This Samuel Alexander galvanised steel chicken wire is designed for gardeners and homeowners needing a durable solution for animal containment and garden protection. Its key benefit is its strength and weather resistance, offering long-term use in outdoor environments. A potential consideration is its fixed dimensions, requiring cutting for specific applications. The product features galvanised steel construction for durability, a silver finish, hexagonal mesh with 25mm holes, and comes in a 60cm x 5m roll.

The hexagonal holes in the mesh are 25mm in diameter.
The wire is made from galvanised steel.
The roll measures 60cm in height and 5m in length.
The 25mm mesh size is likely too large for very small pets like hamsters, as they could potentially escape. It is best suited for larger animals like chickens and rabbits.
When cutting the wire, the edges can be sharp. It is recommended to wear protective gloves during installation to avoid injury.
The silver colour is the natural finish of the galvanised steel, providing protection against corrosion.
Yes, you can join multiple pieces together using wire or strong ties to create a larger or taller barrier.
Ensure you are using heavy-duty wire cutters or tin snips. For thicker sections, multiple cuts might be necessary.
Use stronger fasteners such as wire, heavy-duty zip ties, or metal staples. Ensure posts are firmly embedded in the ground.
While galvanised steel is resistant, prolonged exposure to harsh chemicals or constant moisture in specific spots can lead to surface rust. Clean the affected area and consider applying a sealant if necessary, though this is uncommon for standard use.
Setup: Unroll the wire netting to your desired length. Use strong wire cutters or tin snips to cut the mesh to the required dimensions. Secure the netting to posts, stakes, or existing structures using sturdy ties, staples, or clips. Ensure all connections are firm to prevent gaps.
Compatibility: This wire netting is compatible with most standard fencing posts and garden structures. Its flexibility allows it to conform to uneven ground.
Care: Clean the wire periodically with a damp cloth to remove dirt or debris, though its galvanised finish is designed for low maintenance. Inspect regularly for any signs of damage or loosening, especially after severe weather, and reinforce as needed.
