FAQs

What is the primary use for this wire mesh?

This wire mesh is highly versatile and ideal for garden fencing, dog proofing, protecting crops from rabbits and hares, and securing chicken runs or aviaries.

Is this mesh suitable for small pets like chickens?

The 50mm gap is generally suitable for chickens, but for smaller poultry or to prevent fox entry, it's recommended to use poultry netting with a smaller mesh size or add extra reinforcement.

How do I make the fence more secure against determined animals?

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 method helps prevent animals from pushing under the fence.

What is the length of the roll?

The product information mentions rolls come in 25m and 50m lengths. Please refer to the specific product listing for the exact length available.

How long will the galvanised finish last?

The fully galvanised finish is designed to provide years of service, offering good resistance to rust and corrosion in typical outdoor conditions.

Can this mesh be used for vertical garden structures?

Yes, its flexibility and height make it suitable for creating vertical supports for climbing plants or as part of garden trellising systems.

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.

Rust spots appearing on the mesh.

Minor rust spots can occur but are usually superficial on galvanised wire. Clean gently with a wire brush if necessary. Ensure good ventilation and avoid prolonged contact with standing water.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

  1. Unroll the mesh carefully, wearing gloves to protect your hands.
  2. For fences, use sturdy posts spaced appropriately for the mesh height.
  3. Secure the mesh to posts using staples, ties, or clamps.
  4. For best results, attach a line wire to the top and bottom of the mesh fence.
  5. Use cable ties to fasten the mesh to the line wires, preventing animals from pushing underneath.
  6. For ground-level protection against burrowing animals, bury the lower edge or weigh it down.

Compatibility:
