Easy to install. Saves a lot of money if you diy.
So far so good. Installation was pretty simple. It easily cuts with a pair of dykes. The hooks and small plates that it comes with where easy to handle and work well. They are perfect with my black solar panels. Almost unnoticeable from the ground. Just a tip, overlap the corner on one edge by three to four inches. Snip a few of the horizontal links at the bottom and fold up. For me it was three snips. Then fold the mesh over and install a hook and plate over the corner. Push down on the folded up section and boom!! Neat looking corners that keep the critters out. The sides of the panels where the frame work juts out is also simple. Basically just hold the mesh over the frame and snip its shape out with the dykes, as you move down the run. I made sure not to go to low so I could mold the mesh close to the bottom of the frame. Quality of the mesh seems pretty good. Honestly don’t have anything to compare it to. Time will tell as far as rust and stuff, but I’m not too worried about that. The coating it comes with is good quality. I would definitely recommend if you’re ok with going on your roof, and in my case some work off the ladder. This actually saved me over 900 $. I needed two rolls and did the job in about 4 hours. My solar panel installer quoted me 1200$ to do this job..

Easy to install
I have 15 solar panels where pigeons decided to make their home. This was easy to install and keeps the critters out. No complaints.

Best quality squirrel guard you can get for the money
Highest quality bird/squirrel guard you can get. Just wish they would start sending the pins and stickers with the orders again

It should keep the pigeons away.
It’s gets the job done. It’s pretty basic stuff. Just a pain being on the roof. But I’m glad I did this now vs 5 months when it is 100+ outside! The netting is very bendable so no issues getting the right angles. It comes with a QR code that takes you to an installation video on YouTube. I would say it isn’t the best video, but you get the basic idea. There are better videos on YouTube especially on installing around corners. The hooks aren't very strong. They are more there to hold it in place vs tightening it up. I bent a few of mine by putting too much pressure. I adapted by bending the netting at a better angle to line up with the panel and didn’t have any other issues. All in all very happy with the product. Hopefully the coating holds up the outdoor elements.

Works as advertised!
Easy to install. Material is a little bit pliable but it helped me during installation when applying around corners. The black PVC coating blens in with my PV solar skirt.

Quality Product, Easy install.
Got this to keep peigions from nesting under solar panels. Easy to install, thicker gauge than others. It took about 2 months for the peigions to find another home once installing this. Well worth the price, I'm looking forward to not having to clean peigion waste from the gutters next year 😀

greasy, not thaaaat fast to install, but looks like it will last a long time!
You hafta figure it out yourself, the silly video and pics only give clues, but its pretty easy. WARNING - there's a heavy grease on the product, and it won't wash off your hands very well! Not thaaat fast to install - it took me about 4 hours to do a 36 foot side of my solar panel array; now I could do the other side in maybe 2 hours because I've figured it out.
