pigeons are a well-known concern for Pune housing societies, both for the mess they leave on balconies, ducts and parked vehicles and because of the health worries linked to dried droppings. They favour dry balconies, AC ledges and open duct shafts. A properly sealed net closes these spaces without harming the birds, and netting the duct along with the balcony stops them simply moving next door.
Pune lies about 560 metres above sea level on the eastern side of the Western Ghats. The south-west monsoon brings heavy rain from June to September, summers are hot and dry, and winters are cool. Nets need to be UV-stabilised for the summer sun and fitted with stainless fixings for the long wet season. Being inland, 304-grade stainless steel is normally enough for invisible grills.
Pune's housing is organised around co-operative housing societies, from the older low-rise buildings of Kothrud, Aundh and Sahakar Nagar to the large gated townships of Hinjewadi, Wakad, Baner, Kharadi and Hadapsar. The IT parks at Hinjewadi, Kharadi and Magarpatta have driven a wave of high-rise construction, and neighbouring Pimpri-Chinchwad has grown just as quickly.
When Pune homes need bird nets for balconies
The main reasons people book bird nets for balconies are:
- Nest material blown by wind clogs gutters, drain outlets and vents near the balcony.
- Scare devices and reflective tape lose their effect after a few days once birds get used to them at the balcony.
- Crows and mynas repeatedly visit an open balcony, searching for food, nesting spots and shiny objects.
