ClearMesh is such a niche product that selecting the right mesh for your needs can be difficult. There are three different products available which are suitable for housing different species and keeping out certain pests and predators. Our suggestions are based on previous customers’ experiences, including backyard aviaries and zoo exhibits. ClearMesh is most often used for bird aviaries, however it can also be used for other species.



Each ClearMesh product is named after the wire diameter that is used to make it, and all of our products have approximately the same aperture of 4mm x 5mm.

ClearMesh25

ClearMesh25 is made using a 0.25mm wire, and is suitable for smaller species:

·     Small birds such as finches and canaries

·     Small reptiles such as tortoises

·     Any small species that would not attack the mesh barrier

This mesh, along with the others, is also capable of keeping out insects due to the small aperture but isn’t ideal for keeping out bigger pests.

ClearMesh35

ClearMesh35 is made using a 0.35mm wire, and is suitable for most small to medium sized species:

·     Small to medium sized birds such as parrots

·     Small to medium reptiles that will not attack the mesh barrier

·     Small to medium mammals such as house cats

·     Small to medium primates

This product has also been tested against the Cape Dune Mole Rat in South Africa and was found to be an effective method of pest control, making this product ideal if you’re looking to keep out cats or rodents.

ClearMeshHT

ClearMeshHT is made using two 0.25mm wires, one of which is a high tensile wire (hence the name HT). This product is our highest grade and is suitable for:

·     Birds of prey

·     Medium sized reptiles

·     Some medium – large mammals (depending on how they interact with the mesh barrier)

HT is best suited for keeping out small to medium sized predators such as cats, dogs or foxes, although this product has not yet been properly tested.
