Estimating for Netting Hardware
One of the keys to a successful bird netting
installation is how well the netting is fastened. The following details will help you find the proper
quantities of netting hardware needed based on your
installation area dimensions. NOTE: Each netting
installation is different and some of the estimating
guidelines may not apply to your application. If you have questions or need help, please
Contact Nixalite.
BEFORE YOU CONTINUE; make sure you have accurate
measurements for the netting installation area. If you have
not measured for your bird netting, go to
Planning Your Bird Netting
Installation and use the guidelines to accurately
measure for your netting installation. You will also need to
know they type of netting hardware you want to use. If you are
not sure,
Contact Nixalite.
TIP: It will be easier to keep track of the hardware you
will need if you make a simple drawing of your netting
installation area. Apply the dimensions you recorded and mark
the locations where the netting hardware is needed.
Estimating for Poly Hardware
 |
PolyClips: for perimeter fastening.
- Flat Surfaces: space 12” o.c. along flat
perimeter.
- Curved Surfaces: space 6” o.c. along
curved perimeter.
- Add 1 Poly Clip for each corner or change in netting direction.
|
|
|
|
 |
Twist Locks: Joining netting together at
seams and cuts.
- Overlap seams: space 6" o.c along seams.
TIP: stagger along both sides of seam.
- Cuts, patches, panels: space 3” o.c. along edges of
any cut or patchwork.
|
|
|
|
 |
Net Ties: multi-purpose fastener, common
applications listed below.
- Overlap seams: space 6" o.c along seams.
TIP: stagger along both sides of seam.
- Cuts, patches, panels: space 3” o.c. along edges of
any cut or patchwork.
- Overhead support: space 12” o.c. along
overhead support
(pipes, cables, etc).
|
|
|
|
 |
Quick Tie Chains: overhead support.
- Overhead support: space 12” o.c.
along overhead support
(pipes, cables, etc).
|
|
|
|
 |
Poly Cord: multi-purpose fastener, common
applications listed below.
- Overlap seams: Weave the cord in and out of the netting on
both sides of seam.
- Overhead support: space 12" o.c.
along overhead support.
- Not for perimeter support !

|
Estimating for Tensioned Cable Hardware
 |
Net Cable:
Spool yield is always less
than capacity due to cable used in loop
connections.
- Estimate for full 250' or 500' net cable
spools.
- A 250 foot spool should yield about 240’ of
cable installation.
- A 500 foot spool should yield about 480’ of
cable installation.
- TIP:
don't forget to include cable footage for
support cables (if needed).
|
|
|
|
 |
Loop Connection Hardware:
items used to fasten the cable to
the corner hardware and turnbuckles. Hardware
needed for each cable loop connection:
- Ferrules: (optional) 2 each. For cable runs from
0 to 25’ long.
- NOTE: The LOCOLock Ratchet Crimper is required
for ferrule installation.
- Wire Rope Clamps: (recommended) 2 each. Optional
for cable runs from 0 to 25' long. REQUIRED for
cable runs over 25’ long.
- Thimbles: 1 per connection.
Recommended for ferrule connections. REQUIRED
for wire rope clamp connections.
|
|
|
|
 |
Turnbuckles: always use one turnbuckle per
run of cable. Never go around corners without adding
a turnbuckle. Maximum distance between turnbuckles:
- Small turnbuckles: 25’.
- Medium turnbuckles: 50’.
- Large turnbuckles are available. Custom
hardware may be needed - call for info.
|
|
|
|
 |
Corner Hardware:
anchors the cable installation to
the surface. Supports the entire weight of the
netting installation. Maximum Spacing:
50'
- Use 1 at each corner and for each change
in direction of the cable installation.
- Use 1 at all cable breaks (where the
cable stops and starts again).
- Add 2 for each support cable (one at
each end).
|
|
|
|
 |
Cable Guide Hardware:
Installed between the corner
hardware to keeps the net cable close
to surface. Cable
Guide Spacing:
- Straight cable runs: every 24".
- Curved cable runs: every 12”.
|
|
|
|
 |
Net Rings:
fastens the netting to
the cable, zippers to the netting and seals
up netting seams. Recommended Ring
Usage:
- Cable to netting:
16 rings per foot (1 ring per mesh for
3/4” net).
- Sealing overlap seams: 32
rings per foot (16 rings / foot on both sides of seam).
- Installing 2 foot zippers: 64 rings
(32 rings each side of zipper).
- Installing 4 foot zippers: 128 rings
(64 rings each side of zipper).
- Installing 8 foot zippers: 264 rings
(128 rings each side of zipper).
