Outdoor mesh:
Secure. Invisible. Indestructible.
Whether it’s an impressive predator enclosure at a zoo, a large aviary in a wildlife park, or a custom-built enclosure for a private garden – securing animals places the highest demands on the materials used: they must withstand extreme tension and bites, resist wind, rain, and UV radiation over the long term, while still allowing visitors an unobstructed view of the animals.
The Outdoor mesh from Rhodius KMS, the global market leader in knitted wire mesh, has been developed precisely for these requirements. As a knitted stainless steel wire mesh, it combines maximum robustness with near-complete visual transparency – for decades without corrosion damage or maintenance.
Five properties that make the difference
- Light, sun & rain – 100% permeable
Natural microclimate in the enclosure, species-appropriate housing ensured - High resistance to biting & scratching
Safety for animals and humans – even with strong animals - 100% corrosion-resistant (stainless steel)
No rust formation, no replacement – even in humid environments - Sustainable: reusable & recyclable
Long-term investment with a low ecological footprint - Flexible & modularly expandable
Adaptable to any enclosure size, shape, and requirement
Who benefits from Outdoor mesh?
The versatility of knitted wire mesh makes it the preferred choice for a wide range of target groups:
Zoos & wildlife parks
Large-scale enclosures for predators, primates, and exotic animals – high durability and tested safety
Aviary builders & bird parks
Fine-mesh designs for sensitive bird species, maximum air permeability
Municipalities & public institutions
Robust enclosures for wildlife reserves, paddock areas, and city parks
Agriculture & plantations
Protection against wildlife browsing, bird protection for fruit and vineyard crops
Private individuals
Prevention of illegal drone deliveries (drugs, weapons, communication devices) into outdoor yards
Research institutions & nature conservation projects
Protection of sensitive systems from physical damage caused by drone crashes or targeted attacks
Technical specifications at a glance
Outdoor mesh is produced exclusively to measure and according to customer specifications. Individual requirements for mesh size, wire diameter, and format are implemented with precision:
| Material | Stainless steel wire (rustproof) · wire diameter 0.15 – 0.50 mm · optional colored combination material (e.g. camouflage colors) |
| Roll width | 100 mm – 3,000 mm (customized) |
| Roll length | 5 m – 50 m per roll |
| Surface | Plain · chemically blackened (enhanced transparency) · paintable with animal-safe coatings |
| Connection | Width extension via clamp rings/plastic rope · welded ends · hog rings · seam connection |
Installation: Simple & professional
Outdoor mesh is produced exclusively to measure and according to customer specifications.
Individual requirements for mesh size, wire diameter, and format are implemented with precision:
Attachment to wooden structures
Recommended: Clamp the mesh edges between two wooden slats – maximum stability and edge protection
Alternative: Staples/staple gun – fold or overlap the mesh edge, place staples a few meshes in from the edge
Attachment to metal structures
& extension
- Plastic or stainless steel cable ties for quick installation
- Width extension: Clamp rings with plastic or wire rope
- Surface connection: Welded ends for maximum tensile strength
- Additional: Hog rings and stainless steel wire for permanent connections
Pro tip:
Tension & visibility
Always keep the mesh tightly tensioned – this prevents sagging under snow loads or when animals climb on it. For maximum transparency (e.g. in zoo viewing enclosures), we recommend chemically blackened mesh: it becomes virtually invisible to the viewer. After installation, the mesh can be coated in a single step using animal-safe paint.

Frequently asked questions about Outdoor mesh (FAQ)
The knitted stainless steel mesh is suitable for a wide range of animal species – from small animals and birds (aviaries, fine mesh 0.15–0.25 mm) to medium-sized and large animals such as primates, felines, or ungulates (robust designs, 0.35–0.50 mm wire diameter). Our engineers provide individual consultation for specific requirements.
Thanks to the use of high-quality stainless steel wire, Outdoor mesh is virtually unlimited in durability. Stainless steel is resistant to rust, UV radiation, saltwater, and chemical cleaning agents – ideal for long-term outdoor use without replacement.
Yes – one of the key design features of Outdoor mesh is its modularity. Existing mesh sections can be seamlessly extended at any time with new elements using clamp rings, hog rings, or welded connections.
Outdoor mesh is manufactured individually according to customer requirements. Standard delivery includes roll widths of 100–3,000 mm and roll lengths of 5–50 m. Laser-cut custom shapes up to 2 m × 2 m, prefabricated panels, and pre-welded sheets are available on request.
