Stainless steel cables and cable mesh are the ideal products for creating safe, transparent, species appropriate habitats. Our enclosures are strong, durable and even allow you to integrate existing trees and landscape into the structure. We can work with you during the design process and if necessary, provide calculations and technical drawings.
Zoo Enclosures
Gibbons
The new Gibbon House was completed in 2020. Inspired by an orchard, the Gibbon House blends in perfectly with the natural environment of the gibbons. A corridor, or sky bridge, was added to allow the gibbons to move easily between the house and Gibbon Island. The corridor was created with stainless steel cable mesh from Carl Stahl.
Africa Rocks Exhibit at San Diego Zoo
The Africa Rocks exhibit at the San Diego Zoo features an outdoor area with a mesh surface of about 6,500 square meters supported by nine steel pylons. A barely perceptible, filigree stainless steel cable mesh construction is the only separation between humans and animals. To create appropriate habitats for the various animals, exact planning, statical analysis, and on-site assembly were required.
