Unobstructed Views with Big Cat Strength
Modern tiger exhibits aim to create a seamless transition between the animal and the visitor. Our 3″ x 3″ x 1/8″ handwoven stainless steel tiger netting is engineered to provide maximum transparency while maintaining the safety standards required for the world’s largest felines. By using a larger 3-inch aperture, we reduce the amount of visible metal, allowing the mesh to blend into the landscape—especially when ordered in our signature Black Oxide finish.
Why Choose 3″ x 3″ (1/8″) Tiger Netting?
Ideal for Overhead Containment: Tigers are capable of jumping nearly 16 feet vertically. For large habitats, the 3″ aperture is the preferred choice for roof netting because it is lighter than 2″ mesh, reducing the weight load on support cables and perimeter posts while providing absolute security.
Optimized for Photography: Professional zoo exhibits require clear sightlines. The 3″ aperture allows camera lenses to focus through the mesh easily, providing an immersive experience for visitors without compromising on the 1/8″ (3.2mm) cable’s break-strength.
Climate Resilient: Whether facing heavy snow loads in a Siberian Tiger habitat or tropical humidity for Sumatran Tigers, the SS304 material remains rust-proof and structurally sound.
Elastic Safety: Unlike rigid fencing, our handwoven rope mesh acts as a giant shock absorber. If a tiger jumps against the mesh, the diamonds flex slightly to absorb the energy, protecting the animal from injury while remaining perfectly secure.

Absolutely transforms the visitor experience. We installed the Black Oxide finish for our new tiger habitat, and it truly lives up to the ‘invisible barrier’ claim. The 3″ aperture is so open that guests forget there’s even a mesh there, offering uninterrupted views and incredible photo opportunities. It’s rare to get this level of security without compromising the aesthetic, but this product delivers perfectly.

Engineered for safety and durability. We chose this SS304 mesh for our large-span roof enclosure, and it has been flawless. The 1/8″ cable provides immense strength and peace of mind, while the slight flexibility of the handwoven mesh acts as a shock absorber. It handles the dynamic movement of our tigers without any sign of stress, proving it’s worth every penny for absolute security.

Installed in a habitat with high humidity, and the rust-proof SS304 material is a game-changer. We were replacing older fencing that corroded, but this mesh looks as good as the day it was put up. Plus, its lighter weight compared to tighter weaves made the installation on our support cables much simpler. It’s a practical, long-term solution for any climate.

Designed with the animal’s perspective in mind. The 3″ x 3″ aperture is perfect for overhead containment, creating a more open and natural environment for our tigers. They seem completely at ease, and the mesh blends seamlessly into the landscape. We’ve received unanimous praise from both keepers and visitors for how clean and unobtrusive the enclosure looks.

Top-tier quality from a reliable supplier. The handwoven stainless steel construction is consistent and robust, with no weak points. We ordered a custom size, and it arrived perfectly to spec. For any zoo looking to upgrade their large predator exhibits with a product that balances high-visibility with uncompromised strength, this is the industry standard.
