High-Strength Netting for Flight Enclosures
Large-wing birds require spacious flight cages where the netting can absorb the energy of sudden flight impacts without stretching or snapping. Our 2″ x 2″ handwoven stainless steel mesh with a 5/64″ (2.0mm) cable is specifically built for these high-energy environments. It provides the “middle-weight” strength necessary for medium-sized birds of prey and long-legged wading birds.
Why Choose 2″ x 2″ (5/64″) Mesh?
Increased Impact Absorption: The 2.0mm cable is significantly stronger than the 1.6mm version, making it capable of handling the force of a hawk or owl landing on the mesh.
Rust-Proof Engineering: Built for permanent outdoor installation, the SS304 construction is resistant to rain, snow, and UV exposure, ensuring a lifespan of 30+ years with zero maintenance.
Bird-Friendly Texture: The hand-interwoven design creates a soft, flexible surface that protects delicate wing feathers from abrasion during contact.
Snow-Load Performance: The 2″ opening and 5/64″ cable combination is excellent for regions with winter weather, as it allows snow to pass through more easily than tighter meshes, reducing stress on your aviary frame.

I purchased this 2×2″ 316 stainless steel netting to build a secure outdoor aviary for my parrots. The quality is outstanding – the weave is tight and consistent, and the stainless steel feels incredibly robust. It’s the perfect balance of strength and visibility. Knowing my birds are safe from predators and won’t damage the mesh themselves gives me immense peace of mind. Worth every penny for a permanent, professional-grade solution.

A Dream to Work With – Strong and Manageable
After researching countless options, I chose this netting for my large garden flight. I was worried stainless steel would be too stiff, but this 5/64″ wire is surprisingly workable. It cut cleanly and was much easier to shape and attach to my frame than I anticipated. The finished structure looks incredibly clean and professional. The quality is visibly superior to anything else I’ve seen. Highly recommended for DIY enthusiasts!

Built to Last a Lifetime, No Exaggeration
This is not your average wire mesh. The 316 marine-grade stainless steel is the real deal, perfect for withstanding all weather conditions without rusting. The 2×2″ pattern is ideal for keeping birds safely contained while allowing clear viewing. It’s an investment, but when you consider it will literally last for decades without degrading, it becomes the most cost-effective choice. Superior product from a specialist supplier.

Finally, Mesh That Matches the Description
I’ve been disappointed by “stainless” products from big-box stores that rust. This mesh from HEB Metal Mesh is in a different league. You can immediately feel the heft and see the perfect welding at each joint. The 5/64″ diameter is strong without being overly heavy. It arrived well-packaged and exactly as described. My aviary is now the safest and most beautiful structure in my yard. Five stars for meeting and exceeding expectations.
