Barrier planner

Combine recorded fence requirements for selected species and inspect matching barrier properties. The result covers barrier requirements; climate, group composition and species interactions still need separate checks.

Barrier requirements

Requirements calculated from the recorded facts.

Minimum grade4

Minimum height3 m

Climb proofNot required

Water as a barrierNot possible

Highest known grade: African Savannah Elephant
Highest known height: African Savannah Elephant

Barrier requirements only. This tool does not assess whether these animals can live together.

Compare barrier materials

Meets known checks: 6 / 16

Build the barrier at or above the minimum height. Material height limits are not supplied in this snapshot; this list does not confirm build-height feasibility.

Calculation and evidence

Grade and height use the highest recorded requirement. Any climbing requirement enables climb proof. Water can act as a barrier only when every selected animal permits it. Unknown requirements remain unconfirmed.

Two reference-tool cases were observed: the default four animals (grade 4, 3 m) and the same group without the elephant (grade 3, 2 m). Other combinations use these stated calculation rules and have not all been checked in the reference UI.

Barrier requirements only; this tool does not assess whether animals can live together.
