Zoo Protective Netting 5mm x 5mm Hexagonal Mesh 1.6mm Wire Hot Dip Galvanized 2.5m Height
Product Spotlights
Anping County Boli Hardware Wiremesh Products Factory, a manufacturer established in 1998, proudly presents our Zoo Protective Netting featuring a precise 5mm x 5mm hexagonal mesh, 1.6mm wire diameter, and 2.5m height, hot dip galvanized for superior durability. Engineered for the demanding environments of zoos, wildlife parks, and animal enclosures, this netting offers a perfect balance of strength, visibility, and corrosion resistance. With over two decades of experience and annual export values exceeding US$5 million to global markets, our netting is trusted by zoos and wildlife facilities worldwide.
Key Features & Technical Specifications
- Hexagonal Mesh Pattern: The 5mm x 5mm hexagonal openings provide excellent visibility for visitors while preventing small animals from escaping or large predators from penetrating. The hexagonal shape offers superior structural integrity compared to square mesh, distributing tension evenly.
- 1.6mm Wire Diameter: Thick enough to withstand strong impacts from animals, yet flexible enough for easy installation on uneven terrain. The wire is drawn from high-quality low carbon steel, ensuring consistent tensile strength.
- Hot Dip Galvanized Finish: The entire netting is immersed in molten zinc, creating a thick, uniform coating that protects against rust, humidity, and UV radiation. This treatment extends the service life to 15–20 years in outdoor conditions, even in coastal or tropical climates.
- 2.5m Height: Ideal for medium to large animal enclosures, this height acts as a effective barrier against climbing animals such as monkeys, kangaroos, and big cats. The rolls are supplied in standard lengths (customizable) for easy handling.
- Easy Installation: The netting is flexible and can be cut, bent, or joined with connectors. It can be mounted on wooden posts, metal poles, or concrete walls using simple tools.
- Low Maintenance: The galvanized surface resists dirt and debris buildup; occasional rinsing with water restores its appearance. No painting or additional coating is required.

Benefits for Zoo Operators & Wildlife Facilities
- Animal Safety: The smooth, burr-free edges of the galvanized wire prevent injuries to animals. The small mesh size (5mm) also prevents smaller animals (e.g., birds, rodents) from getting stuck.
- Visitor Experience: The hexagonal mesh offers unobstructed views of the animals, enhancing the zoo visitor's experience. The silver-gray color blends well with natural surroundings.
- Long-Term Cost Savings: Hot dip galvanizing eliminates the need for frequent replacements or maintenance. The netting retains its integrity for decades, reducing capital expenditure.
- Customizable Options: We can supply the netting in different heights (up to 4m) or wire diameters upon request. Rolls can be cut to specific lengths or pre-assembled with tensioning wires.
- Global Shipping: Our factory in Hengshui, Hebei, China, is strategically located near major ports (Tianjin, Qingdao, Shanghai, etc.). We export to North America, Europe, Oceania, and other regions with reliable logistics.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
-
Is this netting suitable for containing large predators like lions or tigers?
Yes, the 1.6mm wire diameter combined with hot dip galvanized strength provides excellent resistance against impact and clawing. However, for very large or aggressive animals, we recommend using a thicker wire (e.g., 2.0mm) or reinforcing the netting with additional support. Please consult our technical team for specific recommendations. -
Can the netting be installed on uneven ground?
Absolutely. The flexibility of the hexagonal mesh allows it to conform to slopes and contours. It can be tensioned using posts set at appropriate intervals. We can provide installation guidelines upon request. -
How long does the hot dip galvanized coating last?
In typical outdoor environments (temperate climates), the coating lasts 15–20 years before showing signs of rust. In harsh coastal or industrial areas, the lifespan may be slightly shorter. Regular rinsing with water can extend its life. -
Do you offer custom sizes?
Yes, we can customize the height (up to 4m), roll length, and wire diameter. Minimum order quantities may apply for custom sizes. Contact us with your requirements. -
Is the netting safe for small animals like birds or reptiles?
The 5mm mesh opening is very small, so it will contain most birds, small mammals, and reptiles. However, for very tiny animals (e.g., newborn chicks), you may need a finer mesh (e.g., 2mm). We can supply different mesh sizes if needed. -
What is the packaging and shipping method?
Each roll is wrapped in waterproof protective film and secured with steel strapping. Multiple rolls are packed in wooden crates or pallets. We ship via sea freight to major ports worldwide. FOB price includes loading at the port. -
Can I get a sample before placing a bulk order?
Yes, sample rolls are available for a nominal fee. The cost is refundable upon bulk order. Shipping charges apply. Contact us for sample request. -
What is your factory’s annual production capacity?
Our factory has multiple production lines and can produce over 1,000 tons of wire mesh per month, ensuring timely delivery for large projects.
