01
Find the entry route
We check the shaft mouth, pipe runs, corners, and ledges before deciding where the net should sit.
Service Detail
Duct area nets for cleaner service openings
Duct openings collect more trouble than people expect. Birds, dry leaves, dust, and loose debris can enter through small gaps around pipes or shaft edges.
A good duct net is planned around the route of entry, not only the visible dirty patch. Pipes, brackets, exhaust lines, and cleaning reach all matter.
The finish should be tight around the border, neat near pipe cuts, and practical enough for future maintenance.

Process
How the fitting is planned
02
Plan pipe cuts
Openings around pipes are marked first so the net does not hang loose after fitting.
03
Fix the border
The net is tied across the usable edge with clean tension and no soft corner pockets.
04
Check access
Before finishing, we check whether cleaning or basic service work can still be handled.
Materials
Chosen after checking the opening
HDPE net
Useful for service openings that need a stronger and more visible barrier.
Transparent net
Used when the opening should stay lighter from view while still closing entry gaps.
Border rope
Keeps the edge stable around corners, pipe lines, and awkward shaft shapes.
Hooks and fasteners
Chosen after checking wall strength, tile edges, pipe spacing, and fixing reach.
Compare
Pick the right approach
| Option | Works For | Note |
|---|---|---|
| Duct area net | Open shafts, pipe gaps, and service pockets | Best when the entry point is wider than a narrow ledge. |
| Bird spikes | Thin ledges where birds only sit | Not useful when birds are entering the duct opening. |
| Solid covering | Non-ventilated closures | Can block airflow or future access if used in the wrong place. |
Before Booking
Details that change the fitting
Pipe gaps need careful tying, not a stretched net over the top.
The opening should be checked before closing so nothing is trapped inside.
Access for cleaning or repair should be discussed before fitting.
Loose corners are the most common reason duct netting fails early.

Questions
What people ask before booking
Can duct area nets be fitted around pipes?
Yes. Pipe gaps are handled with cut-and-tie work so the edge does not stay loose.
Will the duct still get airflow?
Netting keeps airflow open in most layouts while stopping bird or debris entry.
Can the duct be cleaned later?
That depends on the opening. Cleaning access is checked before deciding the final border line.
Is this better than bird spikes?
Use netting when birds or debris enter an open space. Use spikes when birds only sit on a narrow ledge.
