Perimeter Fence Bear Perimeter Fence: The perimeter fence around the bear enclosure was damaged from a fallen tree. Several sections of the chain link fence is sagging to the point that that the structural strength of the fence is compromised. Several sections of chain link fence are detached from the top support pole. The top support pole is not continuous around the top of the perimeter fence; some section are missing. The one section of the right half of the enclosure is constructed of a double layer of chain link fence. The two layers are detached from each other. The strength of this section is compromised. There is also a 3" gap between the perimeter fence support pole and gate where a person could fit a hand through, allowing inappropriate access to the bear. Gaps and damage to perimeter fencing may result in failure to prevent the entry of unauthorized persons and unwanted animals. The perimeter fence must be repaired to restore its functional integrity.
