FAQs

What is the primary use for this 1.2m tall wire mesh?

The 1.2m tall wire mesh is particularly suited for creating robust barriers such as dog runs, fox-proofing aviaries and chicken runs, and providing substantial garden protection against larger animals.

Is the wire mesh safe for use around pets?

Yes, the mesh is designed to create secure boundaries for pets and wildlife. Ensure it is properly installed and free of sharp edges or hazards.

How long will the galvanised finish last?

The fully galvanised finish is designed to provide years of service, offering excellent resistance to rust and weathering under normal conditions.

Can this mesh be used for small animal containment, like rabbits?

While it can deter rabbits, for specific rabbit-proofing, the 'Rabbit wire' with a 31mm gap is typically recommended. This mesh is more suited for larger animal containment and protection.

What tools are needed for installation?

You will typically need heavy-duty wire cutters to cut the mesh to size, and cable ties or wire for securing it to support wires or posts.

Does the mesh come in different lengths?

Yes, wire mesh rolls are available in various lengths, including 25m and 50m, to suit different project sizes.

How do I prevent animals from pushing under the fence?

For best results, use a line wire on the top and bottom of your mesh fence and tie the mesh to the line wire with cable ties. Burying the lower edge of the mesh into the ground also helps prevent digging.

Troubleshooting

Mesh is not staying taut

Ensure line wires are used at the top and bottom and secured tightly with cable ties. Check that fence posts are stable and adequately spaced.

Animals are digging under the fence

Bury the bottom edge of the mesh at least 35cm into the ground or lay it outwards along the ground and secure it with pegs, soil, or stones to deter digging.

Wire mesh is difficult to cut

Use heavy-duty wire cutters specifically designed for metal fencing. Ensure you wear appropriate safety gloves and eye protection.

Rust spots appearing on the mesh

While rare for fully galvanised mesh, small rust spots can be touched up with a galvanising repair paint. Ensure the area is clean before application.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Provides strong, reliable containment for pets and livestock.
  • Galvanised finish ensures long-term durability against the elements.
  • The hexagonal mesh design offers good flexibility for various fencing needs.
  • Height is suitable for deterring larger animals and keeping pets secure.
  • Simple to install and can be integrated with existing fence structures.

Cons

  • May require additional reinforcement (line wire, cable ties) for highly determined animals like large dogs or persistent foxes.
  • Not suitable for very fine mesh applications where small pests need to be excluded.
  • Requires basic tools for cutting and securing, such as wire cutters and cable ties.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: Unroll the wire mesh and position it according to your needs. For optimal security, especially against digging animals, it is recommended to use a line wire along the top and bottom edges. Secure the mesh to these line wires using cable ties at regular intervals. This method also helps keep the mesh taut and stable. The mesh can be easily cut to size using heavy-duty wire cutters.

Compatibility: This wire mesh is compatible with standard post and rail fencing, acting as a secure infill for the lower sections. It can also be used standalone for various containment and protection needs.

Care: The galvanised finish provides excellent protection. To maintain longevity, periodically check for any damage or areas where rust might begin to form, though this is rare with a fully galvanised product. Clean any dirt or debris with a damp cloth if necessary, but avoid abrasive cleaners.
