Amphibian protection fence: protection for frogs, toads and amphibians during their migration
With the AGROTEL amphibian protection fence, you can make a valuable contribution to the protection of amphibians and reptiles. Our sturdy protective fence made of high-quality plastic fabric ensures that frogs, toads and amphibians can safely reach their waters during spawning season without having to cross dangerous roads.
Why is an amphibian protection fence important?
Every year, numerous amphibians migrate to their spawning waters and often have to cross busy roads. Without suitable protective measures, this leads to high losses in the populations. An amphibian protection fence prevents the animals from accessing the roads and guides them safely to collection containers that can be checked regularly.
Construction of the AGROTEL amphibian protection fence
An amphibian protection fence is a barrier that is erected along roads to protect migrating amphibians such as frogs, toads and salamanders from being killed on the roads. It directs the animals either to collection containers or to special subways through which they can safely cross the road.
Our amphibian protection fence for protecting frogs, toads and amphibians is made of a robust plastic mesh.
Dimensions of the amphibian protection fence:
- Roll length: 50 m
- Roll width: 50 cm

Versions of the AGROTEL amphibian fence

The version with anti-climb guard also has an inwardly curved edge or overhanging elements that prevent the animals from climbing over the fence. This version is particularly effective for species that like to climb, such as newts.
Standard variant
Ideal for frog migration.
Variant with single-sided anti-climb guard
Suitable for newt migration and the protection of young animals.
Variant with double-sided anti-climb guard
