How to Choose the Right Animal Protection Net for Different Species?

        When selecting animal protection mesh, safety, durability, and visibility are the three essential factors to consider. The weight and behavioral habits of different animals determine the priority of netting material, rope diameter, and mesh size. To ensure long-term effectiveness and low maintenance, stainless steel is recommended as its weather resistance and suitability for continued use with ordinary steel, meeting the requirements for long-term outdoor exposure.

        Ⅰ. How to quickly select a breed based on animal type?

        1. For small birds (finch, goldfinches): For small birds (finch, goldfinches): A combination of fine rope diameter and small hole diameter is recommended to prevent birds from squeezing out. A typical mesh size is around 25-30 mm, and the rope diameter can be approximately 1.2-1.6 mm.

        2. For medium-sized birds and birds of prey (parrots, eagles): A more secure anchoring method and a moderate mesh size are needed to prevent damage to the net from attacks. A rope diameter of 1.6 mm or thicker is recommended.

        3. For primates (monkeys, orangutans): Flexible and smooth cross-woven nets are preferred. Avoid sharp joints. The stainless steel rope mesh diameter and knots must be able to withstand pulling forces, and the seams should be reinforced to prevent overturning.

        4. Large animals (tigers, lions, etc.): Use thicker rope diameter (e.g., 2.4mm or more) and smaller mesh size to improve impact and tear resistance, and combine with steel frame and thickened hooks.

        Ⅱ. Key Points of Materials and Structure

        High-quality stainless steel rope mesh typically uses handmade X-cross knots, which are structurally stable, not easily shifted or deformed, and easy to maintain and clean over the long term; the black anodizing treatment reduces glare and enhances the viewing experience.

        Ⅲ. Installation and maintenance recommendations

        • Installation: Avoid localized stress concentration; use cushioning pads or even clamping at the edges to reduce friction between the netting and hardware.

        • Corrosion Prevention and Cleaning: Use 316 grade stainless steel or coated finishes whenever possible; regularly inspect and clean the netting, joints, and hooks; replace worn components promptly.

        • Monitoring: Establish a maintenance log to record the time of each inspection and replacement to help predict lifespan and optimize spare parts inventory.
