Stainless Steel Tunnel Channel Mesh
Stainless steel tunnel channel mesh is a device that consists of stainless steel wire mesh hand spliced into a round tunnel shape.
Stainless steel tunnel mesh is a professional flexible safety barrier specially developed for zoo animal transfer tunnels, wildlife connecting passages and enclosed animal corridors. Woven from high-quality SS304 or SS316 stainless steel wire rope, this animal tunnel net integrates high tensile strength, excellent corrosion resistance and animal-safe performance, becoming the preferred enclosure solution for modern zoo renovation and wildlife protection projects.
Unlike rigid traditional fences, our stainless steel tunnel mesh features a smooth burr-free woven structure. It will not scratch animal fur, skin or feathers during long-term animal passing and frequent activity. The flexible cable structure can adapt to curved, arched, winding and irregular tunnel shapes, perfectly fitting customized tunnel designs.
With outstanding weather and moisture resistance, the mesh remains stable in dark, humid, shaded and coastal environments. It effectively resists rust, corrosion and animal impact, providing long-lasting safety protection. The high-transparency and ventilated mesh design ensures smooth air circulation inside the tunnel and allows keepers to clearly observe animal conditions in real time. Fully customizable mesh aperture, size and shape makes it suitable for all kinds of birds, primates and other wildlife species.
Classification
Stainless steel cable mesh divided into two categories according to different colors, Natural color stainless steel cable mesh and Black stainless steel cable mesh
The stainless steel woven rope mesh is twisted and interwoven by the stainless steel wire rope to form a knot and linked together. This minimalist style of craftsmanship is the most dazzling product in stainless steel wire rope products. While providing the same intensity, the visual obstacles are greatly reduced, and it is easier to vanish. Without troublesome light reflection, viewing at a certain distance is almost completely invisible.
Stainless steel tunnel mesh have many advantages for animal sites:
Flexibility and Easy Installation
Stainless steel tunnel mesh is highly flexible, smooth, and elastic, making it ideal for creating suspended animal pathways. It can be installed between trees, steel structures, or other zoo facilities to form secure and engaging tunnel systems. We can also provide professional installation accessories and guidance to ensure a smooth and efficient installation process.
Exceptional Strength and Durability
Hand-woven from high-quality stainless steel wire rope in a robust X-pattern structure, the tunnel mesh offers outstanding impact resistance and tensile strength. It is highly resistant to UV exposure, corrosion, and harsh weather conditions, ensuring long-term performance without rusting. Its durable construction makes it extremely difficult to damage, even in demanding environments.
Enhanced Visitor Experience and Animal Enrichment
The elegant and transparent appearance of stainless steel tunnel mesh minimizes visual obstruction, allowing visitors to observe animals from multiple angles and enjoy a more immersive viewing experience. At the same time, elevated tunnel systems expand the animals’ activity space, encouraging natural behaviors, greater freedom of movement, and environmental enrichment.
Safe and Lightweight
As a modern enclosure solution, stainless steel tunnel mesh meets the safety requirements of both common and large animal habitats. The tough wire rope structure is designed to withstand scratching, climbing, and biting by animals. Despite its high strength, the mesh remains lightweight, environmentally friendly, and free from harmful chemicals, ensuring a safe habitat for animals and a reliable containment system for zoos and wildlife parks.
Application Cases
The stainless steel tunnel channel mesh widely used as zoo animal tunnel mesh, monkey tunnel channel mesh, lion tunnel channel mesh, tiger tunnel channel mesh, squirrel tunnel channel mesh, orangutan tunnel channel mesh…
Stainless steel tunnel channel mesh details
Stainless steel tunnel channel mesh material selection:
The stainless steel tunnel mesh is hand-woven from stainless steel wires. The material of the steel wires is 304 or 316 stainless steel. Its main features are strong corrosion resistance, low susceptibility to rust, high tensile strength, not prone to breakage, smooth surface, and not likely to damage animal fur.
The 304 stainless steel tunnel mesh has already met the needs of most areas. Since 316 stainless steel contains molybdenum, its corrosion resistance is stronger than that of 304 stainless steel. Therefore, in some more humid environments, such as coasts, coastal areas, rainforests, etc., 316 stainless steel is a more suitable choice.
Stainless steel tunnel channel mesh specification selection:
In general, the mesh opening size is determined by the size of the animal, while the wire rope diameter is selected according to the animal’s strength and activity level. The appropriate specifications should be chosen based on the specific animal species and project requirements. Selecting the right mesh configuration not only ensures safety and durability but also helps optimize material usage and effectively reduce overall project costs.
Commonly used stainless steel tunnel channel mesh rope diameter and wire rope structure:
Small animals: 1/16″(1.6mm)
Medium-sized animals: 5/64″( 2.0mm)
Large animals: 3/32″(2.4mm), 1/8″(3.2mm)
Rope structure: 7*7 structure
(i.e. one rope is twisted from 7 strands of fine steel wire rope, and each strand of fine steel wire rope is twisted from 7 steel wires)
Commonly used stainless steel tunnel channel mesh and panel size:
Small animals: 38 x 38mm (1.5″×1.5“)
Medium-sized animals: 51 x 51mm(2″× 2“)
Large animals: 60 x 60mm(2.4″×2.4“), 76 x 76mm(3″× 3″)
Panel size (L×H): customized
