FAQs
What is the mesh size of this chicken wire?
The mesh size is 13mm, which is approximately half an inch.
What are the dimensions of the netting?
The netting measures 4 meters in length and 0.9 meters in height.
Is this netting suitable for all types of chickens?
Yes, it is suitable for most domestic fowl. The 13mm aperture provides good containment and protection.
Can this netting be used to protect against larger predators like foxes?
While it offers some protection, for areas with high fox activity, it's recommended to bury the netting deeply and reinforce it with stronger materials or a deeper mesh size to prevent digging.
How long will the galvanized wire last outdoors?
The galvanized coating provides good resistance to rust and corrosion, offering a durable lifespan for outdoor use. Actual longevity depends on environmental conditions.
Can I use this for a temporary garden fence?
Yes, its flexibility and ease of use make it suitable for temporary fencing solutions to protect plants or create temporary boundaries.
Is the silver color important?
The 'Silver' refers to the natural color of the galvanized steel wire, which is a common finish for durability and corrosion resistance.
Troubleshooting
Netting is not staying taut.
Ensure adequate support posts are used and that the netting is securely fastened at regular intervals with strong staples or wire ties. Consider adding tensioning devices if necessary.
Pests are still getting through.
Verify the mesh size is appropriate for the target pest. For smaller pests or determined diggers, ensure the netting is buried sufficiently deep around the perimeter or consider using finer mesh netting in combination.
Galvanized coating appears rough or uneven.
This is a normal characteristic of the galvanization process and does not affect the strength or protective qualities of the wire.
Wire is difficult to cut.
Use heavy-duty wire cutters or tin snips designed for metal. Ensure the cutters are sharp for a clean cut.
