BIRD BALLS

Bird balls and other floating cover options provide up to 99% coverage for water-filled areas

Bird Balls are floating covers that rest on the surface of the water and are designed for use in ponds, reservoirs, retention basins, wastewater facilities, and other water features. When installed across the water surface, the covers create a physical barrier between wildlife and the water below. Designed for use in areas experiencing activity from geese, ducks, swans, gulls, and other wildlife, Bird Balls support water management and site maintenance efforts.

Bird Balls are designed to cover the water surface while allowing gaps between units for light transmission and normal water operations. Constructed from durable HDPE, the covers are designed for long-term outdoor use and resistance to weather exposure with minimal routine maintenance.

Three floating cover options are available: Armor Ball AQUA, HexProtect AQUA, and Rhombo HexoShield. All models are manufactured from 100% HDPE and are food-contact compliant. The material is recyclable, and each product includes a 10-year manufacturer warranty against cracking and material defects under normal use conditions.
