Season’s Greetings From Your Partner Liulin Zoo Mesh Factory
12/23/2025Model #3251 Order Shipped to South African
Recently, the final packaging and loading procedures were completed for the #3251 stainless steel rope mesh produced by Liulin Zoo Mesh Factory, officially initiating its shipment to the Republic of South Africa. This batch of protective products, embodying craftsmanship and technological expertise, will ultimately arrive at one of South Africa’s most renowned wildlife parks. The stainless steel rope mesh will establish a protective barrier for the park’s core mountain sheath area, balancing safety and ecological considerations. This collaboration is no coincidence. It stems from the wildlife park’s rigorous global selection process and extensive sample testing over more than half a year, culminating in their high recognition of our product quality and service capabilities.
Looking back at the partnership journey, the zoo initiated a global tender for protective netting suppliers over a year ago. This was prompted by issues such as aging protective facilities in the mandrill region and security vulnerabilities in certain areas. After multiple product tests and team discussions, our company’s #3251 stainless steel rope netting gained the park’s approval. Our company supplied nearly 4,000 square meters of stainless steel mandrill fence nets to the zoo.
Significant effort was invested in packaging and logistics. Considering the product’s dual sea and land transport requiring extended transit times, along with potential exposure to high temperatures and humidity, a “three-layer protective packaging solution” was implemented. The inner layer consists of moisture-proof film to block vapor penetration. The middle layer uses high-strength woven bags to prevent friction damage during transit. The outer layer features custom reinforced pallets secured with crisscrossed steel straps to avoid deformation from stacking pressure. Ultimately, the successful dispatch of this shipment of #3251 stainless steel rope netting not only addressed the wildlife park’s urgent safety requirements but also demonstrated the material’s capabilities in high-end overseas protective applications.
Selection of Specifications and Scenario Customization
Based on the types of animal activities in different areas, we can provide users with products of different specifications. To meet the special needs of the mandrill area, our company recommends a 50mm x 50mm aperture as the mandrill fence nets. The customized mesh sizes provided by our company not only ensure the blocking effect for large animals but also reduce the overall project cost.
Basic Parameters and Material Properties
Material selection: The core material is 316 stainless steel. 316 stainless steel has extremely strong corrosion resistance, UV resistance, and high-temperature resistance. In the application scenarios of wildlife parks, 316 stainless steel can withstand extreme temperature differences. Even if exposed to strong ultraviolet radiation for a long time, it will not experience material aging or brittleness. At the same time, its anti-salt spray corrosion ability far exceeds industry standards, effectively resisting erosion during the rainy season in the grassland and ensuring a lifespan of over 20 years.
Wire diameter and mesh specifications: The standard model has a wire diameter of 3.2mm and a mesh specification of 50mm×50mm. A single 3.2mm stainless steel wire has extremely strong tensile strength. The 50mm×50mm aperture design has been tested repeatedly and can effectively prevent the claws of large animals such as mandrills from penetrating. At the same time, it can also prevent animals’ heads or legs from getting stuck in the mesh, ensuring the safety of the animals’ activities.
Weaving process: The mandrill fence nets are produced using the cross-weaving process. The cross-weaving process makes the mesh nodes more stable and less likely to loosen or come loose. This process further enhances the tensile strength and wear resistance of the nodes.
Customized Adaptation Capability
The mandrill enclosure area of the wildlife park usually has complex terrain with numerous height differences. Traditional protective netting products are difficult to fully fit the terrain and are prone to protective loopholes. Model #3251 Stainless steel rope netting, with its excellent customization adaptability, has perfectly solved this problem.
On-site cutting and splicing: The rope netting is produced by continuous weaving technology. Its length can be customized according to actual needs and supports on-site cutting. During the construction process, workers can precisely cut the rope netting according to the actual terrain of the mountain enclosure and then splice it using special stainless steel ferrules. The tensile strength of the splicing points can reach over 90% of the original net, ensuring the continuity and sealing of the protection.
Flexible fitting design: The stainless steel rope netting itself has some flexibility and can naturally fit the terrain’s undulations. At the same time, the flexible structure of the rope netting can also buffer the impact force of wild animals and reduce harm to their bodies.
Multi-specification compatible fitting: For the protection needs of different areas in the wildlife park, Model #3251 can provide multi-specification combination solutions. This solution not only meets the protection needs of different scenarios but also optimizes the cost configuration.
The Core Advantages of the Mandrill Fence Nets
In the protection system of the wildlife park, the protection of the mandrill area is of paramount importance and also a challenging aspect. This area needs to ensure the safety of tourists’ visits while also safeguarding the survival rights of the animals. At the same time, it must adapt to the complex climatic conditions in the wild and possess long-term durability. Model #3251, with its core advantages of “safety, ecology, and durability” combined, has become the ideal choice for animal protection.
Extremely High Level of Security
Safety is the core requirement for the protection of wildlife parks. The #3251 mandrill fence nets have constructed a comprehensive safety protection system from two dimensions:
For visitors’ protection: For large wild animals such as lions and tigers that are aggressive, the high-strength material and solid structure of the rope net can effectively prevent them from colliding, biting, and climbing. The flexible structure of the rope net can buffer most of the impact force through deformation, and its overall breaking strength is sufficient to withstand this impact force, avoiding damage to the net body that would allow the animals to escape.
For the protection of animals: Different from traditional concrete walls and iron fences, the stainless steel rope net adopts a flexible design. When animals collide with the net, the rope net will undergo a certain degree of deformation, buffering the impact force, and avoiding hard injuries to the animals’ bones and muscles. At the same time, the surface of the rope net has no sharp edges and will not scratch the animals’ skin. The mesh specifications have been scientifically designed, so that animals’ limbs will not get stuck.
Eco-friendliness
The core value of the wildlife park lies in providing visitors with an experience of “getting close to nature and observing wild animals”, while protecting the habitats and ecological environment of the wild animals. Model #3251 rope mesh was designed with ecological compatibility in mind from the very beginning. Its ecological friendliness mainly manifests in the following three aspects:
Strong landscape transparency: The mesh density of the stainless steel mandrill fence nets are moderate, and it will not block the view. During the tour, visitors can clearly observe the wild animals and natural landscapes in the mandrill area through the wire net, greatly enhancing the tour experience.
Does not affect animal activities: Traditional concrete fences or iron railings will divide the animals’ habitats into separate “cages”, restricting the range of movement and migration routes of the animals, and affecting their normal physiological and behavioral habits. The stainless steel rope net adopts a flexible isolation method, which will not impose hard restrictions on the range of animal activities. Animals can freely move within the wire net protection area. At the same time, the wire net has strong ventilation and will not affect the air circulation and temperature regulation in the area, maintaining the stability of the ecological microenvironment of the habitat.
Environmental protection and sustainability: 304/316L stainless steel material belongs to recyclable resources and can be recycled and reused, without causing pollution to the environment. In addition, the wire net does not need to be frequently replaced, reducing resource consumption and waste generation, achieving the goals of environmental protection and sustainable development.
Maintain Convenience
The mandrill enclosure areas in wildlife parks are often located in remote locations and have complex environments, making the maintenance of protective facilities difficult and costly. Stainless steel wire mesh, with its excellent durability and convenient maintenance features, significantly reduces the operating costs of the park:
Extremely long service life: The 316L stainless steel material has excellent corrosion resistance, aging resistance, and UV resistance, and can last for over 20 years in the wild environment. At the same time, the weaving process of the wire mesh is firm, the nodes are not prone to loosening, the wire diameter is not prone to wear, and it can maintain stable protective performance for a long time without frequent replacement.
Low maintenance cost: The wire mesh requires almost no special maintenance during use, and only regular inspections are needed. Check the firmness of the nodes, whether there are any damages or loosening, and whether the fixing bolts are tight. If there is a local damage, it can be directly cut and replaced without removing the entire enclosure.
Adaptability to complex environments: The stainless steel mandrill fence nets can adapt to various complex wild environments. It can still maintain stable protective performance in harsh environments.
