Product Description
WANSUN Hexagonal Poultry Mesh (also known as chicken wire or hex netting) is woven from galvanized steel wire into a hexagonal mesh pattern. This lightweight, flexible mesh is ideal for poultry enclosures, garden fencing, plant protection, craft projects, and small animal barriers. The hexagonal weave provides excellent visibility while preventing entry of small predators.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can poultry mesh keep out predators like foxes and raccoons?
Hexagonal mesh with 25mm (1") openings and 0.8mm+ wire provides a reasonable barrier against most small predators. For determined predators like foxes, we recommend using 50mm mesh with heavier 0.9mm HDG wire, or consider our welded mesh for maximum security.
How long does galvanized poultry mesh last outdoors?
EG (electro-galvanized) mesh typically lasts 3-5 years outdoors. HDG (hot-dipped galvanized) mesh can last 10-15 years in temperate climates. For maximum longevity, bury the mesh 15-20cm into the ground to prevent digging and ground-level corrosion.
Can I use poultry mesh for tree trunk protection?
Yes, 25mm (1") mesh is ideal for wrapping tree trunks to protect against bark damage from rabbits, rodents, and deer. Cut to size and loosely wrap the trunk, securing with wire ties. The mesh allows air circulation while providing physical protection.
What is the most popular mesh size for chicken coops?
25mm (1") mesh with 0.7-0.8mm EG wire is the most popular choice for chicken coops. It contains chickens while excluding most predators. For chick brooders, 13mm (1/2") mesh prevents escape of small birds.
