pic of the alarm panel, it has 8 wired zones, just a question about beams, i have around a 1-2ft section of void across majority of the roof, the cages are below, the metal roof is above, if i am using beams which are say 20cm high, am i right in thinking the beams will travel within that 20cm height, if the beams had say a 50cm height, then the beam would travel through a cage and will get triggered, i could do with some clarity on this please.

thanks for your responses, what beams would you reccomend

No traffic nearby, the whole building vibrates on windy days, its quite cool now with a shade spanning the entire roof, i have looked at beams but coverage is not going to be as good, what about curtain type pirs or would any heat from the roof set these off too? thanks for your responses

I have has a wireless alarm system installed by myself, ebay, all door contacts and pirs work fine in the house. However in my garden i have a building which i keep parrots in with dimensions as follows. The whole building is made of metal box profile roofing sheets 35ft x 20ft. Its height is 6ft at the front and rises to 8ft at the back, the whole roof area is also made out of metal box profile roofing sheets except for two areas. From front to back of the roof to the left side of the building I have a one metre section of plastic profile sheeting (3ft x 20ft) to let the light in, at the right hand side of the building I have a similar strip but with wire mesh to let air/rain in etc. Inside I have cages which are 6ft high, these touch the roof on the inside at the front but I have more and more space above the cages as you move towards the back of the building where the height is 8ft. Each cage is 3ft off the ground suspended so my parrots are 3-6ft off the ground. Obviously in summer the metal roof got heated up and it was extremely hot so i now have a shade cloth covering the whole roof which has brought the temperature down considerably. I placed some pet immune detectors in my building but i keep getting false alarms, false alarms start around 6am and continue through the day, i have no false alarms during the night. All the detectors are within one foot of the roof, around 7ft high and cover the roof area above the cages but below the roof. The obvious triggers could be heat changes. the birds. light coming through the perspex roofing. Although heat and light are absent during the night, the birds are still there but usually do not move about etc. I have read that pet immune detectors exclude pets from ground level and so if this is the case my birds are 3-6ft off the ground and therefore these could be triggering the pirs. I get false alarms even on cloudy days so I am questioning the pet immune side of things Can anyone shed any light to my issue and would dual tech pirs be a better option. Obviously the room is exposed to the elements where i have used wire mesh in the roof and wind etc comes through. My alarm panel does have wired options, i have attached a drawing of the shed from above. Your help would be greatly appreciated.
