Product Information

Full details

This Hygrad Built to Survive green PVC coated welded mesh fence wire is designed for homeowners and DIY enthusiasts needing a durable and cost-effective solution for creating animal enclosures, protecting gardens, or securing property. Its key benefit is its robust construction, offering protection against medium-sized predators and pests while maintaining a low profile with its green coating. A potential caveat is that while the PVC coating adds durability, it may eventually wear under extreme conditions, though the underlying galvanized steel provides a strong base.

FAQs

What is the mesh hole size?

The mesh hole size is 1 inch by 1 inch.

What is the wire thickness?

The wire diameter is 0.9mm.

Is this fence suitable for chickens?

Yes, the 1" x 1" mesh is suitable for containing chickens and can also serve as poultry netting to protect them from predators.

Can this fence be used in wet or humid conditions?

The galvanized steel base and PVC coating provide good resistance to rust and corrosion, making it suitable for most outdoor and wet conditions.

How do I secure the fence to wooden posts?

You can use heavy-duty staples driven by a staple gun or hammer, or use U-shaped nails specifically designed for fencing.

Will the green coating fade over time?

While the PVC coating is designed for durability, prolonged exposure to direct sunlight can cause some fading over extended periods. However, the underlying galvanized wire will still provide protection.

Is this fence strong enough for large dogs?

It is suitable for medium to large breeds like German Shepherds and Border Collies. For very large or strong breeds that might test the fence, ensure it is properly installed with sturdy posts and adequate tension.

Troubleshooting

Wire mesh is difficult to cut.

Ensure you are using heavy-duty wire cutters or tin snips designed for metal. For thicker sections, try cutting one wire at a time.

Fence is not staying taut.

Ensure posts are firmly set in the ground and adequately spaced. Use tensioning tools or additional support stakes if needed, especially for long runs.

Animals are finding ways under the fence.

Bury the bottom edge of the mesh at least 6 inches into the ground, or create an L-shaped footer by bending the bottom edge outward along the ground.

PVC coating is peeling or damaged.

Minor damage can be addressed with touch-up paint suitable for metal and plastic. If damage is extensive, consider replacing the section.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Durable construction with PVC coating over galvanized steel.
  • Effective barrier against common garden pests and medium-sized animals.
  • Green color provides a discreet appearance in outdoor settings.
  • Cost-effective solution for various fencing needs.
  • Easy to handle, cut, and install for DIY projects.
  • Versatile for multiple applications beyond simple fencing.

Cons

  • PVC coating may degrade over extended periods of harsh weather exposure.
  • May not be sufficient for containing very large or determined animals without additional support.
  • Wire diameter might be too thin for heavy-duty industrial applications requiring extreme tensile strength.
  • Initial setup may require specific tools for secure fastening.
  • The green coating might not suit all aesthetic preferences.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

  1. Unroll the mesh: Carefully unroll the wire fencing on a flat surface. Allow it to relax for a few hours if it has been tightly coiled.
  2. Measure and Cut: Use heavy-duty wire cutters or tin snips to cut the mesh to the desired size and shape. Wear gloves to protect your hands from sharp edges.
  3. Install: Secure the mesh to posts, stakes, or existing structures using heavy-duty staples, zip ties, or specialized wire fasteners. For ground-level installations, consider burying the bottom edge slightly to prevent burrowing animals.
  4. Shape: Bend and form the mesh as needed to fit around corners, curves, or obstacles.

Compatibility:

This fencing is compatible with standard wooden posts, metal T-posts, and other common fence structures. It can be used in conjunction with other materials for reinforcement.

Care:

  • Cleaning: Wipe down the PVC coating with a damp cloth to remove dirt and debris. Avoid using abrasive cleaners that could scratch the coating.
  • Inspection: Periodically inspect the fence for any signs of damage, such as rust spots (if coating is compromised) or loose connections. Address any issues promptly to maintain its integrity.
  • Maintenance: While the PVC coating offers protection, in areas with extreme salt exposure or harsh chemicals, the underlying galvanized wire may eventually be affected. No active maintenance is required beyond cleaning and inspection.
