ARW PRODUCTS Chimney Bird Guard Cowl Wire Balloon - 200 mm / 8"

The primary purpose is to prevent birds from entering your chimney, which can cause blockages, nesting material fires, and costly repairs.

No, this guard is specifically designed for solid fuel chimneys and is NOT suitable for gas chimneys.

It uses a simple push-fit mechanism with sprung wire legs that grip the inside of the chimney pot, requiring no additional fixings or tools.

It fits chimney pots with an internal diameter between 200 mm and 250 mm (approximately 8 to 10 inches).

The design accommodates various shapes, including round, square, and hexagonal chimney pots.

The thick, galvanized wire construction is designed to last for decades, offering a long-term solution.

No, the guard is designed for a tool-free, one-handed push-fit installation.

Ensure the chimney pot's internal diameter is within the 200-250mm range. Remove any obstructions or rough edges from the rim of the pot. Try slightly twisting the guard as you push it down.

Verify that the sprung wire legs are fully engaged inside the chimney pot. If the pot is at the very edge of the size range, the grip might be less firm. Ensure no part of the pot's interior is preventing the legs from expanding fully.

Double-check that the guard is fully seated and securely fitted. Inspect the guard for any gaps or damage that might allow smaller birds or debris through. Ensure the chimney pot's internal dimensions match the guard's specifications.
