Product Information

Full details

The vidaXL Chicken Wire Fence is an ideal solution for hobby farmers, gardeners, and pet owners looking for a flexible and durable barrier for small livestock or plant protection. With its 25-meter length and plastic-coated steel construction, it provides a balance of longevity and ease of installation for projects like chicken coops or garden borders. While it excels at small area confinement, it should not be used as a primary security measure against larger predators or heavy-duty structural fencing.

FAQs

Can I use this for a dog run?

This wire is intended for small poultry and garden protection. It may not be strong enough to contain large or energetic dogs that might chew or push through the mesh.

Is the wire difficult to cut?

No, the 0.9 mm wire is thin enough to be cut easily with standard manual wire cutters or snips.

Will the green color fade in the sun?

The plastic coating is designed to be weather-resistant, though minor fading may occur over many years of direct, intense sunlight.

Can this be used for underground barrier protection?

Yes, the plastic coating makes it suitable for direct contact with soil, making it a good choice for burying around garden beds to prevent burrowing pests.

Is this wire galvanized?

The wire features a protective plastic coating over the core, which serves to protect against weather and corrosion.

Troubleshooting

Mesh is sagging between posts

Add additional intermediate posts or pull the wire tighter using a wire stretcher tool.

Coating is chipping off

Ensure you are using smooth-edged cutters to avoid damaging the plastic and cover exposed areas with rust-resistant spray.

Difficulty in keeping the wire flat

Unroll the fence completely and weigh down the ends with bricks for a few hours before installation to remove tension from the factory roll.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Weather-resistant plastic coating prevents rust
  • Easy to cut and manipulate with basic wire cutters
  • Non-toxic materials safe for animals and plants
  • Generous 25m length offers great value for multiple projects
  • Lightweight yet sturdy enough for general garden use

Cons

  • Not suitable for containing large livestock
  • Not designed to deter large predators or intruders
  • Requires external posts for structural support
  • Wire thickness is better suited for light-duty containment

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Installation requires standard tools such as a wire cutter, heavy-duty staples, and a hammer or staple gun. To achieve the best results, clear the ground of debris before laying the fencing. When connecting multiple sections, overlap the edges by at least one mesh square and bind them tightly together with galvanized wire.

Compatibility is broad, as this mesh works with most standard garden post types. To maintain the life of the fence, periodically inspect the plastic coating for tears or chips. If the wire core is exposed, applying a bit of outdoor-grade paint or a rust inhibitor can help prolong the lifespan of that specific section. Always store unused portions in a dry area to prevent accidental tangling.
