FAQs
What is the primary material of the mesh?
The mesh is made from galvanized steel with a PVC coating.
What are the dimensions of the mesh openings?
The mesh has aperture openings of 13mm x 13mm.
Can this mesh be used for very small animals like mice?
The 13x13mm aperture is generally suitable for small animals like rabbits or chickens, but might be too large for very small rodents like mice.
How weather-resistant is the mesh?
The galvanized steel core combined with the PVC coating offers good resistance to rust and weather conditions, making it suitable for outdoor use.
What tools are needed to cut this mesh?
Heavy-duty wire cutters or tin snips are recommended for cutting the steel mesh.
Is the green color durable?
The green color is part of the PVC coating, which is designed to be weather-resistant. However, like most coatings, it can be subject to wear and tear over time with abrasive contact.
Can this mesh be used for garden fencing?
Yes, it is suitable for garden fencing to protect plants from pests or to define areas, and the green color helps it blend in.
Troubleshooting
Mesh is difficult to cut
Ensure you are using heavy-duty wire cutters or tin snips specifically designed for metal mesh. Sharpen your tools if necessary.
Mesh is not lying flat
Allow the mesh to lay in the sun for a while to become more pliable. If it's a new roll, it might naturally try to curl; use stakes or secure it firmly at multiple points to train it.
PVC coating appears to be damaged
Inspect the damage. Minor scuffs might not affect functionality. For significant damage, consider applying a compatible sealant if the mesh is critical for rust prevention, though structural integrity is generally maintained by the steel core.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup:
- Unroll the mesh carefully, ensuring it lies flat before cutting.
- Measure and cut the mesh to the desired size using heavy-duty wire cutters or tin snips.
- Secure the mesh using appropriate fasteners such as U-nails, staples, or ties, depending on the surface (e.g., wood posts, brickwork).
- Ensure all cut edges are handled with care to avoid injury.
Compatibility:
This mesh is compatible with a wide range of fastening materials including wood, metal, and concrete. It can be attached to posts, frames, walls, or other structures.
Care:
Due to its PVC coating and galvanized steel core, the mesh requires minimal maintenance. To clean, wipe with a damp cloth. Avoid using abrasive cleaners or solvents that could damage the PVC coating. Periodically check for any signs of wear or damage to ensure continued effectiveness.
