Product Information

Full details

This galvanised wire mesh fencing is ideal for gardeners and homeowners seeking versatile protection for outdoor spaces, capable of safeguarding pets, wildlife, and crops. Its key benefit is robust, adaptable containment for various garden projects. A potential caveat is that while galvanised, prolonged extreme weather exposure might eventually affect longevity, though it's designed for years of service. The product features a hexagonal mesh design, a 31mm mesh size, a 1.05m height, and a 50m roll length, all fully galvanised for durability.

FAQs

What is the mesh size and why is it important?

The mesh size is 31mm (gap between the top and bottom of the hexagon). This size is effective at preventing rabbits and hares from entering gardens and crops while being robust enough for general containment.

How long will the galvanised finish last?

The fully galvanised finish is designed to provide years of service and excellent resistance to rust and corrosion under normal conditions. Longevity can be extended with proper installation and care.

Can this mesh be used for poultry?

Yes, the 1.05m height and 31mm mesh can be suitable for chicken runs, though for smaller poultry or to deter determined predators like foxes, poultry netting with a smaller mesh size (25mm) might be preferable. Reinforcing the base is always recommended.

How do I secure the wire mesh effectively?

For best results, use line wires at the top and bottom of the mesh. Secure the mesh to these line wires using cable ties at regular intervals. For ground-level protection against burrowing animals, bury the base or lay it outwards.

What is the difference between this mesh and chicken wire?

This product is specifically designed for rabbit control with a 31mm mesh. Standard chicken wire typically has a larger 50mm gap, making it suitable for lighter fencing or temporary jobs but less effective against smaller pests like rabbits.

Can this mesh be used for dog fencing?

While it can help dog-proof gardens, the 1.05m height and 31mm mesh might not be sufficient for larger or more determined dogs. For dedicated dog runs, a taller and potentially stronger mesh (like the 1.2m x 50mm mesh mentioned in product details) might be more appropriate.

Troubleshooting

Mesh is not staying taut

Ensure line wires are used at the top and bottom and are securely tensioned. Use cable ties generously to attach the mesh to the line wires.

Rabbits are digging under the fence

Lay the first 35cm of the mesh flat on the ground outwards from the fence line and secure it with soil, compost, or heavy objects to create an effective underground barrier.

Wire mesh is difficult to cut

Use heavy-duty wire cutters designed for metal mesh. Ensure a firm grip and steady pressure.

Rust spots appearing on the mesh

While galvanisation offers protection, prolonged exposure to highly corrosive environments can lead to surface rust. Clean the affected area gently and consider applying a rust-inhibiting sealant if needed.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Provides effective protection against rabbits and hares.
  • Durable and long-lasting due to galvanised finish.
  • Versatile for various garden and animal enclosure needs.
  • Easy to install and adapt to different project shapes.
  • Generous roll size covers large areas.

Cons

  • May require additional support for very tall or robust containment needs.
  • While galvanised, extreme conditions may lead to eventual wear.
  • Not suitable for containing very small animals or poultry without additional measures.
  • Initial setup might require more than one person for large rolls.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: Unroll the wire mesh carefully. For best results when creating a fence, use a line wire along the top and bottom edges. Secure the mesh to these line wires using cable ties at regular intervals. To deter burrowing animals like rabbits, bury the lower edge of the mesh slightly into the ground or lay the first 35cm flat on the ground outwards from the fence line and secure it with soil, compost, or weights.

Compatibility: This wire mesh is compatible with standard fencing posts and can be integrated with post and rail fencing systems. It can be cut to size using appropriate wire cutters.

Care: The galvanised finish provides excellent corrosion resistance. To maintain longevity, periodically inspect the mesh for any damage or areas where the galvanisation might be compromised. Clean with a damp cloth if necessary, avoiding abrasive cleaners that could damage the protective coating.
