Post and Wire
An unobtrusive pigeon or seagull deterrent that operates in a similar way to bird spikes.
Post and wire bird proofing
Post and wire bird control is a great alternative to the installation of bird spikes.
We can install post and wire on many types of surfaces including:
- Drainpipes and thin waste pipes.
- Brick or metal flat surface
- Arches and uneven surfaces
- Warehouse beams
- Window sills and ledges
- Gutter lines
Like all the products we install, post and wire is not designed to harm birds but to change their habits and deter them from landing on your property.
A bit about post and wire.
Post and wire can be installed to deter both pigeons and seagulls.
The post size and wire thickness differ for pigeons and gull installations.
If you are looking for a low visibility, discreet bird deterrent then post and wire is the perfect choice.
How we install post and wire systems to deter pigeons or seagulls.
Post and wire can be installed in various ways. Here are the most common installs we carry out:
Roof ridges – Here we install triangular brackets which each has 3 splayed posts welded to them. Depending on the length of the ridge a few brackets may be required to support the wire.
Brick ledges, window sills, flat surfaces – Covering the expanse of the surface we drill 25mm and insert a waterproof grommet into which we install the stainless steel posts.
Drainpipes, waste pipes – We install a specially adapted jubilee clip which has the posts attached to them. These are tightened around the drain pipe.
Gutters – The post we use to protect gutters are fixed into place by a bracket which is tightened to the gutter. Depending on the pressure of the birds we will install either single or double run posts.
In all instances the stainless steel wire is then fed through the posts, tensioned with springs then clamped into place.
