Your One-Stop Wire Mesh Fence Supplier | POLYMETAL
Stainless steel aviary mesh (ferrule-pressed or hand-woven/knotted) protects delicate feathers, preserves natural behavior, and provides open, light-filled habitats. The mesh’s smooth, snag-free surface, high tensile capacity, and long service life make it the preferred enclosure material for zoos, sanctuaries, bird gardens, and private collections.
Why choose stainless steel aviary mesh?
- Smooth, feather-safe surface: The polished, snag-resistant interface helps prevent feather and toe injuries.
- Lightweight yet strong: Easy handling and installation with robust performance against snow, rain, and gale.
- Highly flexible & configurable: Rope diameter, aperture, width, and length can be tailored to species and habitat size.
- Excellent visibility: Diamond openings keep sightlines open for visitors and monitors natural behaviors.
- Corrosion resistance & longevity: Marine-grade stainless options with service life often exceeding 30 years; minimal maintenance.

Structure & Formability Stainless Steel Aviary Mesh
The stainless steel rope mesh uses a unique hand-woven interlocking technique with standard 7×7 and 7×19 cables, creating diamond openings from 1″ through 4″. Panels can be tensioned into three-dimensional forms—funnel-like, cylindrical, or spherical—supporting immersive, species-appropriate habitats.

Design & Installation Notes
- Species-specific sizing Choose aperture and rope diameter to prevent escape and protect feathers/feet (see tables above).
- Framing & tension Use perimeter cables/frames with calibrated tensioners; avoid over-tensioning to keep diamond geometry uniform.
- Interfaces Detail at doors, keeper access, and service penetrations with reinforced edges or clamp plates.
- Environmental loads Verify snow, wind, and impact loads; select 316/316L for coastal or high-pollution sites.
- Maintenance Rinse periodically; inspect anchors, swages, and turnbuckles annually; re-tension as needed.
