This Actiaspet Galvanised Chicken Wire Mesh is for gardeners, smallholders, and DIY enthusiasts needing a versatile and durable barrier. Its key benefit is its adaptability for various protective and containment needs, from animal enclosures to garden protection. A potential caveat is that while it's easily cut and bent, its 22-gauge thickness may not be suitable for deterring larger, more determined predators without additional reinforcement. This product is a 50-meter roll of 25mm (1-inch) hole size, 22 gauge galvanised wire mesh, measuring 60cm (24 inches) in height, designed for easy handling and application in numerous outdoor projects.

The wire is 22 gauge (bwg).
The roll measures 25mm x 600mm x 50m (1 inch x 24 inches x 164 feet).
Yes, it is galvanised for rust resistance and durability in outdoor environments.
For a small, calm dog, it might suffice. However, for larger or more active dogs, a heavier gauge wire or a different type of fencing is recommended for durability and security.
You can use sturdy wire cutters or tin snips. Ensure you wear protective gloves as the cut edges can be sharp.
The galvanised coating provides significant protection against rust. However, prolonged exposure to harsh conditions or damage to the coating may eventually lead to minor rust spots.
The hole size is 25mm (1 inch).
Ensure you are using heavy-duty wire cutters or tin snips designed for metal. For thicker gauge wire, multiple cuts or a stronger tool may be necessary.
Use adequate support structures like posts, stakes, or frame members, and secure the mesh firmly with staples or ties. For taller structures, consider reinforcing the top edge.
This is rare with galvanised wire. If minor spots appear, you can try a wire brush and then apply a galvanising repair spray. For extensive rust, consider replacing the section.
The 25mm mesh is suitable for small to medium animals. For larger animals or determined predators, consider reinforcing the mesh with heavier gauge wire, adding a second layer, or installing a more robust fencing solution.
Setup:
Compatibility:
This chicken wire is compatible with most standard fencing posts, wooden frames, and garden stakes. It can be used in conjunction with other fencing materials for added strength or height.
Care:
While the galvanised coating provides protection, it is advisable to inspect the wire periodically for any signs of damage or excessive rust, especially in highly corrosive environments. Clean with a damp cloth if necessary, avoiding abrasive cleaners that could damage the coating.
