Installation Guide

Installing the critter guard is straightforward and requires no drilling. The mesh wraps around the panel perimeter and locks onto the frame with the included clips — most residential arrays take under an hour.

1Measure & cut — measure each panel edge and cut the mesh to length with a wire cutter.
2Fold a 45° lip — fold the extra mesh height inward so birds can’t push over the top.
3Clip it on — hook clips through the mesh onto the panel frame every 12–18 in (30–50 cm).
4Lock & trim — press speed washers tight against the mesh, bend rods upward, snip off the excess.
5Corners & joints — overlap roll joints 2–4 in; slit and fold the mesh around corners, seal gaps with zip ties.
