Quatra supplies a range of highly specific large mesh bird netting. These nets have specific applications that serve the primary purposes of:
- Excluding larger pest birds from property, such as Pigeons and Seagulls (40mm or 50mm Squares)
- Excluding Ducks from residential pools (60mm)
- Excluding larger predator birds from Commercial Aquaculture Farms and Residential Ponds (40mm, 60mm or 75mm)
- Being square mesh, they are simple to work with and cut to shape without fraying.
- Offer excellent strength to weight ratio. Ensuring you can have a strong net that can span a large area (without excess weight causing the net to sag)
- Offers strength without compromising visibility. They are difficult to see from a distance.
- Offers effective exclusion at a reasonable price (where more expensive smaller mesh nets are not required.

Aquaculture and Pool Bird Exclusion
How does bird exclusion netting affect water, light & air flow in pools / aquaculture systems?
The netting is designed to allow sunlight, rain, and airflow to pass through so water quality, gas exchange, and light penetration are maintained.
Because it uses large mesh sizes (like 40 mm in the product above), it excludes large birds but doesn’t fully block environmental elements.
In aquatic settings, good net tension and positioning help minimize contact with water surface and reduce wave interference.
What mesh size and material are best for excluding pigeons and seagulls over aquaculture or pools?
A 40 mm mesh is effective for excluding larger birds like pigeons and seagulls, while not being excessively restrictive for light / water flow. (As in Large Mesh (Pigeon / Seagull) Commercial Bird Netting 40 mm.)
Material should be UV-stabilised, abrasion-resistant polyethylene (or similar marine-grade polymer) to resist long exposure near water.
The net’s ply / line thickness matters - heavier / stronger line resists sagging, wind, and bird impact.
How do I properly install the bird exclusion net for pools / aquaculture to ensure it works well and lasts?
Use strong support posts, wires, or frames to tension the net above the water surface, preventing sagging.
Make sure all edges are sealed (with clips, rope, or anchor system) so birds can’t sneak underneath.
Consider adding peripheral storm or wind supports if the location is exposed.
After storms or extreme weather, inspect for tears or displaced netting and repair immediately.
When not in use (off-season), carefully remove, clean, fold, and store the net in a dry, shaded place to prolong lifespan.
