About pigeon nets for buildings in Pune
Multi-storey buildings have sunshades, cornices and parapets that give pigeons ready-made roosting galleries.
Facade work follows a floor-by-floor plan, with edges sealed to the structure and panels overlapped for full coverage. We plan work with the building manager or committee to keep residents safe and informed.
What matters for pigeon nets for buildings in Pune
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.
Why pigeon nets for buildings matters in Pune
The main reasons people book pigeon nets for buildings are:
- Nesting material, feathers and dead chicks block drains, vents and ducts near the building ledge.
- Droppings on the building ledge damage paint and corrode metal, and dried droppings become airborne dust.
- Pigeons roost on a sheltered building ledge within days of it being left open, and each pair can raise several broods a year.
Installing pigeon nets for buildings step by step
This is how a pigeon nets for buildings installation normally proceeds:
- 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.
- The net is tensioned so it stays taut and does not flap, which also keeps it neat and quiet in the wind.
Materials and what to look for
We normally use Knotless HDPE or nylon pigeon net, UV-stabilised binding cord, Stainless-steel hooks and clips and Corrosion-resistant fixing screws. Before you choose any installer, ask about the following:
- Choose mesh of about 40 to 50 mm for pigeons, since a larger mesh lets small chicks slip in.
- 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.
Pricing pigeon nets for buildings: the main factors
We do not quote by phone without seeing the space, because prices depend on the job. The main factors are:
- Awkward shapes, such as around AC units and pipes, take longer to fit and finish.
- The area to be covered in square feet is the main factor, with larger areas costing less per square foot.
- Height and access matter, since upper-floor work may need rope-access or a suspended platform.
