Balconies, windows and AC ledges
Close the entry gaps. Keep the balcony usable.

A pigeon net should give you back the use of your balcony without making the AC, drain or window difficult to reach. EverSafe installs pigeon safety nets in Chennai from ₹30/sq ft, including installation. We measure the opening, identify the actual entry gaps and agree on the mesh, border and maintenance access before fitting.
Start with the opening
The visible front is only one part of the boundary. A net can look complete from the room while leaving a return, pipe cut-out or upper corner open. We use your photos to understand the problem, then confirm the full boundary on site.
Include the sides between walls, railings and neighbouring projections. The finished boundary should follow the opening rather than leave an easy path around one end.
Show the AC unit, bracket, pipes and surrounding ledge in the same photograph. A net across the wrong plane may leave the shelf accessible from outside or make servicing awkward.
A shaft may serve more than one flat. Agree on the shared opening and the people who need access before treating it as an extension of one balcony.
Product selection
Nylon, HDPE and other plastic net options are available, along with branded choices such as Garware and Tuff where the required product is available. Compare the actual product supplied. A brand name or a colour does not, by itself, establish mesh size, outdoor suitability or warranty.
| Option to discuss | Useful decision | What to verify |
|---|---|---|
| Nylon net | Appearance, handling and the intended opening | Mesh opening, twine specification and documented outdoor suitability |
| HDPE net | An alternative material and range of finishes | Product grade, construction, mesh opening and border arrangement |
| Clear or light-coloured net | How visible the mesh is from your room | View a sample against the actual background; it remains visible |
| Branded product | A particular manufacturer or product preference | Exact product, packaging or invoice details and applicable written terms |
A clear starting point
From ₹30/sq ft including installation. The measured opening and selected product determine the final written estimate.
Your space, your starting budget
Use the width and height of one net or grill face, rather than the balcony floor area. Add other faces to the final enquiry.
Installation is included in the starting scope. The selected product, complete coverage, access and any agreed additional work determine the final quote.
The 100 sq ft example starts at ₹3,000; it is an illustration of the starting-rate calculation, not a fixed package for every balcony. Repairs, patches and reattachment are assessed and priced separately.
Sizes that fit
We can arrange different panel sizes and mesh options. The panel dimensions describe how much opening is covered; the mesh opening describes the spaces within that panel. Selecting one does not automatically select the other.
Pigeon-focused mesh is not automatically suitable for every smaller bird. Share a clear photo or describe the birds using the opening so the specification matches the problem.
Confirm the opening in millimetres as well as the material and twine details. Avoid comparing two quotes using only “thick net” or “premium net”.
Front, side and overhead panels can add up to more than the balcony floor area. Irregular corners, pipe cut-outs and access panels belong in the drawing and estimate.
The finish you live with
Transparent pigeon nets are a choice of appearance, not an invisible wall. Fine lines, knots and fittings remain visible, especially against the sky or in direct light. We can discuss clear, white or darker finishes using the background and the view from indoors.
Bird netting is an exclusion measure. It should not be treated as a tested child guard, pet enclosure or a substitute for a structural balcony railing.
Check window travel, furniture movement and clothes-drying clearance. Mesh allows air through its openings, but it does not make a balcony dustproof, mosquito-proof or rainproof.

Plan the service opening
Tell us which equipment is serviced from the balcony and where the drain, taps and pipe valves sit. The access solution should be agreed before the border is fixed, so routine maintenance does not require someone to cut a new hole.
Keep ventilation and service clearances according to the equipment requirements. Removable sections need a deliberate fastening and reclosure arrangement.
Netting does not correct drainage faults or remove contamination already present. Keep drains reachable and agree separately on any substantial pre-installation cleaning.
Get the building representative involved when an opening contains communal pipes or equipment. A resident’s convenient net line may obstruct another person’s maintenance route.

Installation sequence
A simple accessible balcony can be a short installation, while ducts, multiple faces and difficult access need more time. We confirm the likely duration after checking the layout and availability; a booking time should not be treated as a promise that every opening takes the same time.
Send the front, both sides and the upper edge, along with your Chennai area, floor and approximate dimensions. Mention previous holes, broken hooks or a net already in place.
Confirm the material, mesh, fixing surfaces, access section and installed estimate. Apartment approval and safe access must be settled before work starts.
Do not enclose birds, chicks or an occupied nest behind the net. An active wildlife or nesting issue needs suitable professional advice before installation can proceed.
Review edge closures, visible damage, loose portions and the planned service opening. Know how to report a problem and how to have a removed section reattached.
Outdoor maintenance
A sheltered opening in Chennai and an exposed seafront balcony can need different fixing decisions. We look at the condition of the substrate, existing corrosion and exposure to rain or salt air. A locality name alone is not a hardware specification.
Point out damaged plaster, rusting existing metal, waterproofed surfaces and places where drilling is restricted.
From a safe position inside, look for detached edges, loose fittings and damaged mesh. Arrange a check if anything has changed; do not reach outside to pull the net tighter.
Keep net sections free of stored objects. Tell the painter or AC technician how an opening is secured so it can be restored after their work.
No net or fitting is advertised here as cyclone-proof, permanently rustproof or maintenance-free.
Existing installation
We assess repairs, patches, loose-border work and reattachment of previous installations, including work done earlier by another installer. The condition of the surrounding net and fixing surface determines whether reuse is sensible.
A small tear or service cut may be repairable when the rest of the panel remains suitable. A patch needs secure margins; covering a hole in generally brittle mesh is not a lasting repair.
After painting, AC replacement or plumbing work, send a photo of the removed section and the remaining fittings. Existing holes and ties are assessed rather than automatically reused.
Several tears, repeated detached corners or widespread deterioration may make panel replacement the clearer option. We explain the proposed scope before pricing the work.
Repair visits and reattachment are quoted separately. The new-installation starting rate is not a repair minimum or a guaranteed repair charge.
Choose the right treatment
The useful comparison starts with what the birds are doing. A full enclosure can be unnecessary for a small perch, while a line of spikes cannot close an open duct.
| Observed issue | Discuss first | Reason |
|---|---|---|
| Pigeons entering a balcony or recess | Pigeon netting | Closes the opening and its returns |
| Several bird species or shared building openings | Anti-bird netting assessment | Needs a species-appropriate mesh and coordinated layout |
| Birds resting on an isolated narrow ledge | Bird spikes | Treats the landing surface without enclosing the whole balcony |
| Mosquitoes or fine dust entering a room | A suitable screen solution | Ordinary pigeon mesh does not filter insects or fine particles |
Individual and shared work
For an independent home, the decision may concern a window recess or terrace-side pocket. In an apartment, the external elevation or duct can be common property. Both need a clear installation boundary and an agreed maintenance owner.
Identify the faces included, where you are allowed to fix and the opening you need for servicing. Share any rental or association conditions before measurement.
A combined visit can help coordinate layouts and access. Each measured opening and any different specification should still appear clearly in the estimate.
Have the authorised building contact review access, affected services and responsibility for later inspections. Do not assume permission for an entire shaft comes with one flat’s approval.
Price clarity
The starting price is ₹30/sq ft including installation. As an arithmetic example, 100 sq ft of qualifying measured net area starts at ₹3,000. The final amount depends on the specification and scope confirmed for your opening.
A front panel and two side returns are separate net areas. The installer should explain what was measured and which faces are included.
Check mesh, fittings, access sections, safe working arrangements and any preparation. An online roll price alone does not describe a completed installation.
Special access, extensive cleaning, old-net removal or surface repairs should be discussed explicitly. Agree the final amount before the installation begins.
Chennai and nearby coverage
Use the locality closest to your home to find the relevant area page. These are service-coverage groups, not claims that particular streets have more pigeons. OMR and ECR cover long stretches, so share your precise address and landmark.
For a visit near the coast, include the direction the opening faces and any visible corrosion; the actual building condition guides the fitting.
Share the apartment name, tower and access rules as well as the road or locality. This helps identify the correct opening and building contact.
Confirm whether the work is for one residence, a rental flat or a shared duct before a site visit is arranged.
For multiple balconies or utility openings, send each face rather than one general property photograph.
Make an informed choice
The starting rate is ₹30/sq ft including installation. The exact amount follows measurement and agreement on the net, fittings, access and any additional work. We do not use a separate price band merely because of your locality.
A single rectangular 10 by 10 ft face is 100 sq ft, so the starting-rate example is ₹3,000. Side panels, top coverage and special requirements must be measured separately; the final estimate is confirmed before fitting.
We can discuss nylon, HDPE and other suitable products, including branded options such as Garware and Tuff where available. Confirm the exact product, mesh opening and written terms rather than relying on the brand name alone.
Yes. The overall panel size is made to the opening, while the mesh opening is selected for the birds to be excluded. Tell us about smaller birds too, because a pigeon-only specification may not suit them.
No. A clear or light net can look less prominent in some settings, but lines, knots and fittings remain visible. A sample against your balcony background helps compare finishes.
They can if gaps or detached edges remain. The survey includes side returns, upper corners, pipes and service openings, with a final review of the agreed perimeter.
Often, but the unit’s ventilation, bracket layout and maintenance access must be assessed first. Agree on a removable or accessible section if needed, and make sure it is properly closed after servicing.
It can prevent bird access to the enclosed space when the boundary remains intact. Open mesh is not a solid roof, so it does not guarantee that droppings, rain or other material from an exposed surface above cannot pass through.
No. Pigeon netting has open mesh and is not designed as a fine-dust filter or mosquito screen. These needs require a separate product assessment.
Do not close a net around birds, chicks or an occupied nest. Tell us before the visit. Appropriate wildlife or bird-rescue advice may be needed before the opening can be safely enclosed.
A straightforward accessible opening may be completed in one visit. Multiple panels, common ducts, height, permissions and weather can change the schedule. We confirm the likely duration after assessing your photographs and site.
Yes, we assess previous installations, including other installers’ work, for patching, border repairs and reattachment. Reuse depends on the condition of the net, fittings and wall. The repair scope is priced separately.
No permanent rust-free promise is made. We assess exposure and specify suitable fittings, then advise checking visible corrosion and loose edges over time. Nearby coastal location alone does not determine the entire specification.
We can assess coordinated multi-flat work and shared openings. The authorised building representative needs to confirm access, permission and future maintenance responsibility for common areas.
For a pigeon-entry problem, these names often refer to the same request for netting across a balcony or other opening. Share the actual birds and entry point so the product is selected for the job, not the search term.
Ask for the written terms covering the specific material and installation in your estimate. Coverage, exclusions and upkeep requirements depend on what is supplied; a universal lifespan or warranty duration is not promised here.
From your first photo to the final fitting
Send the balcony front, side returns and AC or duct area with your locality, floor and approximate size. Mention nests, existing net damage and any association restrictions.
