Doc Holliday Posted December 29, 2020 Report Share Posted December 29, 2020 As the title says. I'm looking for recommendations on where to buy. Last year we took our conservatory off and had a single storey extension with a parapet wall. Ruddy ferrals love it and turn it a nice shade of green. I said to Mrs H that I will be putting spikes up the next time I clean it off and so have looked at the Defender 12 Extra wide spikes. The only thing is I am looking at just under £100 for 5m plus a tube of their fixant which seems a little pricy but maybe I'm being a bit of a tight gite (which is the French word for ***, as I'm sure you all know). Thanks in advance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Farmboy91 Posted December 29, 2020 Report Share Posted December 29, 2020 How wide is the surface you want to mount the spikes on? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doc Holliday Posted December 30, 2020 Author Report Share Posted December 30, 2020 Many thanks for replies. I did look at the burdspikesonline website at the Defender 12 Stainless Steel spikes and, as I said in the original post, I thiught just under £100 for 5 metres worth and a tube of fixing was a tad on the steep side. But then I guess I don't have much choice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Which I won't tell you what it is when you are buying 500 metres at a time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
figgy Posted December 30, 2020 Report Share Posted December 30, 2020 (edited) My father tried the plastic spikes and no good. Had to buy the metal long prong ones in the end. Perazzishot surely if you get the birds spikes cheap enough, posting 5meters worth won't cost too much for the op.

Plenty of D8 and D4. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
