Wire mesh has lots of uses: making a cost-effective, easy to erect fence to dog proof your gardens, protecting your crops from rabbits and hares and even to fox proof your aviaries and chicken runs. Aviary mesh is always rectangular or square. In addition to aviaries, it can also make a denser and neater fence in a garden. It can also be used on the bottom section of a post and rail fence. Rolls come in many different height and lengths – we do wire mesh from 90cm through to 1.8m tall in 25m and 50m lengths. Aviary mesh comes in both 6m and 30m lengths and are all 90cm (3ft) tall, except for our super strong 1.2m tall x 2 inch (50mm) mesh which is required to be used for dog runs. All of our wire mesh is fully galvanised to give years of service. For best results use a line wire on the top and bottom of your mesh fence and then use cable ties to tie your mesh to the line wire – this will stop pets and animals from pushing under the fence. Wire mesh refers to hexagonal mesh and there are 3 common sizes. Chicken wire – these meshes have a 50mm gap between the top and bottom of the hexagon. This is the cheapest type of wire mesh and is ideal for light and temporary fencing jobs. Rabbit wire – these meshes have a 31mm gap between the top and bottom of the hexagon. Stopping rabbits and hares from getting into your crops and flowers is its main use. Lay the first 35cm of the mesh to the outside of the fence and then either pop some compost and grass seed on top or weigh down do the mesh matts into the soil to form a barrier to stop rabbits digging under. Don’t bother trying to bury the mesh into the ground – rabbits can dig deeper than you ever will! Poultry netting – these meshes have a 25mm gap between the top and bottom of the hexagon. It is super strong to deter foxes.

Troubleshooting
Mesh is difficult to unroll or handle.
Wear thick gloves for grip and protection. Unroll on a flat surface, and consider having a second person assist if needed.
Animals are digging under the fence.
Ensure the bottom edge of the mesh is buried at least 35cm into the ground or secured with heavy objects. Use the recommended line wire and cable tie method to prevent pushing.
Mesh is not staying taut.
Increase the number of support posts or use tensioning devices. Ensure line wires are securely tensioned before attaching the mesh.
