Description
Manufactured from hot dipped galvanised mesh then pvc coated for additional protection and to add the black colour. Mesh Size: 25mm X 12.5mm (1″ X 1/2″) Roll Width: 200mm (8″) Roll Length: 30m (100′)
Usage: Ideal for use in screening solar panels to prevent feral pigeons from accessing the underside of the panels.
Compatible with all Enviroguard fixing clips.
The wire mesh is supplied in rolls. The preferred technique is to cut the mesh to the required length and straighten before getting onto the roof.
Choosing the PVC Coated Solar Mesh Roll
This is galvanised solar mesh with a black PVC coating, which adds protection and a darker finish. Use it to screen the gap under solar panels so feral pigeons cannot get underneath. Pair it with black clips to keep the finish consistent.

How many rolls do I need?
Add up the lengths of all the sides of your solar array to get the perimeter, then add 1 to 2m for joints and corners. One roll is 30m long, so a 40m perimeter plus 2m needs two rolls.
Which clips does it work with?
The 25mm x 12.5mm mesh fits all EnviroGuard solar mesh clips. Use the Solar Mesh Speed Clip (5 per metre) if your panels have no lip on the underside, or the premium adjustable or push fit clips (2 per metre) if they have a return lip.
Why black?
The PVC coating adds protection to the galvanised wire and gives a black finish. The speed clips come in black to match.
Is there a kit with clips included?
Yes. Each 30m kit pairs a roll with the right number of clips, a cutting tool and stainless steel corner ties. See the kits on our solar panel pigeon proofing cost guide, which compares them all.

All wild birds, including feral pigeons and gulls, are protected by law, so check for active nests before you fit anything and never disturb one. Our page on bird control and the law explains what you can and cannot do.
