FAQs
What is the gauge of the wire?
The wire gauge is 19, which offers a good balance of flexibility and strength for most common applications.
Is this suitable for keeping out larger animals like deer?
No, the 1/2-inch mesh and 19-gauge wire are primarily designed for deterring small animals such as rabbits, squirrels, and groundhogs. It is not intended for larger animals.
How is the corrosion resistance achieved?
The hardware cloth is constructed from low-carbon steel and undergoes a hot-dipped galvanization process, which coats the steel with a layer of zinc for superior protection against rust and corrosion.
Can this product be used in constantly wet environments?
Yes, the hot-dipped galvanization provides excellent resistance to corrosion, making it suitable for use in damp or wet outdoor conditions. However, prolonged submersion is not recommended.
What are the dimensions of the mesh openings?
The mesh openings are 1/2 inch by 1/2 inch.
How easy is it to install around corners or curves?
While it can be bent to follow contours, the welded structure makes it relatively stiff. Gentle bending is possible for curves, but sharp angles may require careful manipulation or cutting sections.
Does the product come with any mounting hardware?
No, mounting hardware such as staples or fasteners is not included with the hardware cloth. You will need to purchase these separately based on your installation needs.
Troubleshooting
Mesh is difficult to cut.
Ensure you are using heavy-duty wire cutters or shears specifically designed for metal. For thicker gauges, a bolt cutter might be necessary.
Product arrived damaged or rusted.
Contact customer support with details and images of the damage. The enhanced packaging aims to prevent this, but issues can occasionally occur during transit.
Edges are too sharp after cutting.
Always wear thick work gloves when handling freshly cut hardware cloth. You can also consider folding the cut edge back on itself or covering it with tape or sealant for added safety.
Hardware cloth is not staying in place.
Use an adequate number of fasteners (staples, nails, ties) spaced closely enough to hold the mesh taut against the support structure. Ensure the structure itself is stable.
