In recent years, affected by many factors, zoo design has fallen into the predicament of contradicting urbanization and ecology. Therefore, under the premise of ensuring that urban zoos play their basic functions, improving the living environment of animals and the visiting environment of the park has become an important issue in zoo planning and design. This paper takes the creation of an ecological tiger enclosure as an example to illustrate the ecological design concept of tiger enclosure in zoos, and discusses zoo tiger enclosure netting.

The design of a zoo tiger exhibit is a complex systematic project. During the planning and design process, we should prioritize ecological concepts to create a more natural living environment for the animals. Creating a suitable zoo enclosure is crucial as it has a major impact on the health of these majestic animals. Tigers are one of the largest cats. They usually require large habitats for a sizable prey population. Therefore, to ensure effective captive care, zoo enclosures must be properly planned for their natural habitats to promote more natural behaviors.

Creating an Ecological Zoo Tiger Enclosure – Stainless Steel Zoo Tiger Enclosure Netting

As urbanization progresses, the development space of zoos is further compressed, which adversely affects the development of tiger populations. In addition, the traditional zoo adopts the way of cage captivity, which essentially changes the living environment and habits of tigers, and is not conducive to the survival of the species. Against this background, the transformation of tiger cages and the construction of ecological tiger enclosure have become the main direction for the development of urban zoos.

1. Create a Natural and Wild Environment in Accordance with Local Conditions

First of all, the designer should plan the size of the enclosure appropriately. The size of the enclosure should be fully adapted to the natural behavior of tigers. Tigers need more space to perform their natural behaviors. Enclosures that are too small are prone to stereotypical animal behavior, which is not conducive to the healthy growth of tigers. In the case of closed cages, a larger area of enclosure design restores the natural wild habitat for the animals, gradually changing the traditional way of confinement.

Tiger enclosure design requires rational planning and integration of various factors. According to the tiger’s living habits, we can choose the appropriate altitude for the enclosure. We can also design the environment to simulate the ecological environment of the animals through rational plant configuration. In this way, we not only create suitable living conditions for the animals, but also show a kind of original scene for the tourists, helping them to understand the primitive habits and living conditions of the animals. Place animal entertainment facilities in the enclosure to stimulate the natural behavior of animals. Set up a tunnel mesh to connect different species with passages. This program enhances animal social interaction and reduces stress levels, which is beneficial to animal health.

2. Selection of Stainless Steel Zoo Tiger Enclosure Netting as Construction Material

Stainless steel rope mesh is a key building material for constructing tiger enclosure. When considering tiger enclosure construction, it is important to choose safe and ecological stainless steel tiger enclosure netting to ensure a healthy and comfortable living environment for tigers. At the same time, the flexible diamond shaped stainless steel mesh is elegant and generous on the outside, and also gives the zoo an overall new look. This see-through enclosure netting not only ensures the safety of the tigers, but also provides an unobstructed view for visitors and enhances the viewing experience. It is also the best choice of building material considering the climatic and environmental conditions. This stainless steel mesh has excellent corrosion resistance and will perform at its best when installed in any harsh environment.

The Advantage of Stainless Steel Zoo Tiger Enclosure Netting

1.Protect tigers from predators:

Stainless steel mesh can effectively prevent predators from entering the tiger’s habitat and provide a relatively safe environment to avoid the tiger being threatened by predators. For tigers in captivity, escape is also a dangerous behaviour. Tiger mesh can effectively prevent tigers from accidentally escaping, protect them from external threats, and prevent them from negatively impacting the local ecosystem.

2.Provide a suitable living environment:

This mesh ensures that tigers are in a comfortable living environment. And it maximises their physiological and behavioural needs, thus facilitating breeding and reproduction. Tiger netting can provide a relatively safe breeding place and protect the cubs from the threat of predators.

3.Strong and durable material:

Mesh and rope diameter specifications should be selected according to the size of the animal as well as the aggressiveness of the animal. The more aggressive felines should use thicker rope diameter mesh. Rope diameter mesh 3.2mm is able to resist the impact of fierce animals and ensure the safety of the public. Stainless steel hand-woven mesh has smooth edges and will not harm the tiger’s skin. It is very important to choose a durable material to ensure that the cage mesh can stand the test of time and weather conditions. The selected stainless steel tiger enclosure mesh is not susceptible to rust or corrosion and can be used for a long period of time. Coastal as well as humid areas, there are more corrosion-resistant 316 stainless steel material available. Good flexibility and strength, will not be damaged in the face of fierce attacks by animals.

4.Good ventilation:

The stainless steel mesh is breathable, which ensures that the mesh will not block the air flow, and can keep the animals healthy and comfortable. The choice of easy-to-clean stainless steel material and design can effectively prevent the growth of bacteria and mold.

Installation and maintenance of tiger enclosures

According to different enclosure environments and animal characteristics, tiger enclosure netting are installed in different ways. Choose the right netting for the enclosure site and animal species in order to avoid unnecessary trouble. The breeding of large cats such as tigers requires stronger stainless steel rope netting for safe protection. Proper installation will also make the enclosure netting stronger.

The maintenance and management of the enclosure netting are equally important. The mesh as a whole is made of stainless steel and basically requires no maintenance. However, the metal brackets used to fix the mesh will wear out and loosen over time, which will affect the safety of the netting. Therefore, after the installation of the fence net must be timely inspection and maintenance to ensure the integrity and safety of the fence netting.

All in all, enclosure netting have a huge role in preventing the escape and invasion of animals, protecting the safety of animals and zoning management. In order to let the netting play a better role, please choose the reasonable material of the netting, the appropriate installation method and timely maintenance management. Let us create a healthier, safer and more environmentally friendly environment for tigers.

Conclusion

Creating a safe and natural habitat for tigers in zoos is essential for their health and conservation. The above briefly outlines how to create a natural and wild habitat for tigers and recommends safe enclosure materials. Stainless steel zoo tiger enclosure netting solutions not only keep animals and visitors safe, but can also enhance the aesthetics and design of a zoo. This mesh is made of stainless steel materials with good see-through properties, eliminating the visual obstruction between people and animals created by netting. According to the living habits of animals and the actual situation of the zoo, the stainless steel mesh is closely intertwined with the natural environment, and establishes a natural ecological environment with the survival of animals as the main point.

The product has strong tensile strength and good flexibility, which can maintain the animal fur from damage. It has been widely used in the construction of zoos and aviaries. Liulin Zoo Mesh Factory has a wide range of specifications and sizes for all kinds of animal enclosure netting. Such as primate enclosures, large aviary netting and so on.
