FAQs

What is the primary use of this wire mesh?

This wire mesh is primarily used for versatile protection in outdoor spaces, such as creating pet enclosures, safeguarding gardens from wildlife, and supporting garden projects.

How tall is this wire mesh roll?

The wire mesh roll is 90cm (approximately 3 feet) tall.

What does 'fully galvanised' mean for the product?

Fully galvanised means the wire has been coated with zinc, providing protection against rust and corrosion, ensuring longevity and durability even in outdoor, weather-exposed conditions.

How can I prevent animals from digging under the fence?

For best results, lay the bottom 35cm of the mesh outwards on the ground around the area you want to protect and secure it by weighing it down or covering it with soil. This creates a barrier that discourages digging underneath.

What is the mesh gap size?

This specific product is a chicken wire mesh, which typically has a 50mm (approximately 2 inch) gap between the top and bottom of the hexagon.

Can this mesh be used for larger animals like dogs?

Yes, it can be used for dog-proofing gardens. However, for very large or energetic dogs, consider reinforcing the base or using a mesh with a smaller aperture for increased security.

What materials are recommended for installation?

For best results, it is recommended to 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. Sturdy posts are also essential.

Troubleshooting

Mesh is sagging or not holding tension.

Ensure posts are securely installed and at an appropriate distance. Use additional line wires at the top and bottom edges and secure them tightly with cable ties to the mesh.

Animals are digging under the fence.

Bury or lay the bottom portion of the mesh outwards on the ground and secure it firmly with stakes, rocks, or soil. Consider using a wire mesh with a smaller aperture if available for more critical areas.

Rust appearing on the mesh.

While galvanised, prolonged exposure to harsh conditions can eventually lead to surface rust. This is often cosmetic and does not compromise structural integrity significantly. For extensive rust, consider applying a rust-inhibiting sealant suitable for galvanized surfaces.

Mesh is difficult to cut or shape.

Use heavy-duty wire cutters or bolt cutters designed for metal mesh. Wear appropriate safety gloves and eye protection.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Provides effective containment for pets and wildlife.
  • Durable and weather-resistant due to galvanisation.
  • Versatile for numerous garden and outdoor projects.
  • Straightforward to install for most users.
  • Offers good protection against common garden pests.

Cons

  • Requires proper installation techniques to prevent animals from digging under.
  • May not be suitable for very large or aggressive animals without additional reinforcement.
  • The hexagonal mesh pattern, while common, might be less aesthetically pleasing for some garden designs.
  • Requires supplementary materials like line wire and cable ties for optimal security.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

  1. Unroll the mesh: Carefully unroll the desired length of wire mesh.
  2. Secure Posts: Install sturdy posts at appropriate intervals to support the mesh.
  3. Attach Mesh: Use cable ties to securely fasten the mesh to the posts. For optimal results and to prevent animals from pushing under, use a line wire along the top and bottom edges of the mesh and tie the mesh to these lines with cable ties.
  4. Ground Installation (Pest Control): For preventing burrowing animals like rabbits, lay the first 35cm of the mesh outwards on the ground and secure it by weighing it down or covering it with soil. This deters digging, as rabbits often dig deeper than the mesh depth.

Compatibility:

  • Compatible with standard fencing posts and line wires.
  • Suitable for use in conjunction with post and rail fencing systems.
  • Can be cut to size using appropriate wire cutters (not included).

Care:

  • The galvanised finish is designed for durability. Clean with a damp cloth if necessary.
  • Inspect regularly for any signs of damage or loosening, especially after severe weather, and make repairs as needed.
