FAQs
What is the mesh size of this chicken wire?
The hexagonal mesh holes have a diameter of 13mm.
What material is the netting made from?
The netting is made from galvanized steel for durability and weather resistance.
What are the dimensions of the netting roll?
The netting is 90cm high and 5m wide.
Can this netting be used to keep out larger animals like deer?
While it can deter smaller to medium-sized animals, its 90cm height and 13mm mesh may not be sufficient to stop larger, determined animals like deer. Additional height or stronger barriers might be needed for such cases.
How do I store the netting when not in use?
The netting comes in a roll and can be easily rolled up and stored in a dry place to prevent unnecessary wear or corrosion.
Is the galvanized coating prone to chipping?
The galvanized coating is designed to be durable. While it can be scratched or chipped under extreme conditions, it generally provides long-lasting rust protection for typical outdoor use.
Can I use this for indoor applications?
Yes, the netting can be used for indoor applications such as crafting or reinforcing materials, provided sharp edges are handled with care.
Troubleshooting
Netting is difficult to cut.
Ensure you are using sharp, heavy-duty wire cutters or tin snips. For thicker gauge wire, multiple passes or specialized tools may be necessary.
Animals are getting under the fence.
Bury the bottom edge of the netting at least 15cm into the ground. You can also use stakes or rocks along the base to secure it further.
Netting is sagging.
Ensure adequate support posts are used and spaced appropriately. Tighten the netting during installation by pulling it taut before securing it to the posts.
Mesh is bending or deforming.
While the hexagonal design adds strength, excessive force or pressure can deform the mesh. Reinforce corners or high-impact areas with additional posts or thicker wire if needed.

Durable and weather-resistant due to galvanized steel construction.
Flexible yet strong hexagonal mesh design.
Versatile for both animal containment and garden pest exclusion.
Can be easily cut to size for custom applications.
Supplied in a convenient roll for storage and transport.
Cons
13mm mesh size may not be suitable for containing very small animals or poultry.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup:
Unroll the chicken wire netting. Use heavy-duty wire cutters or tin snips to cut the mesh to your desired size and shape.
Install by attaching the netting to sturdy posts (wooden or metal) using U-nails, staples, or wire ties. Ensure the mesh is taut to prevent sagging.
For ground-level applications, bury the bottom edge slightly to prevent burrowing animals from getting underneath.
Compatibility:
Compatible with standard fencing posts and fixation methods.
Suitable for use in conjunction with other fencing materials.
The 13mm mesh size is generally compatible with most standard garden environments but verify for specific small animal containment needs.
Care:
The galvanized steel offers inherent rust resistance. No special care is typically required for basic use.
Periodically inspect the netting for any damage or signs of wear, especially at attachment points.
If any rust spots appear over extended periods, they can be treated with a rust inhibitor or sealant.
