One practical BTM Layout site note
We record the user, intended protection, full boundary and access needs before comparing suitable materials or fixing approaches.
- Measure compact utilities: Include every pipe, appliance, grill and door movement in photographs and dimensions.
Close the full bird entry route humanely in BTM Layout
For this BTM Layout decision, pigeon netting should close the usable flight path without trapping birds. Inspect for pigeons, eggs, chicks and concealed active nests before final closure, then treat roof gaps, side returns, railings, pipes and ledges as one continuous boundary.
- BTM Layout check: Avoid loose pockets, open edges and untreated corners.
- BTM Layout check: Keep laundry, drains, windows and AC servicing usable.
Limits and checks before installation
Droppings and nests require a separate humane cleaning and clearance plan; netting should not seal contamination or birds inside.
Buyer and survey checklist
- Measure compact utilities: Include every pipe, appliance, grill and door movement in photographs and dimensions.
