Bird netting for garden ideas

Describes how to prevent birds from eating vegetables and fruit in a garden. Includes both shielding/netting methods and distraction/fright methods.

Polypipe cut at 7 metre lengths and threaded over star pickets makes the structure. We read about it on Scarecrows blog. The pipe was rural water pipe for drainage. Star pickets 5'6". We think 7 metres was the maximum you should cut it at as some of the pieces have bent over a bit under the heat and/or weight of the netting. We could drill holes in the top of the pipe and thread wire through. Tying off lengths the same distance apart as the star pickets. This would keep them evenly spaced…
