Animal Enclosures for Nature-Based Schools and Education

Petfort has been building animal enclosures for schools and educational institutions for 50 years. Ease of use, safety and robust quality are paramount.

Enclosures to suit your school

Each green school has different animals and different spaces. Whether you are looking for a rodent rack, a rabbit cat enclosure, a bird enclosure or a terrarium - Petfort tailors it to fit your students and animals.

Which enclosures suit your school?

Rodent racks

Clear racks for guinea pigs, rabbits and other rodents.

Rabbit runs

Spacious outdoor runs or indoor enclosures for rabbits and small animals.

Bird enclosures

Aviaries and bird cages for indoor and outdoor, custom made.

Custom projects

Specially designed enclosures for special needs and spaces.


Animal shelters for schools

Ease of use comes first

Students pay more attention to the animals than to the enclosures. Therefore we design enclosures that are easy to clean, safe for students and pleasant for the animals.

Safe for students

All enclosures are designed so students can safely access the animals. Doors and hatches are easy to operate; there are no sharp edges.

Robust quality

  • Resistant to intensive daily use
  • Easy-to-clean surfaces
  • Durable materials for long life
  • Service and spare parts available

Proven experience

For the past 50 years we have made enclosures for schools such as Aeres Barneveld, Clucius, Helicon and Wellant. We know what works in an educational environment.

Special Projects

In addition to schools, we also work for care farms, shelters, petting zoos and educational centers.


Animal housing for education and teaching

From a simple rodent rack to a complete educational animal enclosure - Petfort tailors it to ensure animals are well cared for and students interact with them safely.

Rodent racks

Compact, organized and easy to keep clean. Available in various configurations for guinea pigs, rabbits and other rodents.

Rabbit runs

From an indoor cage to a spacious outdoor cat enclosure - we create enclosures to fit the space and number of animals at your school.

Bird enclosures

For schools with birds, we build indoor and outdoor aviaries. We advise on wire mesh, construction and ventilation for the appropriate bird species.

“I’m soooo happy with this catio! Finally, our cats can go outside safely. I’m so glad I came across you on Facebook. We had another section of the patio fenced in at the beginning of June, and now our cats have even more space.”

“Ordered a nice climbing pole and climbing ladder. The cats are happy with them. I just wish it had been installed and finished a bit more neatly. Other than that, I’m satisfied.”

“I had a catio installed on the balcony of my rental home. I’m extremely satisfied—fast delivery, and they were very accommodating regarding the limitations that come with renting (such as not being allowed to drill into the walls).”
