Buy cost-effective chicken wire mesh fence

Hexagonal hole shaped chicken wire mesh is a versatile and durable type of metal fencing commonly used in agriculture and gardening applications. The chicken wire mesh features a unique hexagonal pattern, which not only provides strength and stability but also enhances the aesthetic appeal of the chicken wire mesh fencing.

The hexagonal chicken wire mesh is typically made from high-quality galvanized or PVC coated low carbon steel wire, ensuring its longevity and resistance to rust and corrosion. The installation process is straightforward and can be done with minimal tools, making the chicken wire mesh a cost-effective solution for both small-scale backyard gardens and large-scale agricultural operations.

There is a wide range of chicken wire sizes and colours available on the market, with varying prices. SUNSHINE Group can provide cost references for different types of chicken wire for sale to assist you in selecting the appropriate chicken wire mesh size based on your specific requirements.

First,the specifications of the chicken wire mesh.

Introduction of chicken wire mesh

Material: Black wire or galvanized wire with PVC coating, galvanized low carbon steel wire

Weaving Type: Reverse twist, normal twist

Surface Treatment: Hot-dipped galvanized hexagonal wire mesh, Electro galvanized hexagonal wire mesh, PVC coated hexagonal wire mesh

Types Available: hot dipped galvanized before or after weaving;electro-galvanized before or after weaving；PVC coated hexagonal wire netting

Wire diameter: BWG10-BWG22

The cost of raw materials represents the most direct factor affecting the price of chicken wire mesh. The raw material(Q195/Q235 iron wire) of the chicken wire mesh is common in nature and their prices are relatively stable, with minimal fluctuations. What other factors influence the cost of chicken wire mesh?

Surface treatment of the hexagonal chicken wire mesh

The cost of chicken wire mesh also varies depending on the surface treatment method used. There are two common types of surface treatments for chicken wire mesh: galvanization and PVC coating. Both of these surface treatments provide rust and corrosion resistance, thereby extending the lifespan of the chicken wire mesh.

Hot-dipped galvanized and electro-galvanized chicken wire mesh

The GI chicken wire mesh price depends on how much zinc is used. Hot-dip galvanized chicken wire mesh can achieve a zinc coating weight of 35-200 g/m², while electro-galvanized chicken wire mesh only has a coating weight of 15-38 g/m². Hot-dipped galvanized chicken wire mesh has a thicker zinc layer and higher zinc content, providing better rust and corrosion resistance, and thus a longer lifespan, which is why the hot-dipped chicken wire mesh is more expensive. However, electro-galvanized chicken wire mesh has a smoother and more uniform surface, making the electro-galvanized chicken wire mesh more cost-effective for indoor or temporary use.

PVC coated chicken wire mesh

The PVC chicken wire mesh price is typically higher than GI chicken wire mesh. PVC coated chicken wire mesh is manufactured from galvanized low carbon steel wire that has been coated with a layer of PVC paint by a machine, resulting in enhanced durability and robustness. In addition to the rust and corrosion resistance provided by galvanized chicken wire mesh, PVC coated chicken wire mesh also offers protection against UV damage and comes in a variety of colors to suit different applications. You can choose your preferred color based on your liking and even print your brand on the surface of the PVC chicken wire mesh. With its smooth surface, durability, and diverse color options, PVC coated chicken wire mesh is priced higher than galvanized chicken wire mesh.

Size of chicken wire mesh fencing

It is well known that chicken wire mesh of different sizes has varying costs and prices. But what aspects do the dimensions of chicken wire mesh include? Taking a popular chicken wire mesh on the market as an example, its size is 1/2 inch × 24 guage,4ft by 150 feet.  The "1/2 inch" here refers to the mesh size of the chicken wire,the 24 gauge is the wire diameter,and the 4 feet by 150ft means the width(or height) and length of the chicken wire mesh rolls.

Wire diameter

The chicken wire mesh wire diameter is range from BWG10 to BWG22. The wire diameter, or gauge, of chicken wire mesh is a critical factor that influences its strength, durability, and suitability for different applications. The wire diameter is typically measured in gauges, with lower gauge numbers indicating thicker wire.The iron wire is formed by drawing from wire rod, and the thinner the iron wire, the higher the production cost and price. For example, 24-gauge(0.5mm) iron wire is thinner than 20-gauge(0.9mm) iron wire and therefore more expensive.

Mesh size

The mesh size means the distance across the widest part of the hexagonal opening. The popular mesh size of the hexagonal chicken are:1/2 inch(13mm),1 inch,1.5 inch,2 inch.Hexagonal mesh holes are woven by machines, and the smaller the mesh hole, the longer it takes to weave, resulting in higher costs and more expensive prices.

Packing

The bulk chicken wire mesh for sale are typically cut to a size of 50ft,100feet or 150ft in length and 300mm,600mm,900mm,1200mm or 1500mm in width before being rolled up, covered with plastic film, kraft paper, or burlap to protect against moisture and damage,and placed on pallets for transportation. 

The chicken wire mesh roll price depends on the cost of packaging, where kraft paper packaging is more expensive than plastic film packaging. You can also customize the packaging method according to your needs.
