What is hangar bird netting?
Hangar bird netting is a physical exclusion system installed to prevent birds from accessing interior and exterior areas of aircraft hangars and similar structures. It protects rafters, trusses, and overhead spaces where birds often roost.
Why is bird netting important for hangars?
Birds in hangars create sanitation and safety issues. Droppings damage surfaces, contaminate equipment, and create slip hazards. Netting keeps birds out of overhead areas, protecting assets and reducing ongoing maintenance.
Which bird species are commonly excluded with hangar netting?
The most common species controlled in hangar environments include pigeons, house sparrows, European starlings, and seagulls. These birds roost in open overhead structures and can form large, persistent groups.
Can bird netting be installed without interfering with operations?
Yes. Netting installations are coordinated with facility management to minimize disruption to aircraft movement, maintenance workflows, and daily operations.
How does hangar bird netting work?
Hangar bird netting is installed structurally around high-risk areas like ceilings, trusses, rafters, and open bays. It forms a physical barrier that blocks bird access while maintaining full operational clearance.
Is netting suitable for all types of hangars?
Professional netting systems can be customized for virtually any hangar size and layout, including large corporate hangars, commercial maintenance hangars, and military aviation facilities.
Does bird netting damage hangar structures or equipment?
No. When installed by trained professionals, bird netting is anchored safely to existing structural points and designed to avoid contact with aircraft or equipment while remaining durable and long-lasting.
How long does hangar netting last?
Commercial-grade bird netting is engineered to withstand industrial environments, UV exposure, and climate conditions typical of Midwest states. With proper installation, it provides long-term protection.
Do you provide netting solutions for other large overhead structures?
Yes. In addition to hangars, similar netting systems are used in warehouses, bridges, terminals, parking garages, and other large overhead facilities where birds create problems.
How do facilities get started with hangar bird netting?
The process begins with a site assessment to evaluate bird pressure, structural layout, and access points. From there, a tailored netting plan is developed and installed for maximum exclusion and operational efficiency.
