Product Information

Full details

This grey wire mesh fencing from Inspirational Gifting is designed for homeowners and gardeners needing a durable and versatile solution for outdoor containment and protection. Its key benefit lies in its galvanised, high-quality construction, offering long-term reliability for various applications from pet-proofing to crop protection. A minor caveat is its 50mm gap, which makes it best suited for light or temporary fencing and may not be suitable for smaller animals without additional measures.

FAQs

What is the mesh gap size?

The mesh features a 50mm (approximately 2-inch) gap between wires.

Is this mesh suitable for keeping out small predators like foxes?

While it provides a barrier, the 50mm gap might not be sufficient to deter determined smaller predators. For better security against such animals, consider reinforcing the mesh or using it in conjunction with other deterrents.

Can this wire mesh be used for garden trellises?

Yes, its hexagonal design can support climbing plants, but it is best suited for lighter growth or as a temporary support structure.

How long does the galvanised coating last?

The galvanised coating provides good protection against rust and corrosion for many years under normal outdoor conditions, but lifespan can vary based on environmental factors.

What is the colour of the wire mesh?

The wire mesh is grey.

Do I need special tools to install this mesh?

Basic tools like heavy-duty wire cutters, pliers, and cable ties are recommended for installation. A hammer might be needed for stakes.

Troubleshooting

Mesh is not staying taut

Ensure sufficient stakes or posts are used. Use line wire for added tension and stability, securing it with tensioners and cable ties.

Animals are digging under the fence

Bury the bottom edge of the mesh at least 6 inches into the ground or create an 'L' shape by bending the bottom outward and securing it.

Rust appearing on the mesh

While galvanised, prolonged extreme exposure can eventually lead to surface rust. This is usually cosmetic and does not affect structural integrity. Ensure proper installation and avoid prolonged contact with corrosive materials.

Mesh is difficult to cut or shape

Use heavy-duty wire cutters or tin snips designed for metal mesh. Wear protective gloves to avoid cuts from sharp edges.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Galvanised for enhanced durability and weather resistance.
  • Versatile for multiple outdoor applications.
  • Easy to handle and install.
  • Cost-effective for basic fencing needs.
  • Provides a secure barrier against common garden pests.

Cons

  • 50mm gap may not be sufficient for very small animals without reinforcement.
  • Best suited for light or temporary fencing rather than heavy-duty applications.
  • May require additional support for taller installations.
  • Can be sharp if not handled carefully during installation.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: Unroll the wire mesh carefully. Secure it to existing posts or fence lines using strong cable ties, wire, or staples. For ground-level applications, consider burying the lower edge of the mesh a few inches into the soil to prevent animals from burrowing underneath. Ensure all edges are properly secured to avoid sharp points protruding.

Compatibility: This wire mesh is compatible with standard post and rail fencing systems. It can be used with wooden or metal stakes. For enhanced strength and stability, use with line wire and appropriate tensioning tools.

Care: Due to its galvanised coating, the mesh requires minimal care. Periodically check the tension and security of the installation. Clean with a damp cloth if necessary to remove debris, but avoid abrasive cleaners that could damage the galvanised finish.
