Top Netting at Birmingham Zoo - attached to 12.5 gauge woven 2"x4"mesh fence

 

You have a collection of valuable birds you want to contain within a certain area. You want the birds to be safe from predatory birds from above. You want to cover a large area. You want a high ceiling or open roof. Installation needs to be as easy, as safe and as fast as possible. The material you use must be soft and flexible enough so that the birds will not hurt themselves when they come in contact with the netting while they are in flight.

What can satisfy all these requirements?

Flight Pen Top Netting

Used by zoos, commercial game bird farms, animal rehabilitation and backyard hobbyists. The multiple strands of woven black polypropylene provide protection for your birds. Experience the benefits:

      • Rolls are light weight and easy to handle
      • Support structure can be less robust, less expensive
      • Large size rolls make it easier to cover large areas
      • No need to make a patchwork of smaller rolls
      • Flexibility makes Top Net softer - less chance of injuring you and your birds
      • Available in a wide variety of roll sizes, weight and mesh sizes
      • UV resistant for long life
      • Top Net will not rust
      • Mesh is resistant to mildew and rot
Do you have any birds that need safety and protection?

Hi I'm curious about whether a climbing fox (we have those in Cal) could get up there and chew through the mesh easily.

We had a raccoon chew through black nylon netting and killed a flightless turkey vulture, We removed nylon netting and covered with wire mesh.

We're building an indoor and outdoor enclosure for an Eurasian Eagle Owl for a small local zoo. I'm wondering if 16 gauge vinyl coated 1"x1" welded wire mesh will be strong & durable enough?

Those owls are quite large. I would think the 16 gauge would be strong enough. I recommend that you give Jeff Pribble at the Birmingham Zoo a call. He has built many of their bird displays and would I trust his advice.

I work with the Florida Wild Animal Hospital in Melbourne Florida. We are building a new flight cage for our seabirds (Pelicans, Seagulls and Terns) and we have been having a problem with Bobcats. We are looking into having a 42” electric fence that will surround the flight cage and we need to find a coated wire to cover the rest of the structure. If any of your products are Bobcat proof that would eliminate the need for the electric fence.  
 
The size is 20’ X 55' by 16’ in height. Do you have any suggestions? 
 
Thanks, 
 
Robert
