Bird & Pigeon Spikes in Visakhapatnam
Stainless spikes for ledges, parapets and signage where a net would look wrong.
Fitting this in Visakhapatnam
Coastal salt air. 304 stainless corrodes here — 316 is not an upgrade, it is the requirement.
316-grade stainless cable and fixings only. 304 pits and streaks rust within two years near the coast.
Spikes are for narrow ledges, not for openings. On a parapet, window sill, sign top or AC cage they stop a bird landing, and they are almost invisible from ground level.
They are not a substitute for netting on a balcony opening — a bird will simply land past them. Used in the right place they are excellent; used in the wrong place they are wasted money, and we will say so.

Local conditions in Visakhapatnam
- Salt-laden coastal air. 316-grade stainless cable and fixings only. 304 pits and streaks rust within two years near the coast.

Does Visakhapatnam need a different specification?
Coastal salt air. 304 stainless corrodes here — 316 is not an upgrade, it is the requirement. 316-grade stainless cable and fixings only. 304 pits and streaks rust within two years near the coast.
Do spikes hurt the birds?
No. The pins are blunt. They make a ledge an unstable place to land, so the bird chooses somewhere else. They are a deterrent, not a trap.
What material are the nets made from?
Knotted high-density polyethylene, UV stabilised. HDPE is chemically inert, waterproof and does not degrade in sunlight the way untreated polypropylene does. Nets are tensioned on a stainless steel wire frame using screw pins, turnbuckles and hogging staples, so the installation stays tight rather than sagging after the first season.
How much does it cost?
Pricing starts from a base rate per square foot and varies by product — invisible grills cost several times more than netting. Use the estimate calculator for an approximate figure, then book a free site visit for an exact written quotation. Measurements taken over the phone are almost always wrong.
How long will the installation last?
Five years is typical for HDPE netting in direct sun, longer on sheltered elevations. Invisible grills last considerably longer — the stainless cable is the limiting component and it does not corrode. Sun exposure is what ages netting, not rain.
