Ungulate-Proof Fences
Ungulate-proof fences in Hawaii are designed to protect native ecosystems and endangered species from the damaging effects of feral ungulates (hooved animals like pigs, goats, and deer). These fences are specially designed to prevent animals from climbing, jumping over, and digging under the fence. They are vital for preserving native plant and animal species, preventing erosion, protecting watersheds, and allowing for the recovery of native habitats. They are a key component of conservation efforts in Hawaii, particularly in areas where native species are vulnerable.
Predator Proof Fences
Predator-proof fences are built in Hawaii to provide safe nesting habitats for native and endangered birds from invasive species like cats, mongooses, rats, mice, etc. They are designed with special features like a rolled hood which is a curved section at the top of the fence to keep predators from climbing over. They are constructed with a fine wire mesh fabric made out of marine-grade stainless steel to prevent deterioration. In addition, a mesh skirt is added around the base of the fence enclosure to prevent digging and burrowing.
