Troubleshooting
Wire mesh is difficult to cut.
Use heavy-duty wire cutters or tin snips designed for metal. Ensure the cutters are sharp for a clean cut.
Animals are finding ways under the fence.
Bury the bottom edge of the chicken wire at least 6 inches into the ground to prevent burrowing.
Mesh is not staying taut.
Ensure adequate support posts are used and spaced correctly. Reinforce attachment points with additional fasteners or by tightening existing ones.
Signs of rust or corrosion appearing.
While PVC coated, excessive damage to the coating can expose the steel. Ensure the mesh is clean and dry when stored, and repair any significant coating damage if possible.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup:
- Unroll the chicken wire mesh carefully, using gloves to protect your hands from potential sharp edges after cutting.
- Determine the area requiring protection and measure the necessary length.
- Use appropriate tools (like wire cutters or heavy-duty scissors) to trim the mesh to the desired size.
- Secure the wire mesh to support posts (wooden stakes, metal poles) using staples, zip ties, or specialized fasteners, ensuring a taut and stable installation.
- For ground-level applications, consider burying the edge slightly to prevent animals from burrowing underneath.
Compatibility:
This mesh is compatible with a wide range of common fencing posts and support structures. It can be used on various surfaces, including soil, grass, and concrete, provided suitable fixings are used.
Care:
- Cleaning: Periodically clean the wire mesh with water to remove dirt and debris. A soft brush can be used for stubborn dirt. Avoid abrasive cleaners that could damage the PVC coating.
- Inspection: Regularly inspect the mesh for any signs of damage, particularly at connection points or areas exposed to constant stress. Repair any loose sections promptly.
- Storage: If removing and storing, ensure the mesh is clean and dry before rolling it up to prevent mildew and corrosion. Store in a dry location.
