Livestock Fence - Hook Net

Animal hook net guardrail is a common protective facility used for captive animals. The following is a detailed introduction about it:

characteristic

Good flexibility: Hook net is woven from high-quality steel wire through special processes, with good flexibility. This enables the guardrail to adapt to changes in different terrains, whether on flat ground or undulating mountains, it can be installed and function well. For animals with a large range of activities that may collide or squeeze the guardrail, such as cows, horses, etc., flexible hooked mesh guardrails can cushion external forces through their own deformation, reducing damage caused by animal impact.

Strong protection: The mesh of the hook net is uniform and small, which can effectively prevent animals from drilling out or squeezing out of the mesh. At the same time, it has high strength and can withstand a certain degree of external pulling and impact. Even in the case of animals forcefully bumping or climbing, it is not easily damaged, providing a reliable protective barrier for animals and ensuring that they are restricted to specific areas of activity.

Good permeability: The structure of the hook net is relatively loose and has good permeability. This is beneficial for air circulation and light exposure, allowing animals to breathe fresh air and enjoy sufficient sunlight in the enclosure, which is conducive to the healthy growth of animals. In addition, good transparency also facilitates the observation of animal activities by caregivers and timely detection of abnormal behavior or health problems in animals.

Beautiful and durable: The hook net guardrail has a neat and beautiful appearance, smooth lines, and is usually green or black in color. It is in harmony with the natural environment and will not cause damage to the overall landscape of the breeding site. Moreover, the hook mesh has undergone anti-corrosion treatment such as galvanizing or plastic immersion, which has strong corrosion resistance and oxidation resistance. It can be used in outdoor environments for a long time, is not easy to rust and fade, and reduces the cost of replacement and maintenance.

Specification parameters

Wire diameter: The wire diameter of hooked mesh commonly used for animal guardrails is between 2.0-4.0mm. The choice of silk diameter mainly depends on the size and strength of the captive animals. For small animals such as chickens, ducks, geese, etc., the silk diameter can be selected as 2.0-2.5mm; For medium-sized animals such as sheep, pigs, etc., the silk diameter is generally between 2.5-3.0mm; For large animals such as cows and horses, a wire diameter of 3.0-4.0mm needs to be selected to ensure the strength and stability of the enclosure.

Mesh size: The mesh size is usually between 50mm x 50mm -150mm x 150mm. Small animals are suitable for using hook nets with smaller mesh sizes, such as 50mm x 50mm or 60mm x 60mm mesh, which can effectively prevent them from drilling out; Medium sized animals can use mesh holes ranging from 80mm × 80mm to 100mm × 100mm; Large animals can use mesh holes of 100mm × 100mm -150mm × 150mm, but if the animals are more lively and active, the mesh size can be appropriately reduced to increase safety.

Height: The height of the guardrail varies depending on the animal species and breeding needs. The height of the hook net guardrail used for captive poultry is generally 0.8-1.2m; The height of guardrails for livestock such as sheep and pigs is usually 1.2-1.5m; For large animals such as cows and horses, the height of guardrails is generally between 1.5-2.0m. If it is in places such as zoos, in order to ensure the safety of tourists and animals, the height of the hook net guardrail used for captive breeding of wild animals may be higher, reaching 2.0-3.0m.

Length: The length of the hook net can be customized according to actual installation needs. Common lengths include 20m, 30m, 50m, etc. In practical use, a suitable length of hook net can be selected for splicing and installation according to the circumference of the breeding site or the size of the area that needs to be divided.

Installation and maintenance

Installation: When installing animal hook net guardrails, the first step is to determine the installation position of the guardrail and clean up the debris and obstacles around the site. Then, according to the shape and size of the site, unfold and fix the hook net on the pre-set columns. The spacing between columns is generally between 2-3m, and the specific spacing can be adjusted according to the specifications of the hook net and the characteristics of the captive animals. When fixing the hooked mesh, special clips or wires can be used to tightly connect the mesh to the column to ensure that the mesh does not shake or loosen. In some special terrains, such as slopes or bends, it is necessary to cut and adjust the hook net appropriately according to the actual situation to ensure the overall beauty and protective effect of the guardrail.

Maintenance: Regularly inspect the overall condition of the hook and loop fence, check if the mesh is damaged, deformed, or loose, and if the pillars are tilted or corroded. If any damage is found on the mesh, it should be repaired or replaced with mesh of the same specification in a timely manner; For loose parts, they need to be re fixed; If the column corrodes, anti-corrosion treatment or replacement of the column should be carried out in a timely manner. At the same time, it is necessary to keep the environment around the guardrail clean, avoid the accumulation of debris from damaging the guardrail, and extend the service life of the hooked mesh guardrail.
