It comes in heights of 0.6m, 0.9m and 1.2m, roll lengths of 10m, 25m and 50m, and hole sizes of 25mm and 50mm, although not every combination is offered. The green finish sits more quietly among hedges, beds and planting than bright galvanised netting, which makes it a common choice for gardens, allotments and poultry runs.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eWhy it works\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eGalvanised first, then PVC coated\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe steel wire is galvanised before the green PVC coating is applied. The zinc layer underneath gives the wire a base level of rust protection, and the plastic coating adds a second layer over the top. The thickness of the PVC coating is not published for this line.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eA green finish that blends in\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePlain galvanised netting has a bright silver finish that can stand out in a garden. The green coating helps the mesh fade into lawns, hedging, vegetable beds and borders, so runs, cages and plant guards are less visible from a distance.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eFlexible hexagonal mesh\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe wires are twisted together to form six-sided holes rather than welded at each joint. This keeps the netting flexible enough to unroll by hand, wrap around posts and corners, shape over hoops and frames, and cut to length with wire cutters.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eKnow the limits: coating and predators\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis is a light netting. On its own it is not a fox-proof barrier, and a determined fox can bite through or push past it. Where foxes are a concern, use a heavier welded wire mesh for the run. The PVC coating can also be damaged by cutting, by abrasion against rough posts or stones, and by careless handling, which exposes the steel beneath.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eWhere it's used\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe netting is typically used for:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eChicken and poultry runs and coops\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGarden and allotment plant protection from birds and browsing animals\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFruit cages\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePond covers\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePet and small animal enclosures\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTree and shrub guards\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGarden fencing where a green finish suits the planting better than galvanised wire\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003ctable\u003e\n\u003cthead\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eSpecification\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eDetail\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/thead\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eProduct type\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eHexagonal wire netting (twisted hex mesh) on rolls\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMaterial\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eGalvanised steel wire\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eFinish\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eGreen PVC coating applied over galvanising\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eColour\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eGreen\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eHeights\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e0.6m, 0.9m, 1.2m\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eRoll lengths\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e10m, 25m, 50m (depending on height and hole size)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eHole sizes\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e25mm, 50mm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWire gauge, 25mm hole\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e22 gauge, as listed for this range\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWire gauge, 50mm hole\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e20 gauge, as listed for this range\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eGauge measured before or after coating\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eNot published for this line\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePVC coating thickness\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eNot published for this line\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eCurrently unavailable\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e0.6m × 25m 50mm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eManufacturing standard\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eNot published for this line\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eChoosing the right option\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eStart with the hole size, then pick the height and roll length.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e25mm\u003c\/strong\u003e is the closer mesh, using 22 gauge wire.

Pull the mesh taut and fix it at regular intervals, paying attention to the base so there are no gaps for animals to squeeze under. A straining wire at the top and bottom helps keep longer lengths tight. Cut with wire cutters while wearing gloves, and avoid dragging the roll over rough ground, which can scuff the coating. Cut ends expose bare steel, so check them and the fixings periodically for damage or rust, and replace any sections where the coating has worn through.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eFAQ\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eIs PVC coated chicken wire fox-proof?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNo. It keeps poultry contained and deters smaller animals, but it is not designed to stop a determined fox.
