Hexagonal Wire Mesh - Durable, Versatile & Corrosion-Resistant Fencing Solution

Hexagonal wire mesh, commonly known as chicken wire or poultry netting, is a flexible and lightweight woven metal fabric with hexagonal openings that provides reliable containment and protection across various industries. Made from high-quality low carbon steel, galvanized wire, or PVC-coated wire, this product delivers long-term durability, weather resistance, and structural integrity—ideal for both agricultural and construction applications worldwide.

Engineered for strength and adaptability, hexagonal wire mesh offers superior tensile performance while remaining easy to install and customize. Whether used in livestock enclosures, garden borders, or reinforced plaster systems, its modular design allows for seamless integration into diverse environments—from rural farms to urban infrastructure projects. With multiple mesh sizes and wire gauges available (from 3/8" to 4"), users can select the optimal configuration based on load requirements, environmental conditions, and project specifications.

The product features three primary variants: standard galvanized mesh, reverse twist galvanized mesh, and PVC-coated mesh. Each type caters to distinct use cases. Galvanized versions offer excellent corrosion resistance for outdoor installations, while reverse twist designs provide enhanced stability under tension—perfect for fencing and slope stabilization. The PVC-coated option adds an extra layer of protection against UV exposure and chemical degradation, making it ideal for landscaping, playgrounds, and marine environments where aesthetics and safety are critical.

Key characteristics include uniform hexagonal patterns ensuring consistent spacing, flexibility for curved installations, minimal maintenance needs due to anti-rust coatings, and compatibility with common fastening methods like staples, clips, or ties. Available in BWG wire gauges ranging from 14 to 32, the mesh supports everything from light-duty plant support to heavy-duty livestock containment and geotechnical reinforcement.

Common applications span agriculture, horticulture, civil engineering, and DIY crafts. In farming, it’s widely used for poultry runs, rabbit hutches, and animal enclosures; in gardening, it serves as trellis support for climbing plants and protective barriers around seedlings. For builders, it acts as a lath for plastering walls and ceilings, improving adhesion and reducing cracking. Additionally, it plays a vital role in erosion control, gabion baskets, rockfall prevention, and even artistic installations due to its malleable nature and attractive grid pattern.

Users consistently praise the mesh for its balance of affordability, ease of installation, and long lifespan—even in harsh climates. Many highlight how the reverse twist variant maintains shape better over time compared to traditional twisted meshes, especially when tensioned vertically or horizontally. Others note the added benefit of color options in PVC-coated versions, which blend seamlessly into landscapes without compromising functionality.

What sets this hexagonal wire mesh apart is not just its physical properties but also its versatility. From securing small animals to reinforcing concrete structures, it meets global standards for safety, compliance, and sustainability. It’s a go-to solution for professionals seeking durable materials that perform reliably across seasons and regions.

Q: What makes galvanized hexagonal wire mesh suitable for outdoor use? A: Its zinc coating prevents rust and oxidation, offering extended service life in humid, salty, or acidic environments.

Q: Can I cut the mesh without compromising its integrity? A: Yes, it can be easily trimmed using wire cutters or shears without affecting the overall structure or opening size.

Q: Is there a difference between normal twist and reverse twist mesh? A: Normal twist has alternating left and right twists per strand, whereas reverse twist alternates direction every other row—offering greater rigidity and less sagging under load.

Q: How do I choose the right wire gauge for my project? A: Thicker gauges (lower numbers like 14–20) suit heavy-duty applications such as livestock fencing, while finer gauges (higher numbers like 25–32) work well for gardens, crafts, or temporary enclosures.

Whether you're building a secure coop, reinforcing a wall, or protecting a slope from erosion, hexagonal wire mesh delivers unmatched value through durability, flexibility, and cost-effectiveness. Explore the full range of configurations and find the perfect match for your next project today.
