Why Choose Galvanised Steel Chicken Wire?

Galvanised wire mesh for chickens is often the top choice for many individuals and organisations for several reasons:

1. Durability: Galvanised steel chicken wire is extremely durable. It’s made to withstand all types of weather conditions, making it an excellent choice for outdoor enclosures. The galvanisation process coats the steel with a layer of zinc, making it resistant to rust and corrosion.
2. Long-lasting: Because of its durability, galvanised steel chicken wire tends to have a longer lifespan compared to other types of chicken wire. This can lead to cost savings over time, as it may not need to be replaced as frequently.
3. Protection: The sturdiness of galvanised steel can provide better protection for your chickens. It’s tougher for predators to tear through, keeping your chickens safer from harm.
4. Versatility: This type of wire is not only useful for creating chicken coops but also has many other uses. It can be used for garden fencing, small animal enclosures, crafting, and more.
5. Cost-Effective: While the upfront cost may be higher than other materials, the long lifespan and low maintenance requirements make galvanised steel chicken wire a cost-effective choice in the long run.
6. Easy to Work With: Galvanised steel chicken wire is often easy to cut and shape, making it ideal for DIY projects.

It’s essential to assess your specific needs before making a choice, but these are some of the reasons why many people choose galvanised steel chicken wire.

How Long Should Galvanised Steel Last?

Galvanised steel chicken wire from The Mesh Company, available in 13mm, 25mm, and 50mm hole sizes, is made with top quality materials designed to last.

With proper care and under normal conditions, you can expect this high-grade galvanised steel chicken wire to last for around 10-15 years, maybe even longer. This long lifespan is largely thanks to the galvanisation process which provides a protective zinc coating that significantly improves the wire’s resistance to rust and corrosion. Its durability makes it a cost-effective choice, as it stands up to weather conditions and provides a robust barrier against predators for many years.

How Do I Cut Chicken Wire?

It is important to keep safety in mind when cutting galvanised steel chicken wire. It is recommended that you wear safety glasses to protect your eyes from any wire fragments that might fly off during the process, along with gloves to protect your hands from the sharp edges of the wire. The chicken wire should be measured to your desired dimensions, adding a few inches extra to account for any possible errors, once you have ensured that you are properly protected. Make sure that the cutting lines are clearly delineated by using a permanent marker.

With your safety equipment in place and your wire marked, use wire cutters or tin snips to cut the chicken wire. It is important to cut the wire slowly to ensure accuracy and maintain control over the tool when cutting the wire, so start at one edge and follow the line you have marked. It is possible to use the cut piece for your project after it has been galvanised, providing the durability and long-lasting qualities that galvanised steel is known for.
