Flexible and easy to cut, PollyNet is an extruded, knotless, UV stabilized, polypropylene bird netting. It is easy to handle and cut, installs quickly and is the most economical bird netting system available. PollyNet has a high strength-to-weight ratio and is dimensionally stable, maintaining its mesh size and shape during installation. Because it is pre-stretched during the extrusion process, a PollyNet installation exhibits minimal stretch or sag. PollyNet is available in two grades, Premium and Lightweight. Both are made from the same UV resistant black polypropylene material but are used for different applications.
