Product Information
Full details
The Green Haven Chicken Wire Mesh Roll is designed for home gardeners, smallholders, and DIY enthusiasts who need a reliable, rust-resistant barrier for animal containment or garden protection. Its primary benefit is the ease of installation provided by the flexible 1-inch hexagonal design and included cable ties, making it perfect for custom fencing and raised bed guards. A key caveat is that the 0.6mm wire thickness is best suited for small animals and light-duty garden tasks rather than heavy-duty predator-proofing against large wildlife.

FAQs
Can this be used for cat-proofing?
Yes, it is suitable for creating physical barriers to keep cats within specific garden zones or away from flower beds.
Is the wire thick enough to stop foxes?
No, this 0.6mm wire is intended for light-duty containment and small animal protection; it is not recommended for high-security predator-proofing.
Can I use this for craft projects?
Absolutely. The soft, flexible nature of the hexagonal mesh makes it ideal for framing, floral arrangements, or creative wire-based sculptures.
How do I join two rolls together?
Overlap the ends by at least 5cm and use cable ties or thin binding wire to stitch the two sections together at regular intervals.
Will it rust if left in the rain?
The wire is galvanised specifically to resist rust and corrosion, making it durable for long-term outdoor exposure.
Does it need to be painted?
No, the green coating is already applied for aesthetics and added protection, though you can paint it if you wish to match a specific color scheme.
Troubleshooting
Mesh is sagging between posts
Increase the number of support posts or add a top tension wire to distribute the weight more evenly.
Wire ends are sharp
Use pliers to fold over the cut ends of the wire or cover them with garden tape to prevent injury.
Cable ties are slipping
Ensure the tie is pulled tight with pliers and positioned behind a mesh intersection point to prevent sliding.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup is straightforward: unroll the mesh on a flat surface to measure the required length, then use standard wire cutters to snap the wire. When attaching to wood, use staples or nails; for metal frames or existing fencing, use the included cable ties. While the galvanised steel is naturally rust-resistant, you can extend the life of your mesh by ensuring it is not pulled excessively tight against sharp edges that could scrape the protective galvanisation. Periodically inspect the cable ties for UV degradation if the fence is in direct, intense sunlight, and replace them as needed to maintain structural integrity.
