Drew, the door itself is just a rectangle of PVC with a center brace, constructed using standard T and L fittings. It should be just slightly smaller than the framed opening so that small birds cannot wiggle through the gap. Once the frame has been fitted--not glued--together you saw through in two places on the side where you want the hinges to go, and remove a section slightly wider than the thickness of an eye bolt. The eyebolt should have a screw shaft long enough to extend through a nylon washer, the PVC frame, and allow for a lock nut. The size of the eye is determined by the metal pipe that you insert into the door frame to span the cut segment. This metal pipe is the only bad news. When I originally did this for my PVC greenhouse I was using 1" PVC and 3/4" metal conduit made a nice fit inside. Nothing I have found fits well in the 1/2" PVC I used for the net house :-( I eventually settled on a length of galvanized pipe that would fit, but it's really too loose in there. I need to turn the door around to have it open on the opposite side and I will probably reconstruct it with 3/4" PVC so I can use 1/2" metal conduit for the inside pipe. You need a good length of pipe inside the cut PVC and you screw the PVC and metal together in several places on both sides of the eye bolt to hold everything together. Once the metal inserts with eye bolts are in place you can glue the door frame together. Then you need someone to help hold things up while you mark where to drill the holes for the eye bolts to pass through the frame of the net house. The simple latch is made from another eye bolt. On the inside I took a couple of galvanized connecting strips and used one as a "bolt" and another (bent into shape) as a catch. Lock nuts hold the "bolt" at the correct position. Edit: Forgot to mention: you need to drill a series of small holes in the bottom of the door. When I had to redo the door on my greenhouse (I forget why now) I was shocked to find that rainwater had made its way in where the hinges were and filled up half the door! Of course, it never rains here any more...... This post was edited by steve_in_los_osos on Sat, Aug 16, 14 at 11:19

Just today I had an experience with the netting I used last year on my fig trees. My son was mowing the back yard and he came to the porch and said there was a terrible odor coming from the rear of my property. I went back to investigate, and the disgusting odor was coming from a piece of plywood under which I stored the bird netting. We lifted the plywood and there were three large back snakes (Indigo snakes) caught in the mesh, and only one was still alive. It took us nearly ten minutes to cut him loose. When I held his head up to the level of mine his tail hit the ground, so he was well over five feet long. The two which died were not quite as large.

Adriano, I just went through a similar situation with not so high-speed. It turns out that the signal was too strong. The cable man reduced the signal strength and I now access the internet at least 10x faster than before. mrhappy

Eloise, I just found this posted on another site: When you best feathered friend escapes, you need to go out and search immediately. There is still a chance of you retrieving your bird if it has not gotten too far away. Look in the trees right above you. Your bird may light there and never make a sound, out of fear, to let you know it is up right above you. If your bird is indeed in the tree, talk to it calmly, get a ladder and slowly go up it without startling your bird further. If you do not have the means of a ladder, most fire departments will help out in retrieving your pet. Put the bird's cage outside in plain view with food, and leave it there until your bird is found. Throw birdseeds or pellets on top of your roof, car or any other place that is clearly visible. Your bird could land there, see you and fly back to you. Take the cassette recordings that you made to various spots in your neighborhood. If possible ask some of your neighbors to help you play the recordings. Now, if you cannot locate your bird at all, put up signs/posters around the neighborhood, grocery stores, schools, libraries and any other public place that allows you to hang your signs/posters. Pet stores, and vets are also a good place to hang your signs/posters. Usually, that is the first place someone would call if they locate a missing bird. If you are going to write out your signs/posters, write legibly, listing the birds name, what type, age, special markings, last seen, if you offer a reward include that too and your phone number/email. Put ads in the newspaper, giving a complete detailed description of your bird. Include the name of your bird and any phrases or songs it may know. That goes for the above paragraph also. You may want to knock on some neighbors' doors to inform them of your beloved missing bird and for them to keep an eye out. For you tamed parrot owners, your bird will probably go to a human being when it gets hungry enough. That is why you need to inform your neighbors just in case your bird presents itself. You can go as far as getting the neighborhood kids involved. Offer them a reward if they can locate your bird. Inform the kids not to catch the bird with their own hands, but to have a pillowcase to throw over the bird and then call an adult. The best time to look for your bird, particularly cockatiels, is before sunrise and at dusk. That is when they are most active and searching for food.
