When constructing their displays and fencing their walkways, zoos frequently use welded wire meshes that have been vinyl coated. There are several reasons this type of material is chosen. Vinyl coated products are:

      • easy to clean and maintain
      • available in a variety of mesh sizes - from 1/4"x1/4" to 4"x4"
      • available in different gauges - from light weight 23 gauge to heavy 10.5 gauge
      • attractive and aesthetically pleasing
      • very durable and long lasting 
      • strong and safe protection for birds and other animals
