Bob Wires

They create a one-way entrance: birds can push the wires inwards but can’t lift them to exit. Useful on trap doors and loft fronts.

Use 25 cm or 30 cm singles for narrow openings or replacements. Use the 1-metre bar when you need a wider run and consistent spacing across the entrance.

Allow each wire to swing freely with enough overlap that they return to the closed position. Test with a few birds and adjust until they pass in smoothly but don’t push back out.

Fix the bar level across the opening, add bobs evenly along the run, then test the swing and clearance. Tighten fixings once you’re happy with the action.

Yes—bobs help control movement between sections while keeping birds secure during breeding. (Still check spacing for your birds’ size.)

Inspect regularly, wipe down debris, and make sure nothing catches or bends. Replace any worn or damaged parts promptly.

Orders before 2 pm Mon–Fri usually arrive next day by DHL; some postcodes can take up to three working days. Islands and Isle of Man have a small surcharge.
