Aviary netting serves two purposes: first, it prevents animals from escaping. Second, it protects them against wild birds and diseases carried by them, such as bird flu. However, when building an aviary, pay attention to the mesh size to make sure that the netting is as effective as possible.

Maille Store, a specialist in custom-made aviary netting

In its offer, Maille Store has a wide range of aviary netting models which will meet all your needs.

When choosing the mesh size, consider the kind of animals you want to stop. For instance, fine mesh netting is suitable for small birds, such as sparrows. It can be also used for larger species. However, the finer the mesh, the more expensive the netting. That is why we recommend considering your needs and choosing aviary netting that is suitable for a given purpose.
