This Green Blade Galvanised Chicken Wire Mesh in black is designed for durability and versatility, ideal for gardeners and smallholders seeking reliable containment for animals or protection for plants. Its key benefit is its strong, galvanised construction offering long-lasting rust resistance. A potential consideration is its specific mesh size and gauge, which may not be suitable for very small pests without additional reinforcement.

The mesh aperture size is 25mm (approximately 1 inch).
Yes, the galvanised coating provides good resistance to rust and corrosion, making it suitable for long-term outdoor use. However, prolonged exposure to harsh elements may eventually affect the coating.
The 25mm mesh is effective against larger pests like rabbits and chickens, but mice can pass through. For mouse exclusion, you would need a finer mesh or a secondary layer of finer netting.
Always wear thick work gloves and eye protection when handling and cutting the wire mesh, as the edges can be sharp.
You will need heavy-duty wire cutters for cutting the mesh and tools like pliers, staples, or ties for securing it to posts or frames.
The black colour is part of the finish. While generally durable, some fading or wear may occur over extended periods of direct sunlight and exposure, as with most outdoor materials.
Yes, it can be used for anti-bird netting to protect fruit plants or crops from larger birds, though it might be overkill for smaller birds depending on the specific application.
Ensure you are using heavy-duty wire cutters designed for metal. For thicker sections, multiple passes or specialized cutting tools may be needed.
Ensure adequate support structures (posts, stakes) are used and that the mesh is securely fastened at multiple points. Tensioning the wire during installation can also help.
This is normal wear over time, especially in humid or coastal areas. For minor spots, you can touch up with a suitable metal paint. For significant rust, consider replacing sections or reinforcing with new mesh.
Consider reinforcing the structure with heavier gauge wire or adding additional vertical/horizontal support wires woven through the mesh.
Setup: Unroll the wire mesh carefully, wearing protective gloves to avoid cuts. Cut to the desired length using heavy-duty wire cutters. Secure the mesh to posts, stakes, or frames using wire, staples, or ties. Ensure all edges are safely tucked away or covered to prevent injury to animals or people.
Compatibility: This wire mesh is compatible with most standard fencing posts, wooden stakes, and framing materials. It can be used directly on the ground or attached to existing structures. For enhanced durability in very wet environments, consider additional protective coatings or barriers.
Care: Minimal care is required due to the galvanised finish. Periodically inspect for any signs of rust or damage, especially at cut edges or points of contact. Clean with water if it becomes soiled. Avoid using abrasive cleaners that could damage the galvanised coating.
