Product Information

Full details

This VidaXL Chicken Wire Fence in Forest Green is ideal for homeowners and small livestock keepers needing a durable, weather-resistant barrier for various applications. Its key benefit is providing a flexible yet sturdy enclosure that's easy to cut and install. A potential caveat is its wire thickness, which may not be suitable for deterring larger or more determined predators without additional reinforcement. The wire netting serves as an effective solution for fencing, protecting trees and plants, and constructing animal enclosures like aviaries, rabbit, and chicken cages. It's designed for quick and flexible fencing of small livestock areas and poultry confinement.

FAQs

What is the wire thickness of this netting?

The wire thickness is 0.7 mm.

What is the mesh size?

The mesh size is 25 mm.

Is this netting suitable for protecting against large predators like foxes?

The 0.7 mm wire and 25 mm mesh are best suited for deterring smaller animals. For larger predators, additional reinforcement or a heavier-duty fence may be required.

Can this netting be used in wet conditions?

Yes, the PVC coating makes the net water and weather resistant, allowing it to be used in wet conditions without significant degradation.

How do I connect multiple pieces of netting if I need a longer run?

You can overlap the edges of the netting and secure them together using zip ties, wire, or by weaving a piece of wire through the mesh.

Is the green color fade-resistant?

While designed for outdoor use, the fade resistance of the green color can vary depending on environmental exposure. Prolonged direct sunlight may eventually cause some fading.

Can this netting be used for structural purposes, like reinforcing a garden wall?

This netting is primarily designed for barrier and enclosure purposes. Its flexibility and wire thickness may not be suitable for structural reinforcement of walls.

Troubleshooting

Netting is difficult to cut.

Ensure you are using sharp, heavy-duty wire cutters or tin snips specifically designed for cutting metal wire. For thicker sections, multiple cuts may be necessary.

Small animals are getting through the mesh.

The 25mm mesh may not be suitable for very small pests. Consider reinforcing the area with finer mesh or burying the wire deeper to prevent burrowing.

Netting is sagging or not staying in place.

Ensure sufficient support posts or stakes are used and spaced appropriately. Secure the netting tightly to these supports using wire, zip ties, or staples.

Coating appears damaged.

If the PVC coating is significantly damaged, the underlying steel may be exposed to moisture, potentially leading to rust. Inspect regularly and consider reinforcing or replacing the damaged section if corrosion becomes apparent.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Water and weather resistant due to PVC coating.
  • Safe for animals, plants, and the ground.
  • Easy to customize size with simple cutting tools.
  • Versatile for multiple outdoor protection and construction needs.
  • Provides a natural look with its forest green color.

Cons

  • Wire thickness (0.7 mm) might be insufficient for deterring larger predators.
  • Mesh size (25 mm) may allow smaller pests to pass through.
  • Requires additional support for heavy-duty fencing applications.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

  1. Measure and Cut: Unroll the desired length of wire netting. Use appropriate cutting tools (like wire cutters or tin snips) to cut the netting to the required dimensions for your specific application.
  2. Install: Position the netting in the desired location. For fencing, use stakes, posts, or staples to securely anchor the netting to the ground and any support structures.

Compatibility:

  • This wire netting is compatible with standard garden stakes, wooden posts, and zip ties for secure installation.
  • It can be used in conjunction with other fencing materials for added strength or height.

Care:

  • The PVC coating provides inherent protection against rust and weathering.
  • Regularly inspect the netting for any damage or loosening.
  • Clean with a damp cloth if necessary, avoiding abrasive cleaners that could damage the coating.
  • Ensure the netting is properly secured to prevent sagging, which can reduce its effectiveness.
