Gather 12 or more lengths of tape, having first cut them 1/5 to 2/3rd the height of the support, then attach the cut lengths of tape to the top of the pole by winding the tape around the top off the pole and then twisting waterproof tape over the top to hold all in place. Sometimes it is advisable to cut a slot in the top of the pole and slip the tape down in the slot then twist and encapsulate with waterproof tape.

You can also make a pole as described above and then put the pole above the tree top and attach it to the trunk of the tree. STREAMERS: you can multiply the effect of the tape by attaching cross strips to main runners or attaching to branches. Simply cut 500mm lengths and tie to branches with waterproof tape. WARNING Only put the tape out at first bud and remove after harvest. If you leave the tape in place for too long it will no longer deter the birds.
