The primary objective of the
Gullsweep®
is to make gulls uncomfortable so
they will select another roosting
sight. Every bird has their
predators and so they are always in
a survival mode.
Gullsweep®
by its very unique nature creates
that unknown fear that the moving
object represents a potential
danger. Thus with other alternative
locations available, it is more
suitable to go elsewhere.
If a gull has been
roosting, it is most important to clean up the
residue promptly. Mess only creates more mess as
it is a strong indication that the location is a
safe one.
Gullsweeps®
are not expensive and can be easily mounted,
dismounted and stored quickly when boating so
that using several on a boat is very realistic
and more effective.

other when rods are folded up thus taking

Canvas
Pole mount GS-CP £10.95
Canvas Pole Mount is designed to fit the plastic tip of most common
Cover Support Poles (Taylor Made, Taco, etc) that pass through a grommet
in the cover. It is important that the canvas is taught so the pole does
not fall to one side or the other and the wind will not get under the
cover. Check to see that the Gullsweep® arms are parallel to the water
and that the vanes will not touch the surface (and produce wear to the
canvas).
-
Thread the Centre
Pin provided with your GS-1 into the threaded end of the GS-CP.
-
Place the
Stainless Steel Washer on the Centre Pin, then the O-Ring to keep it
in place.
-
Push the GS-CP Assembly on the Support Pole before the canvas has
been installed.
Notes:
-
If the GS-CP
hole is too tight you can cut a slot in the open end with a hack
saw. This will allow it to expand slightly. Cut a little at a
time until it fits securely.
-
If the GS-CP
is too loose on the support pole, use tape or a rubber band to
build up pin dia.
-
Adjust the
pole height to have some tension on the cover. Loose poles may
get picked up by the wind and the bottom moved out of position.
-
Insure
adequate clearance between the rotating Gullsweep and the cover
to prevent wear or tearing of cover. If necessary, the GS-CP can
be put on the Pole after the canvas for more height, or the arms
can be bent up and down, level to gain height over the canvas
(see GS-1 Instruction Sheet.)

Model GS-RK - GS-1 Retainer Kit
(add it to your existing Gullsweep)
For
those applications when a
Gullsweep®
could fall off of a non permanent mounting — i.e., GS-FM pulled from a
canopy might turn sideways and the Gullsweep® could slide off the centre
mounting pin and go over board. Unfortunately,
Gullsweeps®
do not float
-
Simple to install and will take the
worry out of the situation.
-
Model GS-RK is made up of 4 pieces;
SS Bracket, Shrink Tube, Grommet and O-ring
-
Slide shrink tubing over lower portion of centre hub. Then, insert
straight section of stainless steel bracket between hub and shrink
tubing so bend is just above bottom of hub. Apply heat from a hair
dryer while turning to shrink tubing tight to hub and bracket. Let
cool. (A candle can also be used but do not over heat or let flame
touch hub or shrink tube).
-
Next, push Grommet over centre support pin, Wide end first down to
3" from the tip (pointed end). Then slide o-ring to top of grommet
to further secure
-
Slide Hub onto pin and gently pull SS bracket over grommet. Adjust
grommet and o-ring position so there Is 1/8” or more clearance above
and below grommet. Hub and SS bracket must not touch centre pin or
retaining ring

Model GS-AB - Adapter Bracket
£11.45 |
Model GS-AB - Adapter Bracket:
(Non-Permanent)
To be
used on any Gullsweep mounting to adjust the centre mounting pin to a
vertical position.
-
Quick to implement.
-
Especially helpful on the standard permanent GS-4 mounting block.
-
Decks normally may have a pitch of some sort so water runs off. Thus
a mounting pin directly screwed into the block would not be
vertical.
-
The GS-AB bracket is designed so it can be easily bent to achieve a
vertical centre pin position.
-
Measures 3/4'' x 2''x1/16'' (stainless steel).
