Before you begin installation you will
need to measure out the area that will need
BirdSlide®. BirdSlide® is manufactured
in 4 foot length beams that can be custom
cut to fit the affected area. Measure
out the surface area to be covered. Measure both
width and the depth of the surface area
to be treated. Measure and mark the
BirdSlide® beam and cut the size needed.
Simple cutting tools like tin-snips, hand
saws or a razor knife can be used to
trim away excess area. A good job of measuring
and trimming BirdSlide® will insure a
clean finished fit. And after color matching
BirdSlide® with a primer and exterior
coat paint it will be virtually undetectable.
BirdSlide® can be custom cut to fit most
areas. The depth of the affected surface will
determine how much of the “slide trim
area” will need to be trimmed away. If the depth
is greater than 5-7/8", BirdSlide® can
be stacked and bonded together to create a
longer slide that will cover the larger
area (see
diagram A).
Also, BirdSlide®
Extensions will provide coverage for
depths larger than 6 inches. Call Bird Barrier® the official distributor of BirdSlide® at
800-NO-BIRDS for more information. Now
that you have custom cut the BirdSlide®
beams for the measured area it is time to prepare the
beam for installation.
