[QUOTE="millstreaminn, post: 1253699, member: 4844"] I finally got the bird netting put up in the equipment building last weekend. We put eyebolts in the corners and ran high tensile fence wire around the undersides of the trusses. We attached the bird netting every 2" with hog rings. It took 2 people 12 hours, one guy on a pallet on the loader tractor and myself moving the tractor around and fetching parts. I have just under $250.00 in materials and I was so happy with the results, I paid my buddy $500.00 for helping. Another friend of mine had his barn done by Erlich Pest Control. He has $1.26 a square foot in his. By doing it myself, I have just under 31 cents a square foot in it. I couldn't be happier with the results. It's kinda hard to see, but this is a shot of the netting looking up into the peak of the trusses. The netting is nice and tight and if you don't know it is there, you would never even see it. Very happy. :D :D :D [url=http://s207.photobucket.com/user/millstreaminn/media/IMG_1426_zpskoyire8j.jpg.html][img]http://i207.photobucket.com/albums/bb188/millstreaminn/IMG_1426_zpskoyire8j.jpg[/img][/url] And the proof, these tractors have been sitting in there for a week. Not a a piece of chit on the hoods. Before the netting, they would have been covered with chit, pieces of nesting material and feathers...
