On Farm Bird Netting Solutions

Farm sheds full of machinery are really attractive to birds. The shed rafters offer a dark and protected place for nesting for an assortment of birds. And as they fly in and out, droppings accumulate on stored machinery, marking & corroding the paintwork, as well as creating a mess that needs to be cleaned up.

Sometimes, cockies and parrots will destructively pick away at hoses and plastic parts on stored machinery, causing damage that can be both expensive and time consuming to repair.

Depending on the design of your shed, it may be possible to set up a bird net to enclose the opening when machinery is not being moved in and out.

If you’d like to install the netting yourself, you can buy the netting direct from us, plus any install components you need. We’ll help you with some installation suggestions, and then the rest is over to you.

Bird netting for Warehouses

Warehouses with large covered outdoor loading docks are particularly attractive to birds, which can pose significant problems if not properly managed. Installing bird netting is an effective solution to mitigate these issues. Birds can create slipping hazards on loading docks by leaving droppings that make surfaces dangerously slick. This not only increases the risk of workplace accidents but also raises concerns related to occupational health and safety (OH&S).

Moreover, bird droppings can carry diseases that pose health risks to employees, making it crucial to minimize exposure. The presence of birds can also lead to contamination of goods, both during the loading and unloading processes and for items stored within the warehouse. This contamination can damage products and lead to costly losses or returns.

Additionally, the accumulation of bird droppings necessitates extra cleaning, increasing maintenance costs and requiring more labour. Bird netting effectively prevents birds from accessing these areas, thereby reducing the need for frequent cleaning and helping to maintain a safer, more sanitary work environment. By investing in bird netting, warehouses can enhance safety, protect their inventory, and lower overall maintenance expenses.

Keeping Birds out of Workshops

In workshops, where maintaining cleanliness and operational efficiency is crucial, bird netting serves as a vital preventive measure. Birds can cause numerous problems, from increasing the frequency of cleaning to potentially damaging machinery. The presence of bird droppings not only creates an unsanitary and unpleasant environment for workers but also leads to significant cleanliness challenges. Managing this mess requires frequent, labour-intensive cleaning, which can be both time-consuming and costly.

More critically, bird droppings can cause severe damage to equipment and machinery. The uric acid in bird excrement can corrode and erode machinery paint if left untreated. Over time, this can result in expensive repairs or replacements, adversely affecting the workshop’s efficiency and budget. Even minor deposits of bird waste can lead to significant damage if not addressed promptly.

By installing bird netting, workshops can effectively prevent birds from entering and contaminating work areas. This proactive approach helps maintain a cleaner, safer environment, reduces maintenance expenses, and protects valuable equipment from corrosive damage. Bird netting ensures a more pleasant and productive workspace while safeguarding machinery and minimizing long-term costs.
