Chicken Wire Netting

The hexagonal openings are designed to keep chickens in while allowing ample airflow and easy feeding. This wire mesh is made from materials such as stainless steel, heavy galvanized wire, or carbon steel wire.

Hexagonal Opening Sizes

Chicken wire comes in different hexagonal opening sizes, catering to various requirements:

• 1/2 inch (1.27 cm): Commonly used for small animal enclosures and fencing.

• 1 inch (2.54 cm): Ideal for general-purpose poultry enclosures.

• 1-1/2 inch (3.81 cm): Suitable for medium-sized animal fencing and garden use.

• 2 inches (5.08 cm): Used for larger enclosures and heavier fencing applications.

Wire Diameter Sizes and Corresponding Gauge Values

The diameter of the wire used in chicken wire netting varies to suit different applications, and the corresponding gauge values provide a precise measure of wire thickness:

• 0.7 mm (BWG 25 / 22 gauge): Lightweight and suitable for small enclosures.

• 0.9 mm (BWG 23 / 20 gauge): Ideal for general-purpose poultry fencing.

• 1.2 mm (BWG 21 / 18 gauge): Used for medium-duty applications such as garden fencing.

• 1.6 mm (BWG 19 / 16 gauge): Heavy-duty, suitable for larger animals and stronger enclosures.

Customization Capabilities of Chicken Wire

Chicken wire can be customized in several ways to meet specific needs, including material choice, coating, and packaging.

Material Customization

• Low Carbon Steel Wire: Provides good strength and flexibility.

• Galvanized Wire: Offers enhanced corrosion resistance, with zinc coating between 8-25g/mm².

• Stainless Steel Wire: Highly durable and resistant to rust and corrosion.

Coating Customization

• Galvanized Bright: Provides a shiny, corrosion-resistant finish.

• Green PVC Coated: Adds an extra layer of protection and blends well with natural surroundings.

Dimensions and Packaging
