Basic Planning Outline.
This outline shows the basic procedures for planning your FliteLine installation.

	Is FliteLine right for your application? Use FliteLine as a deterrent for large birds (pigeons, crows, seagulls) on surfaces where the problem birds are few in number. If small birds are present and/or there are a lot of birds, then install the Nixalite bird control strips.
	Measure the surface. Accurately measure the surface depth (front-to-back) and the surface length (end-to-end). Be accurate: all FliteLine row planning steps are based on your recorded dimensions. If you have an unusual surface material or shape, Contact Nixalite.
	Number of FliteLine rows. Use the FliteTable information to determine how many rows of FliteLine each surface requires. Use the table below or download the FliteLine brochure.
	Find row and post spacing. Use the spacing guides below to find the best row-to-row and post-to-post spacing. Use the details below or download the FliteLine brochure.
	Select the best hardware. Select the FliteLine posts and hardware that best suits your application. For detailed information on these items, go to FliteLine Post & Wire.

Estimating Guide: simple formulas to find basic FliteLine material totals.

• Posts = Row Length ¸ 5. Round up to a whole number. Multiply by the number of rows required.
• Springs = Row Length ¸ 10. Round up to a whole number. Multiply by the number of rows required.
• Ferrules = Row Length ¸ 5. Round up to a whole number. Multiply by the number of rows required.
• Cable = Row Length X Rows Required.
• Note: for all outside rows (any row along an outside edge). Double spring, ferrule and cable totals to allow for both upper and lower wire installation.
