A two foot high beech tree.Prior to this, just pigeons sitting twenty-five feet up, on top of the chimney just being pigeons, but sometimes so noisy!Clearly the tree had to go, so I borrowed some long ladders from the neighbour and gingerly went up high enough to look into the chimney where, clearly, a pigeon had kindly 'deposited' a seed which, in turn, had developed into a healthy little tree with a one inch trunk. (Broke off the tree as I could not pull it out, and treated the area with neat Roundup. That should do it!)It is a ten-inch diameter straight-sided chimney pot with a rounded top edgeHaving looked around for a suitable cowl, I chose this cowl based on reviews and the highly respected maker.Prior to climbing up to fit it, I pre-assembled it, using threadlock on the strap screws to ensure no loosening over time. With tools in hand, a pair of cutters to remove the excess left after adjusting the restraining strap, and a small ratchet and socket for tightening up the strap, I clambered up and pulled the cowl up behind me on a rope.Fitting issue: The description states that it will fit pots up to 250mm diameter. It would, except for the protrusion of the strap securing screws and their ferrules into the ring of the fitting. This reduces the 'sit-on' useful diameter by about three-quarters of an inch. In order to deal with this, I put the cowl on top of the pot edge and bent the cowl straps tightly to fit under the pot rim and then tightened the fastening band over the straps directly under the rim and bent the excess of the straps up over the fastening band.The clever fliplock design of the adjusting screw design for the fastening band allows for very fast initial adjustment and subsequent full tightening. Once tightened, just cut off the excess, pull up the straps and all was done.Tight, good looking and, hopefully, long-lasting.The pigeons now sit on the nearby tv antenna where their 'deposits' simply fall to ground. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5.0 out of 5 stars As effective as some dearer brands. *by P***N on Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 21 February 2021* I have had this on the chimney for over a year now and it shows no sign of deteriorating, despite several big winter storms battering it and having weeks on end of daily fires giving it a good test of heating & cooling. I did a roof inspection with my DJI Mavic Air 2 drone and could see no sign of any wear - in fact it looked as good as new. The roofer who put it up for me said it fit perfectly and was a doddle to install. The last one began to fail about 5-6 years into it's life - and completely fell apart after 7 years - so we have a benchmark to go by. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ 4.0 out of 5 stars Great, good value, and arrived quickly. *by A***R on Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 7 February 2017* These Chimney Cowls are perfect for what I needed them for. We love huddling around our open fire but because it is a very wide opening when it rain or is windy we do get a lot of debris coming down (despite regular cleaning). We have a tree relatively near the house on the side of the chimney and so these protect us from debris, leaves, and birds (we have an annoying family of wood pigeons in the area!). These were very easy to fit, good value for money and arrived in 24 hours. I have a standard Chimney width so the fitting was perfect. I cannot imagine any chimney causing a problem. The fittings were sound as well despite earlier reviews claiming they are of poor quality. Overall, I would definitely recommend these. 4 stars at the moment until they have been in place for at least 6 months then I will post and update. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - πŸ›’ **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** β€” Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** β€” Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - πŸ’° **No Hidden Fees** β€” All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - πŸ”„ **15-Day Free Returns** β€” Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - πŸ”’ **Secure Payments** β€” Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** β€” Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.in/products/50016568-high-top-birdguard-solid-fuel](https://www.desertcart.in/products/50016568-high-top-birdguard-solid-fuel) --- *Product available on Desertcart India* *Store origin: IN* *Last updated: 2026-05-20*
