It is used in the UK, Europe, the Middle East, and worldwide for animal enclosures, including farms, zoos, and other wildlife enclosures.<\/p>\n<h3>An elephant never forgets.<\/h3>\n<p>A good contractor remembers that he needs to build a rapport and understanding with the zoo\u2019s staff if he provides <a data-wpil=\"url\" href=\"https:\/\/www.zaun.co.uk\/products\/perimeter-fencing\/\">perimeter fencing<\/a> or a safety cage for a six-ton elephant! The zoo will have its own criteria relating to just how hefty any framework and <a data-wpil=\"url\" data-wpil=\"url\" href=\"https:\/\/www.zaun.co.uk\/our-products\/\">welded mesh fencing<\/a> needs to be and just how far apart any gaps should be to avoid the elephant pushing his trunk through. Elephants are perfectly capable of playing with fixtures and locks on zoo fencing and damaging or releasing them!<\/p>\n<h3>Don\u2019t monkey about!<\/h3>\n<p>By contrast, a primate requires a totally different approach. Are we dealing with a little pygmy marmoset? Or is it a weighty silver-backed gorilla? Some small monkeys require high <a href=\"https:\/\/www.zaun.co.uk\/blog\/guide-power-fence-toppings\/\" title=\"A guide to the power of fencing toppings\">fences topped<\/a> with an overhang of electric wires to stay safe. On the other hand, Gorillas are often housed in a huge wire <a data-wpil=\"url\" data-wpil=\"url\" href=\"https:\/\/www.zaun.co.uk\/our-products\/\">mesh cage<\/a> with railings that need to be strong, durable, and reach the height of a two-story house.<\/p>\n<h3>Down on the farm<\/h3>\n<p>Whether <a data-wpil=\"url\" href=\"https:\/\/www.zaun.co.uk\/high-security-fencing\/\">security fencing<\/a> is needed for farms or zoos, it always pays to listen to the animal\u2019s and the client\u2019s top priorities. For instance, herds of deer can pressure <a data-wpil=\"url\" href=\"https:\/\/www.zaun.co.uk\/products\/perimeter-fencing\/\">fencing<\/a>, especially if they are driven across particular pathways. This may call for a slightly stronger <a data-wpil=\"url\" href=\"https:\/\/www.zaun.co.uk\/products\/perimeter-fencing\/\">fence<\/a> with a smaller gap between vertical posts or wires to stay secure. Likewise, horses are determined in their drive to get to green grass, and any <a data-wpil=\"url\" href=\"https:\/\/www.zaun.co.uk\/products\/perimeter-fencing\/\">fence<\/a> needs to be constructed so that they cannot catch a hoof in it, trample or get tangled up in it.<\/p>\n<h3>Life and death<\/h3>\n<p>When working with live animals and their owners and keepers, \u2018fencing\u2019 is never just a job. Of course, it still requires expertise and skill in production and <a class=\"wpil_keyword_link \" href=\"https:\/\/www.zaun.co.uk\/construction-site-fencing\/\"  title=\"construction\" data-wpil-keyword-link=\"linked\">construction<\/a>, but it is so much more than that.
