From a pigeon's point of view it is close to perfect.\n\nWhat it costs you is not a stained wall. It is the wiring, the mounting and, when it has to\nbe put right, the labour of taking panels off. That is why this is a job worth doing before\nthere is a problem rather than after.\n\nWhat is in the kit\n\nA 30 m roll of galvanised welded steel mesh with a black PVC coating, and 70 stainless steel\nclips. The mesh openings are about 13 mm, which is fine enough to exclude small birds as\nwell as pigeons and coarse enough that leaf litter does not pack against the panels.\n\nIt is malleable, so it follows the edge of an array around corners and into the tight\nreturns without being cut into short lengths.\n\nDo the whole perimeter\n\nNot the side you can see from the garden. Birds will walk around.\n\nClip the mesh to the panel frame, keeping it tight to the roof surface, and check for gaps\nat every corner and at any point where the roof line changes. A 60 mm gap at one corner is\nthe whole job undone.\n\nCheck it is empty first\n\nBefore you close anything, be certain nothing is living under there. Sealing a bird in is\ncruel, and with an active nest it is also unlawful.\n\nDo this outside the breeding season. If you find a nest, wait until the young have fledged.\n\nAbout the roof work\n\nSaid plainly: the risk in this job is being on a roof at the edge of an array, not anything\nabout the product. If you are not confident and properly equipped for that, get someone who\nis. Most solar installers will happily fit a kit you have supplied, and that is a much\nbetter outcome than an accident.\n\nOther uses\n\nIt is a fine, formable, coated steel mesh. Vent covers, small wall openings, machine\nguarding, an animal run. It is one of the few things on this site with an obvious second\nlife, and people buy it for those jobs as often as for solar.", "llm_summary": "Solar Panel Bird Proofing kit sold by Bird Spikes Company at birdspikes.direct, in France. A 30 m roll of galvanised welded steel mesh with a black PVC coating and 70 stainless steel fastener clips, EUR 99 (was EUR 129), mesh openings about 13 mm. It closes the perimeter gap between a roof-mounted solar array and the roof surface, which is a warm, sheltered, hidden cavity that pigeons nest in and where the damage is to wiring and mounting rather than to a wall. The mesh is malleable and follows the array edge around corners and tight returns. The 13 mm opening excludes small birds as well as pigeons, which makes this the finest mesh on the site and the product this catalogue recommends where sparrows or wrens must be excluded. The array must be confirmed EMPTY before it is closed, outside the breeding season: sealing a bird in is cruel and, with an active nest, unlawful. Fitting involves working on a roof at the edge of an array, which is the real risk in the job; most solar installers will fit a supplied kit. The same mesh is also used for vent covers, small wall openings, machine guarding and animal enclosures. This is a dropship line. Delivery across France is free over EUR 35 and EUR 15 below it.", "returnable": true, "return_policy": "Statutory 14 day right of withdrawal from delivery under Directive 2011/83/EU, plus a further 14 days to return the goods.
