Product Information

Full details

This 90cm tall grey wire mesh from Inspirational Gifting is designed for home gardeners and smallholders seeking robust, versatile protection for their outdoor spaces. Its primary benefit is providing a durable barrier against common garden pests like rabbits and foxes, while also securing pets. A key consideration is that while fully galvanized for longevity, it requires proper installation with line wires and ties for optimal effectiveness against determined digging animals.

FAQs

What is the primary use of this wire mesh?

This wire mesh is primarily used for garden fencing, including dog-proofing, protecting crops from rabbits and hares, and securing aviaries or chicken runs.

How do I prevent animals from digging under the fence?

For best results, bury the bottom 35cm of the mesh into the ground or bend it outwards at ground level and secure it. Using line wires and cable ties to keep the mesh taut also helps.

Is this mesh suitable for deterring foxes?

Yes, the poultry netting type with a 25mm gap is designed to be strong enough to deter foxes from chicken runs and other enclosures.

What does 'fully galvanised' mean for the product?

Fully galvanised means the wire has been coated with a layer of zinc to protect it from rust and corrosion, ensuring a longer service life, especially in outdoor conditions.

What are the different mesh gap sizes and their uses?

The product refers to three common types: 50mm gap (chicken wire) for light/temporary fencing, 31mm gap (rabbit wire) for crop protection, and 25mm gap (poultry netting) for stronger deterrence against predators like foxes.

Can this mesh be used on existing fences?

Yes, it can be used on the bottom section of a post and rail fence for added security or attached to existing fence lines.

What are the dimensions of the roll?

This specific roll is 90cm tall. Rolls are available in various heights and lengths, with common lengths being 25m and 50m.

Troubleshooting

Mesh is sagging or not taut.

Ensure line wires are properly tensioned at the top and bottom and that the mesh is securely fastened to them with cable ties at regular intervals.

Small animals are still getting under the fence.

Bury the lower 35cm of the mesh into the ground or bend it outwards at the base, securing it with stakes or weights to create a dig-proof barrier.

Wire cutters are not cutting the mesh easily.

Use heavy-duty wire cutters designed for thicker gauge wire. For particularly tough sections, repeated cuts may be necessary.

Rust spots appearing on the mesh.

While the mesh is fully galvanised, prolonged exposure to certain environments can cause minor surface rust. This is usually cosmetic. For persistent issues, consider applying a suitable metal sealant to affected areas.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Provides effective pest deterrence for gardens and poultry.
  • Durable and long-lasting due to full galvanisation.
  • Adaptable to various uses beyond standard fencing.
  • Straightforward to install for most DIY applications.
  • Offers good value for general-purpose garden security.

Cons

  • May require additional reinforcement against very determined burrowing animals.
  • Specific mesh sizes are better suited for different pests (e.g., 50mm for light duty, 25mm for fox deterrence).
  • Requires supplementary materials (line wire, ties) for best performance.
  • Not suitable for applications requiring extreme structural strength or height.
  • The grey colour might not blend seamlessly with all garden aesthetics.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: For optimal security, it is recommended to use a line wire along the top and bottom edges of the mesh. Secure the mesh to these line wires using cable ties at regular intervals. This method prevents animals from pushing the bottom edge outwards. The mesh can be attached to existing posts or used with standalone fence posts.

Compatibility: This wire mesh is compatible with most standard fencing systems, including post and rail fences. It can be cut to size using appropriate wire cutters. Ensure any cut edges are handled carefully.

Care: The fully galvanised finish provides excellent rust resistance. To maintain longevity, periodically check the mesh for any damage or signs of corrosion, particularly at connection points. Keep the area around the base of the fence clear of debris that could promote moisture retention.
