1. Hardware Cloth for Compact Area Solution: Narrow 36-inch width suits confined spaces – ideal for balcony garden screens, worm bin ventilation, or beehive mouse guards. The 1/4-inch mesh keeps away aphid-carrying ants from climbing fruit trees.
2. Wire Fencing with Precision Craft Focus: Preferred by model builders for terrain mesh, jewelry makers for chainmail bases, and conservators for artifact mounting. Easily shaped into seed-starting domes or bonsai winter protection cages.
3. Chicken Wire Fit for Micro-Habitat Creation: Install as lizard hibernaculum lining or bat house landing pads. The fine grid protects tadpole nurseries from dragonfly larvae while permitting water flow.
4. Wire Mesh Urban Installation Tips: Secure to brick with masonry clips or to chain link with plastic ties. For potted plant protection, create cylindrical sleeves secured with floral wire.
5. Critical Notice: Requires painting if used near copper surfaces to prevent galvanic corrosion. Not raccoon-proof – supplement with hot wires.
