Balconies in Chirala homes
Balconies with rusted grills
Once the old grill is removed (a separate job), vertical cables open the balcony back up to the street and the breeze.
Upstairs family balconies
Full-height cables keep children safe while the family sits out in the evening.
Corner balconies
Each open face gets its own panel, meeting at the corner with no gap.
Balconies with decorative railings
The railing can stay, with the grill running from its top to the slab.
Near the sea
SS 316 cable resists salt corrosion, and aluminium tracks don’t rust. A rinse with fresh water now and then keeps the cables clean. With that small effort, a grill lasts many years, much longer than a net in the coastal sun.
What to plan
Full height where children live; vertical cables about 2–3 inches apart; separate corner panels; and a transparent pigeon net behind the cables if birds are a problem.
How we fit it
We measure the balcony, mark and level the track lines, fix the tracks, thread and tension the cables evenly, add side and corner panels and fit any net last.
Afterwards
Wipe the cables and press them every few months. If one is looser than the rest, we can tighten it on its own.
Grill or net?
A net is quicker and cheaper, but in strong sun and salt it needs replacing every few years. A grill costs more at the start and lasts far longer.
Combining fittings
A pigeon net behind the cables and a ceiling rack inside the balcony can go in on the same visit.
Before we come
Clear the balcony edge and send a photo with its width and height. Tell us if an old grill needs removing first.

Mistakes to avoid
Stopping halfway up. A grill that covers only part of the opening above a low parapet still leaves a climbable gap. With children, go full height.
A gap at the corners. Corner balconies need separate panels that meet without a gap.
Skipping the pigeon net. If birds are already a problem, add a transparent net behind the cables at the same time.
What the price depends on
The width and height of the balcony, the cable spacing, any corner or side panels and whether a net is added.
Can it come down later?
Yes. The tracks unscrew and the holes can be filled.
Tenants
With the owner’s agreement, tenants can fit a balcony grill and remove it when they move.
Do plants still do well?
Yes. Light, air and rain pass between the cables, so balcony plants carry on as before. Many families find the balcony becomes a place to sit again once the heavy bars are gone.
