Product Information

Full details

The vidaXL Wire Netting is an essential solution for gardeners, pet owners, and farmers looking for a versatile and durable containment material. Designed for those needing a flexible barrier, it excels at protecting crops, building animal aviaries, or creating secure boundaries for small livestock. While its galvanised steel construction offers excellent weather resistance, users should note that the netting is best suited for small animals or garden protection rather than heavy-duty livestock fencing.

FAQs

Can this netting be used to keep out deer?

While it can deter animals, it is primarily designed for smaller pests and domestic animals. Deer may be able to push through or jump over it depending on the installation height and tension.

Is the wire safe for chickens to walk on?

Yes, it is safe for poultry, though if used as flooring, ensure it is properly supported so it does not sag under the weight of the animals.

What tools do I need to cut this mesh?

Standard heavy-duty wire cutters or tin snips will work perfectly for cutting this type of wire mesh.

Does the silver finish fade over time?

The galvanised coating is designed to resist rust and color degradation for a significant period when exposed to outdoor elements.

Can I bury this underground?

Yes, many users bury the bottom few inches to prevent animals from digging underneath the fence line.

Troubleshooting

Wire netting is sagging between posts

Add additional support posts or increase the tension by securing the mesh more tightly to the existing supports using tensioning wire.

Rust appearing on cut ends

Once the netting is cut, the exposed steel can be protected by applying a clear coat or a touch-up galvanizing paint to the cut ends.

Netting is too sharp to handle safely

Always fold the cut ends back toward the inside of the enclosure or cover them with garden tape to prevent injury to yourself or animals.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Resistant to water and harsh weather conditions
  • Extremely easy to cut and shape with standard wire cutters
  • Versatile applications ranging from gardening to poultry farming
  • Durable galvanised steel ensures a long service life

Cons

  • May require extra support stakes for high-tension applications
  • Not intended for containing large livestock like cattle or horses
  • Sharp edges can be dangerous if not finished or trimmed properly

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Installation of the vidaXL Wire Netting is straightforward and requires minimal tools, typically just wire cutters, protective gloves, and a method of fastening such as U-nails or heavy-duty wire ties.

  1. Measuring: Unroll the netting along the desired path and measure precisely before cutting to minimize waste.
  2. Cutting: Use standard metal snips or heavy-duty wire cutters. Always wear gloves to protect your hands from sharp wire ends.
  3. Securing: Attach the mesh to your support posts at 30cm intervals to ensure it remains taut and stable.
  4. Care: While galvanised steel is weather-resistant, checking the wire for structural integrity after extreme weather events is recommended. If the finish is scratched, you can apply a cold-galvanizing spray to prevent rust spots from forming.
