Description
The GKPC-17 plastic transparent bird spike is a physical bird deterrent with a 33 cm polycarbonate base and 12 spikes arranged in two rows. You can use it on suitable ledges and other landing surfaces to discourage birds from settling while maintaining a discreet appearance.
Unlike powered deterrents, this product requires no electricity, batteries, or chemical refills. Instead, you create a physical obstacle across the area you want to protect. For effective coverage, match the installation layout to the surface width, target birds, and activity at your site.
Whether you supply hardware retailers, manage pest control installations, or purchase for commercial properties, Paiste helps you develop a bird spike order around your practical requirements.
Product Features
Transparent Design for Discreet Bird Control
You can protect visible building features without introducing a prominent metal barrier. The clear material helps the spikes blend into their surroundings, making GKPC-17 a useful option for shopfronts, residential buildings, offices, and other locations where appearance matters.
For your customers, this provides a practical balance between bird deterrence and visual impact. However, the finished appearance will still depend on the background, viewing angle, and installation position.
UV-Resistant Polycarbonate for Outdoor Use
The UV-resistant PC construction supports outdoor use while keeping the strips lightweight. In addition, the plastic structure does not develop metal rust, helping you avoid rust staining from the spike material.
When selecting this model for your market, consider local sunlight exposure, temperatures, and installation conditions. You can also discuss material specifications and any required weathering evidence before confirming a bulk order.
Two-Row Structure for Suitable Landing Surfaces
The two-row arrangement creates an obstacle that discourages birds from landing on the protected area. Each strip contains 12 spikes, allowing you to build continuous runs along compatible surfaces.
Coverage matters more than strip length alone. Therefore, assess the full depth of the ledge and use additional rows where necessary. Leaving an accessible landing area behind the spikes can reduce the effectiveness of your installation.
Lightweight Strips for Easier Handling
You can handle and position the lightweight strips conveniently during layout and installation. The 33 cm base length also gives you a clear starting point when estimating quantities for project quotations or preparing retail pack configurations.
For wholesale purchasing, confirm your preferred pack quantity and carton arrangement so that your order suits warehouse handling and customer requirements.
Bird Deterrence Without Power or Chemical Refills
You do not need a power supply or routine chemical replenishment to use this product. Once correctly installed, the spikes work as a physical obstacle rather than attracting, trapping, or poisoning birds.
Periodic inspection remains important. Remove accumulated debris and check the fixings so that your protected surfaces remain covered and the strips stay secure.
Applications
You can use transparent plastic bird spikes on suitable surfaces where birds repeatedly land or roost. Typical applications include:
- Building ledges and window sills: Help reduce bird activity above entrances, walkways, and frequently cleaned areas.
- Roof parapets and wall tops: Protect accessible landing edges while keeping drainage routes clear.
- Shopfront signs and advertising structures: Discourage perching above customer entrances and display areas.
- Fences and gate tops: Cover suitable landing surfaces without interfering with moving parts or normal access.
- Commercial and residential buildings: Support bird management around offices, apartments, hotels, and retail properties.
- Warehouses and service buildings: Address individual resting points as part of a wider bird control plan.
Before specifying GKPC-17, check the target bird species, available landing space, and level of bird activity. For enclosed nesting areas, wide surfaces, or persistent bird pressure, you may need a different layout or additional exclusion measures.

How to Install and Secure Your Plastic Bird Spikes
1. Inspect and Measure the Area
First, identify where birds land and measure both the length and depth of the surface. Check corners, nearby pipes, and sheltered spaces where birds could settle beside or behind the proposed installation.
Use the 33 cm strip length to estimate your initial quantity. Then account for additional rows, separate sections, and installation allowances.
2. Prepare a Clean, Stable Surface
Remove loose dirt, grease, and debris using a cleaning method appropriate for the substrate. Allow the surface to dry before using an adhesive.
Do not install over loose paint or crumbling material, as the fixing can fail even when the adhesive bonds to the top layer. If the location contains active nests or substantial bird contamination, arrange appropriate professional advice before work begins.
3. Position the Strips Before Fixing
Lay out the strips before applying adhesive or installing fasteners. Aim for continuous protection across the usable landing area, rather than simply placing one strip along the centre of a wide ledge.
Check that the installation does not obstruct drains, ventilation, opening windows, or maintenance access. On slightly curved surfaces, confirm that the base sits securely without excessive bending.
4. Select a Suitable Fixing Method
Adhesive fixing: Where appropriate, use an outdoor adhesive that is compatible with both polycarbonate and the mounting surface. Follow the adhesive manufacturer’s instructions for surface preparation, application temperature, and curing time. Check compatibility carefully because unsuitable solvents can damage plastic.
Mechanical fixing: Where the supplied base has suitable fixing holes, use fasteners matched to the substrate. Avoid overtightening, which may distort or crack the base. For masonry, select appropriate anchors; for weatherproof surfaces, agree on a fixing method that maintains their protective function.
Confirm the base configuration and recommended fixing method with Paiste before preparing your installation specification.
5. Check Security and Maintain Coverage
After fixing, inspect each strip for movement and check for gaps that still offer landing space. If you use adhesive, allow the specified curing time before testing the bond.
Recheck the installation periodically and after severe weather. Clear trapped leaves or nesting material, replace damaged sections, and repair loose fixings promptly.
Efficient Production and Strict Quality Control
When you purchase bird spikes in bulk, you need consistent products and a supply plan that supports your sales schedule. Paiste combines efficient production with strict quality control to support wholesale orders and repeat purchasing.
From raw materials to finished products, production control helps maintain consistent specifications. For your GKPC-17 order, agree on the acceptance requirements before manufacturing begins, including:
- PC material specification and transparent appearance.
- Base length, two-row configuration, and spike count.
- Moulding quality, including checks for cracks, incomplete sections, and deformation.
- Consistency between the approved sample and the bulk order.
- Packaging quantity, labels, and carton condition.
By defining these points early, you make inspection requirements clearer and reduce avoidable misunderstandings during procurement.
If you sell into Europe, Australia, or North America, share your destination and buyer requirements with Paiste. Request the applicable material information, test reports, or supporting documentation for the exact product specification you plan to order. Documentation should match your model and market requirements.
OEM & ODM Service
You can work with Paiste to develop a wholesale bird spike offer that fits your brand and sales channel. Depending on your project, customization discussions can cover:
- Private label packaging: Present the product under your own brand.
- Pack quantities: Develop configurations for retail, trade customers, or installation projects.
- Labels and barcodes: Align packaging information with your distribution requirements.
- Instruction inserts: Provide installation and product information for your customers.
- Product dimensions or design changes: Discuss feasibility, tooling, and sample approval for a modified specification.
For packaging changes, send your artwork, language requirements, and preferred pack format. For product changes, provide a drawing or detailed brief so that you can confirm feasibility before moving forward.
The standard GKPC-17 specification remains a 33 cm, two-row strip with 12 spikes. Any modified version should have its own confirmed specifications.
Shipping and Delivery Coordination
You need your bird spike order to reach the next stage of your supply chain without unnecessary delays. Paiste supports prompt dispatch through coordinated production, packaging, and shipment preparation.
To plan your order efficiently, provide your destination, purchase quantity, packaging requirements, and target arrival date when requesting a quotation. This helps you compare suitable transport options and identify timing requirements early.
Keep production lead time, dispatch timing, and transit time separate in your purchasing plan. Your final schedule will depend on the confirmed order, customization, shipping route, and customs clearance.

FAQ
1. How many GKPC-17 strips do you need for a 10-metre run?
For a straight, single row covering 10 metres, you need at least 31 strips based on the nominal 33 cm base length. However, you should allow for layout adjustments, corners, and spare pieces. Wider ledges may require additional parallel rows, so confirm surface depth before calculating your final order quantity.
2. Can you use this model to deter every bird species?
You should not assume one spike layout suits every bird species. Effectiveness depends on bird size, landing behaviour, surface coverage, and local pressure. Smaller birds may use gaps that larger birds cannot. Share site photographs and target species with Paiste so you can assess suitability before choosing your installation layout.
3. What should you compare when choosing plastic or stainless steel bird spikes?
You should compare appearance, installation conditions, material specifications, and your customers’ expectations. Transparent plastic can suit projects where visual discretion matters, while stainless steel options may suit other mechanical or environmental requirements. Ask for the relevant dimensions and performance evidence instead of choosing solely by material name or unit price.
4. Can you assess a sample before placing a wholesale order?
You can contact Paiste to discuss sample availability before committing to wholesale quantities. Use your evaluation to check transparency, dimensions, packaging, and the proposed installation method. Confirm sample charges and delivery arrangements directly. For customized orders, agree on an approved reference sample and written specifications before authorizing bulk production work.
5. What information should you provide to receive an accurate quotation?
Send your required quantity, destination, preferred packaging, and any private label requirements. Include GKPC-17 as the model reference and explain whether you need the standard specification or a modified design. Your intended shipping method and target arrival date also help Paiste prepare a quotation aligned with your actual purchasing requirements.
6. Are installation adhesive and screws included with your order?
Do not assume adhesive or screws are included in the standard package. Confirm the exact contents when requesting your quotation, especially if you plan to sell installation kits. Fixings should suit the mounting surface and outdoor conditions. You should also confirm adhesive compatibility with polycarbonate before recommending it to customers.
7. What is the minimum order quantity for customized bird spikes?
Your minimum order quantity depends on whether you choose standard GKPC-17 strips, customized packaging, or a modified product design. Contact Paiste with your proposed specification and initial purchase volume. You can then confirm the applicable minimum quantity, tooling requirements, and pricing before deciding how to launch or replenish your range.
8. Can you obtain documentation for your destination market?
You can request available documentation for the exact model, material specification, and destination market. Explain any retailer, importer, or project requirements before ordering. Paiste can then clarify which supporting records are available and whether additional testing needs discussion. Do not assume that one report covers every configuration or export market.
