Bird netting for eaves can close an open soffit or roof gap, but it must not seal ventilation. Identify the full opening and whether birds enter, perch or nest.
How to plan bird netting for eaves
Measure the opening, joists and access points. Use a supported, taut panel with closed edges and keep vents and drainage clear. Stop if an active nest may be present.
- Do not cover ventilation by accident.
- Fix mesh to sound framing.
- Inspect after storms.
Review bird protection netting or compare netting with spikes.
