Zoo mesh secret, history, choice and price

What is Zoo Mesh?

Zoo mesh is a type of wire mesh product. The difference is, this mesh is mainly used for zoo projects. for example, bird aviary and animal enclosure fence. Almost all animals can use this wire rope zoo mesh wire for fence. For instance, monkey, wolf, deer, gibbons, tigers, leopards, and lions. And can used for many birds exhibit, for instance, out-door aviary, small birds, small parrots, macaw, eagle etc. So the founder’s name is “zoo mesh”.

In fact, all type of wire mesh, as long as they used for zoo projects, also can say it “zoo mesh”.

Nothing but they have their own names, welded wire mesh, hexagonal wire netting, etc. For so many years, zoo mesh specifically to a type of hand-woven, material is stainless steel rope.

Of course, this wire rope zoo mesh wire has advantages that other products do not have. for example, hand woven, long life, and beautiful appearance.

Interesting things

Because this mesh has no itself official name, so you can see it has many names, but only one same product. The purpose is, to let clients find the products as they understand. So in the market, you can see “hand-woven stainless steel netting, stainless steel rope mesh, stainless steel cable mesh, hand-woven cable-mesh” etc. More than one name. But you need to know, all these are the same products. Hand made technology, use material is stainless steel wire rope, whether 304 or 316.

In the market, there has a queer things, for wire mesh, also have many different name: wire netting, wire net etc. So who can answer me, what is the difference between mesh and netting and net?

Zoo mesh wire history

SOURCE

At the earliest time, the handwoven stainless steel netting from the USA. And in cooperation with one of my friends, I remember the guy’s name is Carlos. He was the inventor of handwoven stainless steel netting. Because in the USA, the labor cost is very higher, so he came to China and processed with us. Until now, you can also see Carlos mesh on the internet.

HISTORY

About 2005, we built the first factory specialized in producing mesh. And start to sell at home, most sell to south China zoos, such as Chengdu zoo, Shanghai zoo etc. At that time, we named the factory huamei metal mesh factory. Two years later, we tried to sell our mesh to the world. Because Calibration clients are Zoos, we name the mesh “zoo mesh”. At that time, all was difficult; no broadband, only had ADSL, no website, no ads. But these years we have Accumulated many customer resources and gained a high reputation.

NOW

Until now, many companies have shown this type of mesh on their websites, but most of them can’t process this. Please understand, this type mesh panel size is customized, then this determine factory can’t process with many stock. So this is incoherent production and will waste more and more cost. In China, only 4-5 factories regular production capacity. This includes Huamei, Ketong, Liulin, etc.

How to understand zoo mesh technology?

From now, we name the wire rope zoo mesh wire is “handwoven stainless steel netting”, only let it more image.

Firstly, we choose a CAD printed mould. For precise control of the mesh hole size, this mold can be chosen from customer-placed orders. For example: 1″, 1.5″, 2″ ,3″, 4″ etc. The numbers show what length from one cross point to the contiguous other cross point. See the photo, understand the hole size is, From A to B, and from B to C, and from C to D, and from D to A, all are same number.

Secondly, we choose material, based on customers’ requirements. The stainless steel wire rope zoo mesh diameter includes 3/64″ (1.2mm), 1/16″ (1.6mm), 5/64″(2.0mm), 3/32(2.4mm) and 1/8″ (3.2mm), material with 304 and 316. Different stainless steel wire cables have different break force, this matching different animal enclosure, and bird aviary project. For example, 3/64″, and 1/16″ stainless steel wire rope usually applied to bird netting mesh, aviary mesh. 5/64″ stainless steel wire rope usually applied to monkey fence. 1/8″ and 3/32″ stainless steel wire rope usually applied to tiger fence, lion fence mesh and leopard mesh and macaw exhibit, etc.

Thirdly, start to woven. please see, the stainless steel wire rope structure is 7 x 7 or 7 x 19. Then we need to use tools to pick up the stainless steel wire rope, let it to 3 and 4. Worker can let other stainless steel wire rope can across, the end, every cross-point, need workers across twice. One worker outputs about 1000 – 2000 cross points. Maybe you cannot understand the number. I only say one data: for 1” x 1” mesh, it will have 1600 cross points per m2.

What is different of handwoven stainless steel netting and Welded Wire Mesh?

For this, only a small knowledge. I seen an article to introduce the different of handwoven stainless steel netting and welded wire mesh. If interesting, can see it:

Welded Vs. Woven Mesh Wire Fences

Until now, I think you can understand the zoo mesh wire products very well. Therefore, if you want to choose this type of mesh, you need to get some basic knowledge:

This is the biggest difference of handwoven stainless steel netting and other wire mesh products. The mesh panel size is customized based on your design. Other wire mesh products, will tell you the standard size is 1.5meters x 30meter a roll or 2meters x 30meters a roll. But we will tell you to buy as much as you need.

How to choose best specifications to suited for your projects?

Of course, there are many differences at everybody understands. We only tell you our recommended for some different applications. You can choose by yourself or based on our list, that no matter.

What is the best mesh for out-door aviary?

In general, the out-door aviary has a large design and will feed many kinds of birds. Therefore, we recommend the zoo mesh 1” x 1” holes for the aviary. They can hold most kinds of birds out. For the wire rope diameter, you can choose 3/64” or 1/16”. No other difference, 3/64” price lower and weight will be light.

For the HM1225 and HM1625 mesh, each sheet maxi size is, width less than 60 feet and height less than 25 feet. This is to say, you can customize any size based on the rule. No problem 10′ x 5′, no problem 45′ x 20′, this confirms.

Most importantly, zoo mesh is stretchable. So when you receive the mesh, you will see the mesh is not your envision. Don’t worry, if you order from us at first, you will see this problem. No problem for installation, just fix it to frame, start from width to height. Likewise chain link fence installation.

However, if you can’t right install it, you can contact within 24 hours. To get the right way.

What is the best mesh for Macaw exhibit enclosure?

We recommend 2” x 2” x 3/32” handwoven stainless steel netting specification. This strong and many macaw exhibit enclosure choose it.

It is easier to choose wire rope zoo mesh for Macaw enclosure. Consider safety and Macaw resistance to bite, so 3/32″ stainless steel wire rope is enough, it breaking force up to 4091N!

Usual, macaw exhibit is not very large design. This is to say, our customized panel size is best suited. You can place any size order, even only a door. Get your first touch and show off with your friends!

What is the best mesh for flamingo exhibit enclosure?

We recommend 2” x 2” x 1/16” handwoven stainless steel netting specification, this enough strong and many flamingo exhibit enclosure choose it.

Speak the truth, if the zoo or animal park has enough place, absolutely not use a fence. Only use a handrail. But many of them always need an enclosure. So we think, the HM1650 can up to this well! Above all, this specification price is lower, and production long enough.

What is the best mesh for crane exhibit enclosure?

We recommend 2” x 2” x 5/64” handwoven stainless steel netting specification, this enough strong and many crane exhibit enclosure choose it.

In the same vein, we consider the Crane exhibit like Flamingo exhibit. But seems the crane stronger than flamingo, so we arrange the 5/64″ stainless steel rope as material.

What is the best mesh for eagle exhibit enclosure?

We recommend 2” x 2” x 5/64” handwoven stainless steel netting specification.

Eagle is fly bird, so sometimes the HM2050 is not suitable. I say this considering the mesh weight. Hm2050 has 0.8kgs/m2, it seems not very well for the large aviary desgin. Consider this,maybe HM1650 is the best mesh for eagles? You can leave a message to discuss this.

What is the best mesh for monkey exhibit enclosure?

Recommend 1.5” x 1.5” x 1/16” handwoven stainless steel netting specification.

It is difficult to recommend wire mesh for monkeys. There are too many kinds of monkeys in the world. So we took the golden monkey as a sample. Of course, there are more specifications you can choose from for different monkeys. You can contact our expert engineer to discuss this problem, just email us or leave a message.

What is the best mesh for Gorilla exhibit enclosure?

We recommend 2” x 2” x 1/8” handwoven stainless steel netting specification.

This is always what we recommend, not only gorilla enclosures can use the HM3250. Likewise Orangs, chimpanzees , Gibbons and Ape no any matter! Choosing the HM3250 is always the right choice.

What is the best mesh for tiger/Lion/Leopards exhibit enclosure?

Now we put together the three animals – Tiger, Lion, and Leopard. They are beasts of prey but are always seen in any zoo, and it is sales volume of zoo mesh products in our history. No problem 3″ x 3″ x 1/8″ (HM3276) in side and 4″ x 4″ x 1/8″ (HM32102) in roof. This is the best economic plan for tiger/lion/leopards enclosure mesh.
