Perfect for My Terrarium Setup
The Zoo Med Naturalistic Terrarium Mesh (18 x 18 inches) was exactly what I needed to separate the filtration layer from the dirt in my terrarium. Itâs durable, easy to cut to size, and does the job perfectly. Great for keeping layers organized and maintaining water flow. Highly recommend for anyone building or upgrading a terrarium!

A great purchase
This is a great mesh, my only gripe is why it isn’t made to fit the gallon measurements that it’s closest to. I have about 3 inches that I have to figure out how to cover because this isn’t long enough. It separates my levels really well,, doesn’t seem to bother my frog and I can sleep knowing that he’s getting good drainage!

Little boi love it!
Perfect for my bioactive terrarium! But if your boi likes digging get 2 sets because it leaves a gap in the middle and on the sides where they can get under since it dosent cover the soil completely. Used it for my 40 gallon

Perfect mesh for my bioactive barrier.
I’ve laid out clay balls, followed by the mesh barrier, and my soil on top. The width of the mesh holes maintains a perfect barrier so the soil doesn’t seem through into the clay ball layer. I have rooted plants and the roots can grow through the mesh to create stability for the plants, no issues there. Overall a very easy to use and good value product. P

Easy to use mesh
Iâve seen this in stores for much more money. Good to have on hand if you plan to make a terrarium and want to keep the layers separate. A little sand got through, but that is to be expected.

An sich ist es ein gutes Produkt an dem man nicht meckern kann. es ist ein Netz. Hält Substrat oben und Drenage unten. Dafür dass es nur ein netz ist, ist es ziemlich überteuert. Musste es für mein Terrarium eh zuschneiden, da könnte man wahrscheinlich auch einfach ein Fliegengitter nehmen.
