Birds can Reduce the Value of 
Your Crop by Half


Bird protection

Bird damage can be a problem in horticultural crops.  Bird netting is becoming more widely used in improving control of bird strikes over many crops.  For example nashi pears, berry fruit, wine grapes, table grapes and many more.

The structure is a flat net structure supported by cables and poles.  The sides are either bird net or wind break cloth that go to the ground to stop ground hopping birds.

Benefits include the creation of a microclimate with reduced evaporation, reduced wind rub and reduced damage to new growth.  This will result in reduced stress for the tree or crop, a more controlled spray environment and reduction of sunburn.

Further benefits of bird netting are it works against large and small birds, and acts as a wind break so giving added benefits.  Bee movement is not restricted so pollination is not impacted. 

The cloth used is chemical resistant and UV stabilised for long life.

Peter Smith Contractors can design and construct bird netting for your specific needs.

No job is too large or too high.
