Durable, lightweight plastic netting for aviaries, cages, and enclosures for pets and farmyard animals

TENAX CINTOFLEX is a plastic fencing mesh designed for building aviaries, cages, and enclosures for pets, poultry, and farmyard animals.

It is made of 100% polypropylene using a special process that molecularly orients the fibers in both directions of the mesh. This technology gives the netting high tensile strength and tear resistance, while keeping it lightweight and easy to handle.

The netting is UV-stabilized to withstand prolonged exposure to the sun and the elements. It does not require painting or any special maintenance treatments.

CINTOFLEX is available in three versions, each featuring mesh openings of different sizes. This allows you to choose the solution best suited to the size of the animals and the type of structure you wish to build: from aviaries for small birds to enclosures for pets and farmyard animals.

  • CINTOFLEX D: 22 × 35 mm
  • CINTOFLEX M: 18 × 25 mm
  • CINTOFLEX E: 13 × 15 mm

Manufactured in Italy according to TENAX quality standards, it offers a practical and versatile solution for household, agricultural, and professional applications.

  • High strength: The process of molecular orientation in both directions improves the fabric's tensile and tear strength.
  • Three mesh sizes are available: the E, M, and D versions allow you to choose the mesh size best suited to the animals and the application.
  • Easy to handle: Its light weight makes it easy to transport, unroll, and position along the support structure.
  • Suitable for outdoor use: UV stabilization increases the mesh's resistance to prolonged exposure to the sun and the elements.
  • Low maintenance: The mesh does not require periodic painting or protective treatments.
  • Versatile: It can be used for aviaries, cages, small enclosures, agricultural fencing, and areas designated for animals.
Installation 1

1. Outline the area to be fenced

Place the stakes at the corners of the perimeter. Then place the outer stakes on the imaginary line of the perimeter about 40 cm from the corner point; stretch a guide wire (lignola). The outer stakes serve to keep the position of the corner stake visible even after it has been removed.

Installation 2

2. Mark the position of the posts

Remove the corner stakes and mark with chalk the points where the EXTRA T POST poles and EXTRA ARROW lightning rods will be positioned.

Installation 3

3. Installation of metal poles

Place the posts along the perimeter about 2 meters apart. The posts can be placed in concrete or directly in the ground.

3a. Setting the posts in concrete

Dig holes in the ground, using a shovel or machinery such as augers or mini excavators, to a depth of approximately 20-30 cm and a width of 20-30 cm; pour cement into the hole and position the posts until they touch the bottom, checking that they are perfectly perpendicular to the ground and aligned with the previously stretched string. Wait for the cement to dry completely before installing the fence, so as not to misalign the posts when installing the mesh.

3b. Driving the posts into the ground

Drill holes in the ground to a depth of approximately 50 cm, insert the posts, cover with excavated soil, and compact.

Installation 6

4. Laying plastic-coated metal wires

Strengthen the fence by pulling the Tenax EXTRA WIRE plastic-coated metal wire through the holes in each post and securing them to the corresponding Tenax TENDIFILO wire tensioners. Leave the central wire free to move so that it can be aligned with the mesh of the net during fastening. Position the wire tensioners between the two posts and at each wire position. Pass each wire through the appropriate gear on the wire tensioner. Using pliers or a wrench, tighten the plastic-coated wires.

5. Laying the mesh

Unroll the net along the positioned poles; initially unroll the entire net and temporarily secure it to the poles.

Installation 8

6. Securing the net

Secure the mesh to the wires and posts using Tenax EXTRA WIRE plastic-coated metal wire or special FIX-TIE plastic ties. Pull and finish installing the net, checking the alignment of the posts and the tension of the wires.
