Product Information

Full details

This grey chicken wire fence is ideal for DIY garden projects, livestock containment, and protecting plants. Its key benefit is its sturdy, weather-resistant construction that allows for flexible shaping and installation. A potential caveat is its mesh size, which may not be suitable for very small animals without additional reinforcement. The fence features a durable steel core with a PVC coating, offering resistance to water and harsh weather, and is designed to be safe for the environment, animals, and plants. It comes in a 25 x 0.5 meter roll with 50mm hexagonal meshes and a wire thickness of 0.9mm.

FAQs

What is the mesh size of this chicken wire?

The mesh size is 50 mm (approximately 2 inches).

What materials is the fence made of?

The fence is made of steel with a PVC coating.

Is this fence suitable for protecting plants from deer?

Yes, it can be used to protect individual plants or small garden areas from deer and other medium-sized pests.

Can I use this to build a large outdoor enclosure?

Yes, the 25-meter length allows for constructing significant enclosures, but you will need to ensure proper structural support with posts and fasteners.

Is the grey coating safe for animals?

Yes, the PVC coating is designed to be harmless to the earth, animals, and plants.

How should I store the unused portion of the roll?

Store the roll in a dry place, ideally standing upright or secured to prevent unravelling. The 12 cm roll diameter makes it relatively compact.

Can this wire be easily shaped?

Yes, the wire is designed to be flexible and can be bent or cut into any desired shape for custom applications.

Troubleshooting

Wire is difficult to cut cleanly.

Use heavy-duty wire cutters or tin snips designed for metal. Ensure the cutting tool is sharp.

Fence is not standing upright.

Ensure adequate support posts or stakes are used at regular intervals. For taller or longer fences, add more support points.

Small animals might escape through mesh.

For very small animals, consider lining the inside of the fence with finer mesh hardware cloth or poultry netting.

PVC coating is peeling or damaged.

While durable, avoid excessive scraping or contact with sharp objects. Small abrasions are unlikely to affect function significantly, but larger damage may require sealing or replacing the section.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Durable and weather-resistant PVC-coated steel construction.
  • Highly versatile for various applications like gardening, animal enclosures, and protection.
  • Safe for animals, plants, and the environment.
  • Easy to cut, bend, and shape for custom installations.
  • Provides good containment with its 50mm hexagonal mesh.

Cons

  • Mesh size (50mm) might be too large for very small animals like chicks or very young rabbits without additional lining.
  • May require stakes or additional support for structural integrity in windy areas or for larger enclosures.
  • PVC coating could potentially be scratched or damaged during aggressive cutting or installation.
  • The grey color might not blend aesthetically with all natural landscapes.
  • Roll diameter of 12cm might be bulky for storage if not used quickly.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

  1. Unroll the wire netting carefully, avoiding sharp bends that could weaken the material.
  2. Determine the desired shape and size of your enclosure or barrier.
  3. Use appropriate tools (e.g., wire cutters, heavy-duty scissors) to cut the netting to the required dimensions. Always wear protective gloves.
  4. Secure the netting to posts, stakes, or existing structures using staples, zip ties, or wire fasteners. Ensure all edges are safely tucked away or secured to prevent injury to animals or handlers.

Compatibility:

  • Compatible with wooden posts, metal stakes, and other standard fencing materials.
  • Can be used in conjunction with other materials for reinforcement or specific animal containment needs.

Care:

  • The PVC coating provides excellent weather resistance. Simply rinse with water if dirt accumulates.
  • Avoid using abrasive cleaners or solvents, as they may damage the coating.
  • Inspect regularly for any signs of damage, especially after severe weather, and repair as needed.
