American Steel Builders Zoo division's goal is to provide our customers with state of the art animal enclosure systems. We hope that the following description of our zoo products will assist you in your future exhibit plans.
ZOO PRODUCTS PROVIDED
- CABLE NETTING - This product consists of stainless steel cables which are crimped together at a predetermined interval to create a mesh product which has diamond-shaped openings when the mesh is stretched properly. We offer you the option of installing this material yourself or having one of our experienced crews do the installation work for you. In the past, this material has been used to enclose cats and various sizes of primates.
- ZOO MESH - This product is a woven wire mesh which utilizes a small diameter stainless steel wire as the "thread" in the "fabric". It is knitted to a loose density of 30 holes per square inch. It has mainly been used in the past as a barrier for aviaries, but has also been used as a barrier for a reptile exhibit.
- PIANO WIRE - This product consists of various diameters and spacing of stainless steel wire, depending on the exhibit, which is connected to an angle at the base of the exhibit front. The wire is then attached to a spring at the top of the exhibit front. The spring is tensioned to tighten the wires to a uniform tension throughout the exhibit. Due to the high loads which develop on the angles supporting the wires, we recommend that the piano wire material be installed by our crews.
AQUARIUM PRODUCTS PROVIDED
- PORTABLE GATE DAMS - This product consists of aluminum gate sections which are dropped into a reglet/channel in aquarium pool systems. The gate sections are connected together through a series of latches and seals to create a solid bulkhead which will allow water to be pumped from either side of the gate dam. This function allows the pool to remain open while medical checks or pool maintenance is being done, maintaining temperature differential or differences between pools or tanks. Each gate dam is custom designed to fit the owner's specific requirements. Engineering details are offered prior to construction of reglets to minimize overall costs and maximize water integrity.
- STRAINER BASKETS - These products consist of 316/316L stainless steel material, which are designed to withstand adverse conditions that are involved with salt water filtration systems. A wide range of sizes are available for 2" to 12" diameter baskets.
- SAMPLES - Samples of materials are available upon request.
