Engineered for the World’s Best Climbers
Leopards are unique among the big cats for their agility and ability to climb vertical surfaces. Standard chain-link or larger 3″ and 4″ meshes can often allow a leopard to hook their paws and climb out. Our 2″ x 2″ x 1/8″ handwoven stainless steel mesh features a tighter weave that significantly discourages climbing behavior, ensuring that your animals stay safely within their habitat.
Why Choose 2″ x 2″ (1/8″) Leopard Fencing?
Anti-Climb Aperture: The 2-inch opening is small enough to prevent large cats from getting a secure foothold or reaching their paws through the mesh, a critical safety feature for both keepers and the public.
Impact-Resistant Strength: Leopards are “ambush predators” capable of sudden, high-energy lunges. The 1/8″ (3.2mm) cable diameter provides the high tensile strength needed to absorb these impacts without deformation.
Corrosion-Free SS304: Unlike galvanized wire that can rust and weaken over time, our 304-grade stainless steel is built for permanent outdoor exposure, maintaining its structural integrity for over 30 years.
Cub-Safe Security: If your exhibit houses younger leopards or cubs, the 2″ mesh is essential. It prevents small heads or limbs from becoming trapped, providing peace of mind for breeding facilities.

Heavy-duty material, surprisingly workable.
I installed this for a private client. Despite the heavy 1/8″ gauge, the handwoven nature makes it flexible enough to tension properly on a perimeter frame without kinking. It arrived in perfect condition and lays flat beautifully. The client specifically wanted the “Leopard” spec for the anti-climb properties, and the end result looks incredibly secure and professional. High recommend.

Finally, a mesh that respects leopard agility.
We run a sanctuary for rescued big cats, and leopards are notorious for bending standard chain-link. This mesh is a game changer. The 3.2mm stainless wire is incredibly impact-resistant; it absorbed a full-force lunge from a young male with zero deformation. Also critical: the 2″ spacing is small enough that curious cubs can’t get their heads stuck. Essential for breeding or cub housing.

High-end aesthetics without compromising security.
Often, “anti-climb” mesh looks industrial or feels flimsy. This Leopard fencing strikes the perfect balance. The 1/8″ cable is thick enough to stop lunges but thin enough to maintain high visibility for guests. The Black Oxide variant eliminated the “cage look” entirely. Our visitors commented that the barriers felt invisible. Extremely satisfied with the premium feel.

Built like a tank, looks like a premium finish.
I was skeptical about the price until I unrolled this fencing. The handwoven quality is immediately noticeable—consistent tension and zero loose strands. We opted for the Black Oxide finish, and it genuinely disappears against the trees. No glare, no rust worries (the SS304 is top-tier), and it handled the coastal humidity immediately. This is a 30-year investment, not a product.

Absolute gold standard for big cat safety.
We installed this to upgrade our snow leopard exhibit. The 2″x2″ aperture is the perfect size—it completely prevents our female from getting any sort of claw-hold, which was a constant worry with our old 3″ mesh. The 1/8″ SS304 cable feels incredibly rigid; it doesn’t budge even when the cats test the perimeter. For anyone housing agile climbers, this is worth every penny. Finally, true peace of mind.
