The mesh opening is approximately 50mm x 50mm (2 inches x 2 inches).

The wire gauge is 20 BWG (Birmingham Wire Gauge).

Yes, the PVC coating provides good protection against weather and rust, making it suitable for many permanent outdoor applications. However, extremely harsh environments might still affect its longevity over many years.

The product description does not specify UV resistance for the coating, but PVC coatings generally offer some resistance to environmental factors. Prolonged direct sunlight may eventually cause fading or degradation.

The product is sold as a roll, typically rolled and secured for shipping. The dimensions of the roll are 600mm x 50m.

The 50mm mesh size is generally too large to effectively exclude smaller, agile predators like weasels or stoats. For such animals, a smaller mesh size is recommended.

Ensure you are using sharp, heavy-duty wire cutters or tin snips specifically designed for metal. For thicker gauges, multiple cuts or a more robust cutting tool may be required.

While PVC coated, damage to the coating can expose the metal. Inspect the mesh for tears or abrasions. If minor damage occurs, it may be possible to apply a suitable sealant or paint. For significant rust, replacement of the affected section may be necessary.

Check for gaps in the installation, especially at the base or corners. Ensure the mesh is securely fastened and buried sufficiently if used on the ground. Consider reinforcing with smaller mesh or stronger materials if facing determined animals.
