Assembly Instructions

Why Pole Height Matters

For the Falcon FrightKite to work effectively, it must be clearly visible to pest birds before they approach your property. Birds instinctively avoid anything that resembles a predator — but only if they see it in time. That’s why pole height is so important.

Taller isn’t always better — the right pole height depends on your landscape. The goal is simple: keep the kite above obstructions and within clear view from a distance.

Hilly Terrain (Lower Slope)
