Mobile amphibian and reptile protection fences
The Beilharz amphibian protection fence has been developed to maintain and strengthen nature’s ecological balance. Its design was kept simple and restrained on purpose to ensure the amphibian protection fence does not interfere with nature and is hardly to notice once it has been set up.
The amphibian protection fence is optionally available with air-permeable mesh or with a closed foil. The amphibian protection fence is easily and quickly built up in every terrain, either directly on a mesh or veterinary fence or on open field with a tensioning rope and metal posts.All types of materials and structures can be easily combined with one another.
Types of installation
Type |
Amphibian protection fence type A |
Amphibian protection fence type B |
|---|---|---|
Type of assembly |
On existing mesh fence |
Self-supporting in open fields |
Type of installation |
With chain links on existing mesh fence |
With hot-dip galvanised metal supports incl. depth stop, tensioning rope, pegs and chain links to hang the fence. Burying the lower end of the amphibian protection fence approx. 10 cm in the ground and not just pegging it down at short intervals has proven sensible because amphibians try to crawl under the fence with the latter solution. |
Climb-over protection |
- |
optionally available: Posts bent 45° at the top |
Options |
- |
Post spacing 2 m for a longer service life or windier locations |

Installation instructions - type A
- Dig an approx. 10 cm deep ditch
- Attach the fabric/foil top the fence using the chain links and lay in the ditch at the bottom
- Fill the ditch back in and compact
Installation instructions - Type B
- Dig an approx. 10 cm deep ditch
- Knock in the steel supports (straight support up to knock-in mark or angled support up to the end of the welded-on sword) at intervals of 2-5 metres – depends ion the scope of delivery
- Thread the longitudinal tensioning rope through the eyelets of the steel supports, tension the rope and fasten in place at both ends with pegs
- Attach the fabric/foil to the top the fence using the chain links and lay in the ditch at the bottom
- Fill the ditch back in and compact
