Galvanised Steel Chicken Wire Mesh
13mm galvanised steel chicken wire is the most popular type of garden mesh that we stock. We keep our stock volumes high, meaning that it is available for immediate dispatch off the shelf . Galvanised chicken wire is used all over the world as garden netting due to it’s economical price, light-weight but long-lasting properties and it’s versatility. 13mm galvanised chicken wire refers to chicken wire with a 13mm (0.51 inches) mesh hole size. This type of chicken wire is commonly used for a variety of applications, including garden fencing, animal enclosures, and trellis support. The 13mm mesh size provides a good balance between visibility and security, making it suitable for many different purposes.
Galvanised chicken wire is made from steel wire that has been coated with zinc to protect it from rust and corrosion. The 13mm mesh size provides enough space to allow air and light to pass through, while still being small enough to prevent the escape of small animals or the entry of unwanted prey or pests. This mesh has a 13mm (1/2″ inch) hexagonal shaped hole, which will prevent birds from entering and damaging vegetable patch crops including fruit bushes, salads and newly planted seedlings.
Green PVC coated poultry netting is another extremely popular garden mesh product. The addition of the coating provides protection against rust and corrosion, making it suitable for outdoor use in garden and farm fencing, as well as other applications such as aviaries, pet enclosures, and hardware cloth. The wire mesh itself is made of thin, flexible metal wires that are woven into a hexagonal pattern, providing strength, structure and versatility while also allowing for easy cutting and shaping.

FAQs For This Product
Why Should I Use Galvanised Steel Chicken Wire?
Galvanised steel is used for making chicken wire for several reasons:
- Durability: Galvanised steel is strong and long-lasting, making it ideal for use in outdoor applications where it will be exposed to the elements.
- Rust resistance: The galvanization process involves coating the steel with a layer of zinc, which protects it from rusting and corrosion. This makes the chicken wire more suitable for outdoor use.
- Cost-effective: Galvanised steel is relatively inexpensive compared to other materials, making it an affordable option for chicken wire.
- Versatility: Chicken wire made from galvanised steel is flexible, making it easy to shape and form into various shapes and sizes. This versatility makes it useful for a wide range of applications, such as fencing, cages, and trellises.
- Non-toxic: Galvanised steel is non-toxic and safe for use in environments where food is grown or animals are kept, such as vegetable gardens and poultry coops.
In summary, galvanised steel is a practical, durable, and cost-effective material for making chicken wire.
Is Galvanised Steel Chicken Wire Toxic?
Galvanised steel chicken wire is generally considered to be non-toxic. However, it is important to note that the zinc coating on galvanised steel can leach into the soil over time, potentially leading to increased soil zinc levels. High levels of zinc in soil can be toxic to plants and animals, so care should be taken when using galvanised steel chicken wire in agricultural or horticultural applications. Additionally, the galvanization process may also involve the use of other chemicals, such as lead and cadmium, that can be harmful if ingested.
It is recommended to handle galvanised steel chicken wire with gloves to avoid skin contact or sharp edges, and to wash hands thoroughly after handling it. If you have concerns about the potential toxicity of galvanised steel chicken wire, it is advisable to consult with a specialist or use an alternative material.
Can Chicken Wire Hurt Dogs?
Chicken wire can potentially hurt dogs if they come into direct contact with it. The sharp edges of the wire can cause cuts and scrapes, and if a dog tries to chew on the wire, it could potentially cause injury to its mouth and teeth.
If you have a dog and are using chicken wire in your garden or around your property, it is important to take steps to ensure the safety of your pet. Here are some recommendations:
- Use a smooth-edged wire or a wire with a protective coating to reduce the risk of injury.
- Install the chicken wire in such a way that it is not accessible to the dog, either by securing it to a frame or by burying it underground.
- Supervise your dog when it is outside, and make sure it does not have access to the chicken wire.
- Train your dog to stay away from the chicken wire, using positive reinforcement techniques.
- Green PVC coated chicken wire is considered to be a safer option than galvanised chicken wire as the plastic coating provides protection against sharp edges, making it less harmful to animals.
It is also important to keep in mind that chicken wire may not provide an adequate barrier for dogs that are prone to escape or dig, and in such cases, it may be necessary to use a more secure fence or barrier system.
