[QUOTE="millstreaminn, post: 1304202, member: 4844"] Here's some more pics of the DIY bird net for Patriot9120. I put it on the bottom of the trusses last summer and it has cut down the nesting and roosting in the rafters 100%. You still get the occasional bird that flies through the building but they don't live in there anymore. Eyebolts in the corners, ran a high tensile wire around the perimeter with a strainer here and there to keep the wire tight. The bird netting is tied to the wires with hog rings. Can't believe I put up with the sparrows and starling living in there and crapping on my equipment for so many years.
