Gauges Explained
The diameter or thickness of the wire is referred to as the gauge (g.). The lower the gauge the thicker the wire.
Our chicken wire is available in:
- 18g. = 1.2mm dia.
- 19g. = 1mm dia.
- 20g. = 0.9mm dia.
- 22g. = 0.7mm dia.
FAQs
Can I use galvanised chicken mesh to protect my flowerbeds from digging animals and defecating cats?
Yes. We’d recommend the Super HDG option. Either attach it to posts and surround the flowerbed, or lie the netting flat on the soil and cover with dirt. Once detected by the animal it will likely stop digging.
How do I attach the mesh to my coop?
- Unravel the netting and use a pair of pliers/cutters to create the desired length.
- Wearing protective gloves, fold about an inch of the netting over at each end to avoid sharp edges that may harm your birds.
- Use a staple gun to attach the netting to posts, or to the outside of your coop.
