The purpose of this study was to develop an animal protection net using a light and strong fusion resin net instead of a wire mesh fence. We selected nets with different mesh sizes (20 and 30 mm), and compared these with commercial fences. We also tested the strength of the mesh nets against wild boars and examined the practicality of using these nets in the field. The fusion resin net with a mesh size of 30 mm performed better than the resin net with a mesh size of 20 mm. The fusion resin net performed better than did the commercial net and wire mesh, and was easy to install. The net was strong enough to withstand the impact of wild boars. In the field test, however, wild boars were able to get past the fusion resin net at the part near the ground. For practical use, we believe that combining both the fusion resin net and the wire mesh is the best approach, because of the high price of the resin net and the problems associated with boars getting past the fusion resin nets near the ground.
