PVC Coated Welded Wire Mesh Rolls, Green or Black, 0.6m to 1.8m High, 10m to 30m Long, 13mm to 50mm Holes

These PVC-coated welded wire mesh rolls are made for garden, allotment and animal enclosure fencing where a softer, coloured finish suits better than bare metal. The steel wire is galvanised, welded into a fixed grid, then coated in PVC. Rolls come in green or black, in heights from 0.6m to 1.8m and lengths from 10m to 30m, with hole sizes from 13mm × 13mm up to 50mm × 50mm and wire gauges from 19 gauge (1.0mm) to 10 gauge (3.0mm). They suit gardeners, allotment holders, poultry and small animal keepers.

Why it works

Welded at every join

The wires are welded where they cross, so each hole keeps its shape and the mesh does not slip or unravel when cut. Supplied as a roll, it is easier to transport than panels: unroll it along the line of the fence and cut to length as needed.

Two layers of protection

The steel is galvanised with a zinc coating to help it resist rust, and the PVC coating then adds a second layer that protects the wire from the weather. The plastic also smooths over sharp bits of metal, giving a finish that is kinder to animals and hands than bare galvanised wire.

A finish that blends in

Green helps the mesh sit quietly against hedges, lawns and planting. Black is available in a smaller range of sizes for a darker, more discreet look.

Know the limits: cut ends and the right gauge

The wire is galvanised before welding and coating. Any cut exposes bare steel, and that new metal may rust, so protect every cut end with galvanised spray or paint. Light gauges such as 19 or 17 gauge are not intended to hold back strong or determined animals; for dogs, choose a heavier gauge, such as 12 gauge or thicker. Coating thickness is not published for this line.

Where it's used

The rolls are typically used for:

• Garden and allotment fencing
• Chicken runs and poultry pens
• Dog runs
• Rabbit and small animal enclosures
• Aviaries
• Fruit cages
• Tree and plant protection
• Boundary fencing on posts

Choosing the right option

Not every combination of colour, size, hole and gauge exists, so choose in this order.

Colour. Green covers 19 combinations, from 0.6m × 25m to 1.8m × 25m. Black is offered as 0.9m × 25m in 25mm × 25mm or 50mm × 50mm, and 1.2m × 25m in 50mm × 50mm, all in 14 gauge. The black 1.2m × 25m, 25mm × 25mm, 14 gauge roll is currently unavailable.

Hole size. 13mm × 13mm (0.6m × 25m, 19 gauge) and 25mm × 13mm (1.2m × 10m, 19 gauge) are the finest meshes for small animals, birds and plant protection. 25mm × 25mm suits small animal enclosures, rabbit runs and chicken runs. 50mm × 50mm is the open mesh for larger animals such as dogs and for general boundary fencing. Match the hole to the smallest animal you need to contain or keep out, allowing for young animals.

Gauge. A lower gauge number means thicker wire. 19 and 17 gauge are light and easy to cut; 15 and 14 gauge are mid-weight; 12 and 10 gauge are the heaviest, for dog runs and fencing that takes more pressure.

Installation, use & care

Set timber or other suitable posts first. Unroll the mesh along the fence line, pull it reasonably taut and fix it to the posts with galvanised U staple nails. On longer runs, a straining line wire along the top and bottom helps keep the mesh tight. Cut with wire cutters, wearing gloves throughout, and treat every cut end with galvanised spray or paint. Heavier rolls, particularly the 10 gauge and 1.8m options, need two people to lift and unroll safely. Check fixings and cut ends from time to time and touch up any rust.

FAQ

Which gauge should I choose for a dog run?

Choose a heavier gauge, such as 12 gauge (2.5mm) or 10 gauge (3.0mm), usually with 50mm × 50mm holes. Lighter gauges are better suited to small animals and garden use.

Can I cut the roll to length?

Yes. Cut it with wire cutters while wearing gloves, then protect the cut ends with galvanised spray or paint, because exposed steel at a cut may rust.

How heavy are the rolls?

Roll weights range from about 8kg for light 10m rolls to 79kg for the 1.8m × 25m, 10 gauge roll. Heavier rolls need two people to handle.

Is every size available in black?

No. Black is offered in three combinations, all 14 gauge and 25m long. The black 1.2m × 25m, 25mm × 25mm roll is currently unavailable.
