Each sheet measures 0.9m × 0.6m (3ft × 2ft) and is made from 19 gauge (1.0mm) galvanised steel wire, welded into a grid of square holes. Two hole sizes are available to buy: 25mm × 25mm and 6mm × 6mm. The 13mm × 13mm hole size is currently unavailable. They suit small animal keepers, gardeners and allotment holders.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eWhy it works\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eA welded grid in a manageable size\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis is welded wire mesh: the steel wires are joined where they cross to form a fixed grid of square apertures. At 3ft × 2ft, a sheet is small enough to carry, measure and fit on your own and suits hutch fronts, cage panels and covers.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eGalvanised steel for outdoor use\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe wire is hot-dip galvanised. Galvanising coats the steel with a protective layer that helps it resist corrosion and rust, which is why this type of mesh is a common choice for gardens, allotments and construction sites.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eFine wire that is easy to cut\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWire gauge describes the thickness of the wire, and the larger the number, the thinner the wire. At 19 gauge, the wire is approximately 1mm thick, compared with approximately 4.5mm for 6 gauge. That makes the sheets easy to handle and simple to snip to size with ordinary wire cutters. Wear gloves when handling or cutting the mesh.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eKnow the limits: cut edges and coating at the welds\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAny cut you make exposes bare steel, and that new metal may rust. Protect every cut end with galvanised spray or paint. Published information for this line is also not consistent on whether the galvanising is applied before or after welding. Where wire is galvanised before welding, the welding can remove a small amount of coating at the joints. Check the welds and touch up any bare spots. This is a light-gauge mesh; where a job needs stronger wire, a thicker gauge is the better choice.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eWhere it's used\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe sheets are typically used for:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSmall animal hutches, pet cages and enclosures, from hamster cages up to wall panelling for chicken coops\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAviaries and bird cages\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePond covers and leaf protection\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eClimbing plant support in gardens and on allotments\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSmall mesh jobs on construction sites\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\u003eWelded wire mesh sheet\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMaterial\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSteel wire\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eFinish\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eHot-dip galvanised\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSheet size\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e0.9m × 0.6m (3ft × 2ft)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWire gauge\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e19 gauge (1.0mm)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eHole sizes available\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e25mm × 25mm; 6mm × 6mm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eCurrently unavailable\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e13mm × 13mm hole size\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eGalvanising sequence\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eNot confirmed for this line (published information differs)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSheet weight\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eNot published for this line\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eCoating weight\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eNot published for this line\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\u003eBoth options share the same sheet size and the same 19 gauge wire, so the only choice is the hole size.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e25mm × 25mm\u003c\/strong\u003e is the more open mesh.

Treat each cut end with galvanised spray or paint before fitting. On timber frames and posts, fix the mesh with galvanised U staple nails. Where two sheets meet, join them with wire panel clips or cable ties. For plant supports, fix the sheet to timber posts.
