I cannot walk across my patio anymore, it is so filthy with pigeon and sometimes a rooks droppings. Now much worse as neighbours have put bird feeder nearby :mad: :mad:
It is home to my grape vine. But the time has come. The cross beams are 2 inches, and I have done my best to measure it all including the support from side to side and the beams from the front back to the house, and reckon I need 32 metres. I have spoken to two different suppliers, one says 2 spikes is ok and I glue it on.
The other says I will have to screw as the rooks will pull it off.
So now I am totally confused and don't no which way to jump. I have previously had plastic ones along the fence but they keep snapping off now, going brittle I guess. Any advice will be most welcome, thanks, Mrs Bouquet

Hello if you can get some 1×11/2 inch roof lathe and some 3inch nails it's easy to make deterrents knock the nails in at 2 inch spacing diagonally from each side making a X it's also a good thief deterrent (but illegal to use for this purpose) jezza
