Liulin Black Oxide Zoo Mesh Order for Chimpanzee Enclosure
Zoo Tunnel Mesh: Promote Animal Interaction and Animal Welfare
04/01/2025Liulin zoo mesh order delivery
Last week, Liulin’s black oxide zoo mesh order was completed and shipped. The shipment will be used for chimpanzee enclosure construction. After a month’s hard work, Liulin Zoo Mesh Factory completed the production of the order for the zoo from Australia. We are glad to receive the feedback from the user. The user indicated that the construction of a new chimpanzee enclosure exhibit will no longer be limited to the practices of other zoos, but will focus more on animal welfare. The main focus of this zoo project is to create a more ecological and natural habitat for the chimpanzees. We expect that the use of black oxide zoo mesh will break the mold of the old enclosed zoo design. We expect the new project to provide a comfortable wildlife habitat for the chimpanzees.
Choosing the right aperture size for the animals is crucial in the project. Based on the size and behavior of the animals, we recommended a 50mm x 50mm mesh aperture for this project. Based on the animals’ bite force and impact strength, we recommended a 3.2mm wire diameter. The large aperture ensures ventilation and visibility, and the 3.2mm rope diameter is strong enough to resist chimpanzee impacts.
What is Liulin black oxide zoo mesh?
Liulin black oxide zoo mesh is a high-performance protective mesh specifically designed for modern zoos and wildlife conservation facilities. Black oxide mesh is made of high quality stainless steel rope through a special oxidation treatment process. This type of mesh combines beauty, durability and functionality. With its unique black color appearance and excellent physical properties, this mesh is ideal for animal enclosures, quarantine fences and display areas.
Black oxide zoo mesh surface treatment
Its surface is oxidized, which not only enhances corrosion resistance, but also effectively protects against UV rays, acid rain and other harsh environmental factors. The mesh is particularly suitable for zoo facilities that are exposed to the outdoors for long periods of time. The black color design not only reduces the visual presence of the mesh in the natural environment, but also reduces the visual disturbance to the animals. This design avoids triggering animal agitation. The black mesh also provides visitors with a clearer viewing field, making the animal display more natural and harmonious.
Zoo mesh structure
In terms of structure, Liulin black zoo oxide mesh is made of high-strength stainless steel rope weaving. The mesh size can be customized according to the habits and size of different animals. The customized production prevents small birds and primates from escaping while withstanding the impact of large beasts. The mesh surface is flexible and has no sharp edges, effectively protecting the animals from abrasions or scratches during movement.
In addition, the mesh has good light transmission and ventilation. The oxidized mesh ensures natural light in the animal’s habitat and maintains good air circulation, creating a living environment closer to nature for the animals. Its low-maintenance characteristics also greatly reduce the operating costs of zoos. Simple periodic cleaning is all that is required to maintain a long-lasting, like-new appearance and performance. Whether it’s for a fierce animal area, aviary or primate exhibit, Liulin black stainless steel oxide mesh provides a safe and reliable protection solution, while enhancing the overall aesthetic and professional image of the zoo.
What type of enclosure is recommended for chimpanzees?
Designing suitable zoo enclosure for chimpanzees requires comprehensive consideration of their physiological needs, behavioral habits, and psychological welfare. There are two models of zoo exhibit construction: closed and open.
Enclosed environments
Enclosed environments usually utilize indoor exhibit combined with limited outdoor areas. Although indoor exhibit can effectively control temperature and humidity, and prevent escape and pathogen invasion, space constraints can lead to stereotypical behaviors or psychological stress in chimpanzees. This type of design should expand the activity area as much as possible. And it is recommended to use high-strength stainless steel fencing to build climbing structures. Its corrosion and bite resistance ensures safety. Multiple levels of three-dimensional space (e.g. ropes, platforms, simulated trees) with thermostatic systems, ultraviolet lights and padded floors are required to simulate the complexity and comfort of a natural habitat.
Open environments
In contrast, unenclosed semi-natural environments are more compatible with the ecological needs of chimpanzees, such as large open-air island exhibit. The designers used natural vegetation, rocky waterways and artificial waterfalls to create a rich environment for chimpanzees to live in. These designs allow chimpanzees to freely choose their paths, forage for food and socialize, significantly reducing stressful behaviors. However, attention should be paid to perimeter protection, which can be achieved through the use of concealed black oxide zoo mesh (aperture ≤ 50mm), which avoids visual occlusion and prevents escape. Returning to the wild outdoor habitat allows chimpanzees socialization to fully develop. The ideal solution is to integrate the two modes – closing the exhibit in winter to safeguard welfare, and opening the outdoor exhibit in other seasons to achieve a balance between ecology and management.
What kind of mesh is chosen for the chimpanzee enclosure? – Stainless steel black oxide zoo mesh
When designing a chimpanzee enclosure, black oxide zoo mesh is the optimal choice. Its performance far exceeds that of traditional galvanized wire mesh, PVC coated mesh or ordinary stainless steel mesh. As highly intelligent and destructive primates, chimpanzee mesh needs to meet the requirements of safety, durability and aesthetics. Stainless steel black oxide zoo mesh is a perfect match for these needs.
The core advantages of black stainless steel oxidized mesh:
Ultra-high strength and vandalism resistance:
Chimpanzees are powerful and curious, and will repeatedly shake and tear the enclosure. Stainless steel rope mesh (usually 304 or 316) has a tensile strength far exceeding that of galvanized wire mesh. And the oxidized surface is much harder to resist scratching and impacts for a long time.
Zero Maintenance Corrosion Resistance:
The oxidized layer gives it extreme resistance to rust and adapts to high humidity environments such as rainforest exhibits. The galvanized mesh is prone to rust and the PVC-coated mesh is prone to deterioration and peeling, requiring frequent replacement.
Animal Friendly Design:
Black surface reduces the visual stimulation of reflections to animals. And the mesh ropes are burr-free to avoid chimpanzee paw or foot injuries. Mesh aperture can be customized to 50mm x 50mm or smaller to prevent fingers from getting stuck.
Ecological integration and visitor experience:
The black mesh is nearly invisible in the background of vegetation, enhancing the natural feel of the exhibit without interfering with visitor observation.
Comparison with other mesh materials
In the design of zoo chimpanzee enclosure, stainless steel black oxide zoo mesh shows significant advantages over traditional fencing materials. Compared with ordinary barbed wire, black zoo oxidized mesh completely solves the problem of rust and corrosion. Its special oxidized surface can resist corrosion in humid environments, while barbed wire is prone to rust in humid environments. Rusted wire mesh not only affects the aesthetics, but also produces sharp rusted edges, threatening the safety of animals. Although galvanized wire mesh has some rust prevention ability. The zinc layer on its surface is easy to be gnawed by chimpanzees and flake off. And there is a risk of heavy metal poisoning.
Animal safety
In terms of safety, the flexibility of the stainless steel black oxide mesh is far better than that of the rigid steel fence. When the chimpanzee shakes the fence violently, the stainless steel rope mesh can cushion the impact through elastic deformation, avoiding animal collision. In contrast, the rigid structure of steel-reinforced fences may cause chimpanzees to be injured when rushing. For mesh design, the stainless steel oxidized mesh can be optimized size of 50mm×50mm. It prevents young chimpanzee limbs from snagging and ensures that adult individuals cannot break free. In contrast, the diamond-shaped mesh of chain link fencing carries the risk of limb entrapment.
Visual experience
In terms of visual experience, the black surface has an advantage over brightly colored metal mesh. While traditional green PVC-coated wire mesh is close to natural in color, the plastic cladding is easily damaged by chimpanzee tearing, exposing the rusted wire inside. The permanent black coating of stainless steel oxidized wire mesh not only blends naturally with the vegetated environment and reduces the presence of the fence. More importantly, this low reflective property reduces the visual stress on the chimpanzees and helps maintain their natural behavioral patterns.
Taken together, black stainless steel oxidized mesh is an ideal choice for chimpanzee enclosures in modern zoos.
