3.3 INSTALLATION
A. Install Bird-X All Steel Spike according to the Bird-X installation instructions.
B. Measure the length of each area to be covered, allowing for curves or bends in the surface. Based on length
(multiply length by 2, 3 etc. if necessary for wider widths) order an appropriate amount of Bird-X All Steel
Spike. Units may be cut to fit lengths less than 36”.
