Bird protection net - the reliable defence against birds

Bird protection nets from Aquagart - different types of nets

Bird protection nets are sold in our online shop in various designs with accessories. These are high-quality products, made in Germany, of professional quality. Our bird protection nets measure 8 m x 8 m and consist of two polyethylene threads that are firmly woven together. They can be purchased in packs of 2, 3 and 4. The price depends on the quantity of bird protection nets ordered and is between 15 and 60 euros. Our bird protection nets are tear-resistant, weatherproof and UV-stable. They are very light and therefore also keep small birds away from fruit trees and bushes.

In addition to bird protection nets, you can also find other types in different sizes and mesh widths depending on your requirements:

• Light pond nets: 3 - 30 m length (depending on net width), 6 - 12 m width, mesh size: 17 mm x 17 mm.
• Robust pond nets: 3 - 40 m length (depending on net width), 6 - 16 m width, mesh size: 15 mm x 15 mm

We recommend using accessories such as our cable ties and net anchors to attach the bird nets. A net anchor is particularly suitable for securing the bird protection net in the ground around the fish pond. It is made of UV-resistant plastic, is very tear-resistant and durable. Its barbs also ensure a better hold in the ground and therefore a secure attachment of the bird protection net.

Bird protection net for reliable bird defence

Most bird species have their offspring in spring. During this time, the bird nets are particularly important, as the birds like to help themselves to everything in the garden to feed the little ones. Large birds of prey, such as the grey heron, which is a protected species, find a full fish pond without a bird protection net just right. He can help himself there without having to do much hunting. Once the grey heron knows where there are enough food supplies, it will keep coming back until everything has been fished out.

To prevent this, it is advisable to secure the area with a bird protection net. Because: Herons observe a fish pond for a while before they feel confident enough to strike. To prevent the heron from landing in the first place, it is advisable to cover the shallow water zones of larger ponds in particular with a bird protection net. In addition, a planted bank zone or other decorative objects deter fish predators from landing. Of course, the bird protection net is most effective when the entire fish pond is covered.

Protecting plants with bird nets

Bird netting also provides reliable protection from birds, which like to see seeds, fruit and tender plant parts from your fruit trees, shrubs and seedbeds as part of their diet. Starlings in particular like to nibble on cherry trees. However, bird protection nets with a smaller mesh size are particularly suitable in this case so that smaller bird species are also kept out. Depending on the bird protection net, it protects your plants and harvest from all bird species. The bird nets can also be easily attached to the balcony, preventing unwelcome bird droppings on garden furniture.

Bird netting also offers protection against other animal pests such as rodents, which like to feed on the fruit of your plants. By using bird netting, you create a physical barrier between the plants and potential threats.

How to use bird netting correctly

Our bird nets are easy and uncomplicated to use and protect fruit trees in particular from unwanted predators. The lightweight bird protection nets are suitable for protecting the garden pond from leaves, herons and other birds of prey. They can also be used to cover trees, shrubs, beds and silos. To determine the optimum size for the bird protection net, you should always buy it a few metres larger so that it can be secured properly and there is still some room for it to sag. This lightweight version of a bird protection net can also be used to span large fish ponds without the need for supports. In addition to covering, this fine and light-meshed bird protection net is also suitable for covering seedbeds, fruit trees and shrubs. The bird protection net also keeps small birds out and is intended for one-year use.

The robust bird protection net, on the other hand, is heavier than the lightweight bird protection net. This has the same properties as the lightweight bird protection net, but is particularly close-meshed and designed for long-term use. Thanks to the narrow meshes, this variant provides particularly reliable protection against leaves.

Fitting bird protection nets correctly

Bird protection nets should be stretched over the pond immediately after the ornamental fish have been introduced and secured with net anchors and cable ties. Herons in particular often discover new prey after just a few hours if the pond is in their hunting area anyway. If it then has a suitable landing site in the garden, nothing stands in the way of the festive feast.

The right time to put up bird netting for fruit trees is after the blossom season. Firstly, you should determine the required size of the bird protection net by measuring the height of the crown diagonally along the sprouting of the branches and then calculating the net size accordingly all round. Then it is best to take the bird protection net in one hand and carefully pull it over the tree together. You should use a ladder for tall trees. It is important that all leaves and fruit are covered up to the stem. Then you should attach the bird protection net around the trunk
