Begum's artworks and installations take inspiration from the geometric patterns associated with Islamic art and architecture – "I grew up reading the Quran and praying five times a day, so that repetitiveness is instilled in me," she explains – and from contemporary cityscapes: "the clashes of colours, forms, and the way the light changes things."

Leylandii, husky escape-artist re-homed from Battersea, lots of rolls of 7ft weld mesh, more 3 metre 4 x 4 posts than you could wave a stick at, (posts were pressure-treated timber but bottom 3ft creosoted for good measure), between one and two bags of Postfix™ per post, ground-line for each 12.5 metre run levelled very carefully (to avoid problems!), weld mesh securely clamped to first post and unrolled along scaffold boards using bungees round posts temporarily, only stapled to posts when happy with line. Decorative Bamboo rolls resting on 2 x 2 and fixed to 2 x 1 battens cable-tied to weld mesh and screwed to posts where possible.

A selection of images from an animal welfare centre project using animal panels in both 2inch x 1 inch and 1 inch x 1/2 inch mesh. The centre was divided into internal and external runs. Hatches for each cage were fabricated into the shell of the buiding to keep the animals seperate. Half solid sheet panels were used to divide areas to avoid confrontation. Some of the runs are extended using a 1.2m panel on top of a 2.4m panel to make them 3.6m high.

WildSide Exotic Rescue is a sanctuary for wild captive animals traded and kept as pets, that rescues and rehabilitates those in need and inspires humans to end the wild pet trade.

WildSide has been ordering panels from Fine Mesh Metals, on a very regular basis, over many years. New rescues can arrive here with little notice, so these panels are great at enabling us to erect new enclosures in days rather than weeks. We have settled into a pattern of using these panels, combined with railway sleepers, which ensures the enclosures have longevity and look rustic and appealing too. We have Monkeys, Racoon, Coati, Owls, Lions, Serval, Lynx and many more safely contained in large enclosures using these panels. For small enclosures we use the panels for the roof as well but for our massive enclosures we use steel threaded netting.

Edwards Conure aviary. Hand crafted backing panels using Concrete and Timber.

A very good example of a customised cat run. The customer has designed and used mesh rolls rather than framed panels for their roof, as it allows angled shapes.

2 very lucky Bengal Cats, Milo and Lalya have had a beautifully designed cat run built for them by their owners. The run is connected to the house by a high tunnel. Within the cage there area multitude of bespoke features and play activities. They have access to fresh air and play at all times. One of the best designs we've seen, well done Terry.

The larger mesh is slightly cheaper and suitable for larger cats. Lindsey (the customer) has cleverly installed a perspex roof and black guttering to give the cats shelter. It looks like the cats love it. Great job Lindsey!

We Purchased a cat enclosure from you about 6 months ago, and have only just put it up last weekend. I wanted to write to you say how pleased I am with the product. At the time of searching for cat enclosure options, I considered making my own out of wood and mesh, but decided to go with the option of a proper enclosure from yourselves, and I am really glad I did. The reason I bought mine, was because I saw people’s case studies on your website. I have attached a few images; we are looking to add additional levels, and also a ‘house’ at the bottom. The cat flap itself comes in from half way up our stairs, on the landing, and comes out half way up the house.

So, you’re considering getting a dog run? That’s great! Dog runs are great additions to your home and offer a range of benefits to dog owners and their dogs.

For some people, the idea of a dog run looks small and unpleasant for dogs but you’ll be surprised. Besides dog runs can come in large sizes and give your furry friends plenty of space to roam, you’ll find dogs love dog runs and can benefit their lives.

Thought I would send you a photo of the cat enclosure now it is up!As you can see, we had varying heights both from the door then onto the grass plus the patio floods in the winter so we wanted it to be raised anyway so the sleepers were used.We are delighted with it - the girls are out in it happily now and they are safe which is the most important thing. We may add to it in the future but for now we are very happy with it. Thank you for your patience but as you can see - the levels and size needed to be right!!!!

In order to train our apple and pear trees we used fine metals post holders, 2.4m posts, wire and heavy duty clips. The trees our now trained enabling us to focus on fruit production rather than growth, creating a wall of fruit.

Hi I thought id send you some pics of how we used your cage to keep out the badgers and foxs etc.its now in full bloom.This was a complete renovation of the site ;Dr Tocks is now enjoying the fruits !!

Barry's play pen for his chirpy Blue fronted Amazon.

In August 2013 I was asked by my local Cats Protection League branch, if it would be possible for me to look after a cat with Aids. He would need to be kept separate from other cats until a home could be sourced for him; I agreed and he came to live in my outside secure dog pen which had an insulated house attached to it; I named him Jeffrey.

The’ cat rescue’ was unable to find him a home so I asked if I could adopt him. I did not believe that ‘an inside home’ for the rest of his life was suitable for an ex-stray cat used to having the freedom of the ‘outside world’!

Adrians Cat run onto conservatory.

This Blog shows how a rat proof chicken run 8ft x 12ft x 6ft high was built and how in an awkward situation the green multipost system was used to create a free ranging area.

This is an example of an intermediate cage for free ranging birds. As its for domectic laying birds a a 2 inch green mesh has been used. If the cage was to be permanent or for chicks a smaller mesh should be used. The chicken mesh cage offers the birds a safety area for feeding and drinking and an area where the birds can be left to range when the owners are away.

The cage is on a sloped area so a 6ft high roll of mesh has been used cut on an angle to 5ft. 5ft is the minimum height cage used to deter foxes. This has meant 6ft and 5ft posts have been used for an earth screw fencing system.

Please find attached a photo of the dog cage I built last year using your panels.

In this example a 3/4x3/4x16g mesh has been used which has been powder coated. As this enclosure is in a salt water environment it has tarnished. A better choice would have been a pvc coated mesh.

HiPlease find attached photo’s of the 10x6 aviary we recently purchased from you, it was bought to attach to conservatory to allow our two cats access to fresh air and  us to have doors open in summer without Cats being able to get away ,as they are not allowed out and were breed for indoorsWe are very pleased with how it has turned out and we hope you think the same.There is very little in life that is a New idea but we think this use is quiet novel

The Tawny owl was struck by a car in East Sussex in December 2012. He had a nasty blow to the head which caused serious trauma to the owl’s eyes.  The rehabilitation process has been a long one to ensure the bird’s eye sight in good enough for flying, hunting and catching food.  This owl will be released back to the wild once fit  and well.

I'm very impressed with the service provided by Fine Mesh Metals LTD. They provide a quick delivery, with a quality product. I ordered some chicken wire and a mesh to constructed a new chicken ark with a large run. I built the ark using treated timber with a fine mesh on the low sections, and constructed the surrounding fence using 50m rolls of chicken wire and a square mesh, fitting the stronger mesh on the lower section, I fold out approximately 6 inches at the bottom, to stop the local fox from digging under  it. It works well and keeps my hens safe.

An example of an incredible sculpture using chicken mesh.

Please find attached pictures of your weld mesh fencing system and gates in use at our kennels. Kind regards  Simon Tyers Hawcroft Gundogs

When I bought my owl, I didn't want just a run of the mill aviary like a lot of people have such as an old shed with a bit of chicken wire in place of the window.  I wanted an aviary that was a piece of the house, something to look at and admire and somewhere where my owl would be comfortable and safe. Most people have chain link on their aviaries and I nearly had the same too until I found the square mesh and I'm glad I did, it looks absolutely superb and I couldn't have found anything better.  It has the security of the chain link but much better aesthetics.  I get comments about the aviary as much as I get about the beauty of my owl.

I have recently graduated from Art school with a 1st class Hons. degree in Fine Art. I used two 6’x 3’ wire welded mesh sheets (un-galvanized) from your company in a piece of art work for my degree show and which I am now hoping to sell. My interest was in disease and I used the mesh which I had left to rust outside, to display copies of antique and vintage microscope slides. The mesh was perfect and I am now playing with idea’s as to how I could use it again. Barbara White

Fox Proof Boundary Fencing Fine Mesh Metals 30m light welded mesh rolls of netting provided the ideal solution for fox proof boundary fencing for a small wildfowl collection. 3ft x 1 inch x 12G wire netting was dug about 1ft into the ground with 4ft x 1 inch x … G wire netting on top overlapped by an inch and attached by a single wire with clip rings giving a total height of approximately 6ft.   A stabilising wire, also attached with clip rings, ran along the centre of the lighter gauge top wire netting. A single electric wire was attached along the top of the fence and another about 1ft from the ground. Heavy duty wooden fence posts were used on this wetland site, much of which is under water during the winter months. The different gauges and mesh sizes available from Fine Mesh Metals made the ideal suppliers for this strong fencing, at the required height, which keeps all but the smallest rodents out and the smallest ducklings in.    The large stock of light welded mesh rolls with size and thickness variations make Fine Mesh Metals the ideal fencing suppliers for the poultry, waterfowl and wildfowl industry. 

We are so glad we found you and thank you for our cat run. We are very impressed by your product and service.We needed a safe, secure area for our cats to run in but we also wanted to share their space too. With your help and knowledge we managed to enclose part of our garden and patio area (16’x12’x8') with only one central roof support. A cat flap gives our cats the independence to come and go as they wish within a safe, secure haven and at 8 feet high, we do not feel caged in. The panels and fixings are strong, robust and the run is certainly not going anywhere. Your product was so easy to use that we put it up in a weekend. Thank you again, Mrs Baggs, Headcorn, Kent.

I would like to say that Fine Mesh Metals were very helpful in assisting me with the panels i required to build my pen from a rough sketch i supplied. The assembly was very easy with a few basic tools and my cats love it, they cant wait to go out in the pen each day.

We would like to thank Fine Mesh Metals for sending us an aviary that is sturdy, easy for two people to assemble and looks as though it will last us many years. Your response to an enquiry was speedy and greatly appreciated.

I am a Senior Animal Technician at New College Stamford and I am always on the look out for bigger and better designs for animal enclosures to met the animals welfare needs.  I had an ideas what I wanted but didn't know how to get it.  I stumbled across Fine Mesh Metals on one of my searches and contacted them immediately.  By the end of the day they had responded, not only could they met my requirements they offered advice on the design.  It was a short delivery time and so easy to install. Both enclosures are robust enough to withstand the beaks of  parrots and the climbing ability of the ferrets, having different gauges of mesh prevents escapees!  The safety porch can be moved to various positions to accommodate our 'human' requirements.  The panels can be easily repositions to create a new floor layout  area or free standing enclosure to enrich the animals lives further.  The animals now use this part of their enclosures so much that we have decided to extend it further. Our Animal course is constantly expanding so having something that is easily movable saves on the cost of building a fixed enclosure giving us more variety and flexibility. Next animal to get a revamp on his enclosure .....The iguana and maybe some tunnels for the meerkats!  I will be using Fine Mesh Metals again for sure. 

This photo shows the construction of a welded mesh chicken compound, intended to be fox resistant. It uses a lengths of 4ft x 10g at the bottom, with 3ft x 12g joined in the middle with 'c' clips, to produce a 7ft high fence. At the bottom, lengths of 12g have been cut off the roll to make 18" aprons, clipped to the bottom of the fence, upon which rubble has been piled to prevent burrowing. The welded mesh is attached by staples to the wooden posts which are set into 60cm Metposts, making a stable, intruder resistant compound.

The photo is of a cage constructed to protect a beehive from attack by Green woodpeckers. This image has appeared in the Bee press and in some of my lectures and publications.
