1. Hardware Cloth with Dual-Protection Construction: 19-gauge steel core with inner galvanization + outer black PVC coating creates a weatherproof barrier resistant to UV fading, chemicals, and abrasion. The 1/4-inch mesh (36x50ft) offers superior rigidity for high-traffic zones like kennel runs or compost bins while blending aesthetically with dark fencing.
2. Wire Fencing for Residential & Poultry Applications: Perfect for urban gardens needing discreet rodent control around vegetable patches or berry bushes. The black finish reduces visibility in landscaped areas, while the 19-gauge thickness withstands scratching from medium-sized predators like opossums or cats. Use as crawl space venting or porch skirting.
3. Chicken Wire for Corrosion Defense System: Unlike standard galvanized mesh, the PVC layer prevents acidic soil corrosion, making it optimal for permanent underground installations such as root barriers or foundation perimeter guards. Resists chipping when bent – ideal for curved trellises or circular tree cages.
4. Wire Mesh DIY Customization Tips: Cut with bolt cutters or angle grinders for clean edges. Attach to wooden frames using stainless steel staples to prevent rust stains. For slope installations, overlap rolls by 6 inches and secure with hog rings.
5. Limitation Notice: Maximum height recommendation: 4ft unsupported. Not rated for bear/coyote protection. The vinyl coating may crack below -20°F – choose hot-dip galvanized in subarctic regions. The coating is safe for green gardening.
