The metal chicken wire nettings are made from high quality low carbon steel wire(Q195/Q235) woven into a hexagonal hole shaped metal fence that provides both strength and flexibility to protect poultry such as chickens and ducks. To extend the life of the chicken wire mesh fencing, a protective coating is usually applied to the surface. Coatings such as galvanisation or PVC provide excellent resistance to rust and corrosion, enabling long-term outdoor use. Chicken fencing wire are usually rolled up and wrapped in plastic film or oil paper for transport on pallets.
Specification
Vinyl coated hexagonal chicken wire, also known as PVC coated chicken wire or rubber coated chicken wire, is a type of chicken coop fencing specifically designed for use in poultry enclosures. The chicken coop wire mesh has a hexagonal (honeycomb) pattern that provides strength and flexibility while maintaining visibility and ventilation. The vinyl coating offers several advantages over traditional metal wire mesh, making the painted chicken wire a popular choice for both commercial poultry farmers and small backyard chicken keepers.
Corrosion Resistance: Made from galvanized low carbon steel wire and coated with a layer of polyvinyl chloride (PVC), the chicken net fence offers enhanced resistance to corrosion, weathering, and abrasion.
Aesthetic Appeal: Available in vibrant colors such as green, black, and brown, the colored PVC coating allows the pvc chicken wire mesh to blend with the environment or add an aesthetic touch, depending on the desired look.
Flexibility and Strength: The PVC chicken wire mesh is flexible and strong, making it suitable for constructing poultry pens, garden fences, and animal enclosures.
Longer Lifespan: The protective PVC coating ensures a longer lifespan and reduced maintenance, which is cost-effective for both temporary and permanent installations.
Easy Maintenance: The smooth PVC coating reduces the need for frequent cleaning or repainting, leading to lower maintenance costs over time.
Choosing the right size chicken wire mesh for a chicken run is crucial to ensure the safety and security of your chickens. The size of the chicken wire mesh refers to both the gauge (wire diameter) and the size of the openings (holes) in the mesh. Here are some key considerations to help you select the appropriate size:
1/2-Inch Mesh: This is the most recommended size for chicken. The small openings prevent predators (such as raccoons, weasels, and snakes) from reaching in and harming the chickens. The 1/2 inch mesh PVC coated chicken coop also keeps the chickens from escaping.
1-Inch Mesh: This size can be used for larger chickens, but it may not be as effective in keeping out smaller predators. The 1 inch PVC coated chicken wire mesh fence generally used for areas where predator risk is lower.
Here is the size chart of PVC coated chicken net fence:
| Mesh (mm) | Mesh (inch) | Before coating/After coating-Before coating/After coating(mm/mm-mm/mm) |
| 13mm | 1/2" | 0.50/0.80-0.65/1.00 |
| 16mm | 5/8" | 0.50/0.80-0.65/1.00 |
| 19mm | 3/4" | 0.50/0.80-0.65/1.00 |
| 25mm | 1" | 0.55/0.85-1.00/1.40 |
| 30mm | 1-1/4" | 0.55/0.85-1.00/1.40 |
| 40mm | 1-1/2" | 0.55/0.85-1.00/1.40 |
| 50mm | 2" | 0.65/1.00-1.00/1.40 |
| 70mm | 3" | 1.00/1.40-1.60/2.00 |
