Katusevõrgud

Katusevõrgud, translated as roof nets, are protective mesh structures installed on building roofs. Their primary purpose is to prevent birds, particularly pigeons, from perching or nesting on roof surfaces, eaves, and ledges. These nets are typically made from durable, weather-resistant materials such as nylon or polypropylene, designed to withstand outdoor conditions.

The installation of katusevõrgud is a common bird control method employed in urban and suburban areas where bird populations can cause damage to buildings and create unsanitary conditions. By creating a physical barrier, the nets deter birds without harming them. They are often seen on historical buildings, public facilities, and residential properties.

The effectiveness of katusevõrgud relies on proper installation, ensuring there are no gaps or weak points that birds could exploit. They are typically stretched taut and secured to the roof structure or surrounding elements. Maintenance may involve occasional cleaning to remove debris and ensure the integrity of the netting. While primarily used for bird deterrence, similar netting systems can sometimes be adapted for other protective purposes on roofs.
