Built from marine-grade 316 stainless steel and UV-resistant plastic, the device is designed to withstand coastal conditions with minimal upkeep. It installs quickly on fixed surfaces with the included PVC base and screw, and works equally well in exposed marine environments or residential rooftops.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eHow does the Salcod 2ft model stop birds from landing?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMovement and visual disruption are the core deterrents: the long-legged rods sway, spin, and vibrate in the breeze, making perching uncomfortable and unpredictable for birds.
