FAQs

What is the primary use for this wire mesh?

This wire mesh is primarily designed for fencing, protecting trees and plants, and constructing enclosures for small animals like rabbits and chickens.

What are the dimensions of the mesh openings?

The mesh openings are square, measuring 16 mm in length and 16 mm in width.

Is this fence suitable for larger livestock?

Due to its 0.5 m height and 0.49 mm wire diameter, it is generally not recommended for larger livestock such as sheep, goats, or adult cattle, who may easily overcome or break through it.

How long is the roll of wire netting?

The roll measures 25 meters in length and 0.5 meters in height.

Will the green coating wear off easily?

The PVC coating is designed for durability in outdoor conditions. However, excessive abrasion or prolonged exposure to harsh chemicals could potentially damage it over time.

Can this wire mesh be used for garden boundaries?

Yes, it can be used as a low garden boundary to deter pests or delineate areas, but it will require sturdy posts for support.

What is the wire diameter?

The wire diameter is 0.49 mm.

Troubleshooting

Wire mesh is sagging or unstable.

Ensure support posts are firmly planted and spaced appropriately. Re-tension the wire mesh and secure it more tightly to the posts. Consider adding more support posts for longer runs.

Animals are able to get through or over the fence.

Verify the mesh size (16x16mm) is appropriate for the animal. If animals are escaping over the top, consider a taller fence or adding an overhang. If they are digging under, bury the bottom edge of the mesh or secure it to a ground-level barrier.

Coating is damaged, exposing steel.

For minor scratches, you can attempt to repair with a suitable outdoor sealant or touch-up paint. If damage is extensive, consider replacing that section of mesh to prevent rust.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Durable and long-lasting due to galvanized steel and PVC coating.
  • Versatile for various garden and animal enclosure needs.
  • Rust-resistant, suitable for outdoor use in different weather conditions.
  • The green color helps it blend into natural surroundings.
  • Easy to cut and install for DIY projects.

Cons

  • The 0.5 m height may be insufficient for containing larger or more active animals.
  • The 0.49 mm wire diameter might be too thin for heavy-duty protection against determined predators.
  • Requires additional support structures (stakes, posts) for effective tensioning and stability.
  • The roll diameter of 21.5 cm suggests a relatively thin gauge wire, despite the mesh size.

Setup, Compatibility & Care Instructions

Setup:

  1. Unroll the wire mesh carefully, taking care to avoid kinking.
  2. Determine the desired location and height for your fence.
  3. Secure the mesh to support posts (wooden stakes or metal poles) using U-staples, wire ties, or clamps. Ensure posts are firmly embedded in the ground for stability.
  4. For enclosures, ensure the mesh is anchored securely at the base to prevent animals from digging underneath.
  5. Cut the mesh to size using appropriate wire cutters.

Compatibility:

This wire mesh is compatible with standard wooden posts, metal stakes, and existing fence lines. It can be used in conjunction with other fencing materials for added security or aesthetics.

Care:

Due to its galvanized steel core and PVC coating, this wire mesh requires minimal care. Regularly inspect for any damage to the coating that might expose the steel. Clean with a damp cloth if necessary. Avoid using abrasive cleaners that could scratch or damage the PVC surface. Store any unused portion in a dry place to prolong its life.
