Ferrule Cable Mesh for Orangutan Enclosure — A Perfect Blend of Safety and Visibility
When it comes to designing zoo enclosures, especially for large and intelligent primates like orangutans, safety and visibility are two critical considerations. Traditional fencing methods often fail to meet modern expectations of safety, aesthetics, and animal welfare. That’s where ferrule cable mesh for orangutan enclosures comes in — an innovative solution that combines strength, flexibility, and unobstructed views.
In this project case, we share how one of our valued customers used our high-quality ferrule cable mesh to build a stunning and secure orangutan exhibit. The result? A remarkable space that ensures safety for the animals while offering a spectacular viewing experience for zoo visitors.
Orangutan Enclosure Project Background
Our client, a zoo construction contractor in North America, reached out to us looking for a modern solution for an orangutan enclosure. The zoo was undergoing a major renovation, and the management wanted to upgrade the primate section with enclosures that meet international standards for safety, animal enrichment, and visitor engagement.
After comparing various options, the team decided to use ferrule cable mesh for the orangutan enclosure fencing — and they chose our factory as the trusted supplier. With years of experience in manufacturing stainless steel ferrule mesh for zoo applications, we were well-equipped to support their needs from design to delivery.
Why Ferrule Cable Mesh for Orangutan Enclosures?
Orangutans are incredibly strong, curious, and intelligent animals. Their enclosures must be secure enough to contain them safely, yet flexible enough to prevent injury. Cable ferrule mesh offers several unique benefits that make it ideal for orangutan exhibits:
High Strength and Durability
Our ferrule cable mesh is made from marine-grade stainless steel (SS316). It offers exceptional tensile strength and weather resistance, making it suitable for both indoor and outdoor enclosures. The mesh can withstand the pulling force of adult orangutans, which is critical for long-term security.
Flexibility and Safety
The flexible structure of the mesh helps reduce the risk of injury to animals. Unlike rigid fencing, stainless steel cable mesh bends and absorbs impact without breaking. This ensures that even in case of sudden contact, the orangutans remain safe.
Unobstructed Viewing
One of the biggest advantages of ferrule cable mesh for orangutan enclosures is its transparency. The fine, lightweight cables create a “barely-there” appearance, allowing visitors to enjoy a clear, immersive view of the orangutans. It brings people closer to the animals — without compromising safety.
Customization and Easy Installation
We customized the mesh panel sizes based on the customer’s design drawings. Each panel was cut to exact dimensions and labeled for easy installation. Our team also provided technical support to ensure a smooth on-site setup.

Installation Process
The ferrule cable mesh was installed around the perimeter of the orangutan enclosure using stainless steel frame structures and supporting cables. The flexible mesh was tensioned carefully to achieve both security and aesthetics.
The installation team reported that the mesh was easy to handle, lightweight, and required minimal tools. The pre-fabricated panels saved time and labor during the build. The result was a seamless integration with the enclosure’s naturalistic design — a perfect balance between protection and appearance.
Results and Feedback
After the enclosure was completed, the zoo opened the exhibit to the public. The feedback from both the staff and visitors was overwhelmingly positive.
✅ For Visitors:
“The new orangutan exhibit is incredible. You feel like there’s nothing between you and the animals. You can see their expressions, movements, and interactions so clearly.” — Visitor comment
✅ For Zoo Staff:
“We love the new mesh design. It’s secure and easy to clean. More importantly, the orangutans seem to enjoy the open space and visibility.” — Zoo staff feedback
✅ For Animals:
The orangutans quickly adapted to their new home. The vertical climbing space and open-air design encouraged natural behaviors such as swinging, climbing, and resting in elevated spots. The mesh allowed keepers to safely interact and monitor the animals from a distance.
