1/2 inch Hardware Cloth 48in x 100ft 19 Gauge, Hot Dip Galvanized Chicken Wire Fence Roll, Welded Metal Wire Mesh for Garden Rabbit Cage Snake Fence

Protect your garden, poultry, and small animals with this 1/2 inch Hardware Cloth. Measuring 48 inches high by 100 feet long, this roll of welded wire mesh provides 400 square feet of coverage for fencing, caging, and barrier projects. The 1/2 inch small mesh openings block snakes, rats, raccoons, rabbits, and other small pests while allowing air and light to pass through.<br><br>The wire is constructed from high quality iron wire that is welded into a flat mesh, then hot dip galvanized. This post welding galvanization process is superior to pre galvanized wire because the zinc coating covers the weld points as well as the wire surfaces. The result is a fence that resists rust and corrosion at every connection point, extending the life of your installation significantly.<br><br>The 19 gauge wire provides the right balance of strength and flexibility. It is sturdy enough to contain chickens, ducks, rabbits, and other small livestock, yet flexible enough to cut with standard wire cutters and shape around corners or irregular areas. Unlike welded wire with larger gauges that can be difficult to work with, this mesh is manageable for DIY installation.<br><br>This versatile fencing serves multiple purposes around your property. Use it as a chicken wire fence to protect poultry from predators. Create rabbit cages or runs for small animals. Install it around garden beds to keep rodents away from fruits and vegetables. Place it over vents or crawl spaces for snake proofing. Use it as a trellis for climbing plants. The applications are nearly endless.<br><br>For ground protection against burrowing animals, installation requires digging a shallow trench and burying the bottom 2 to 3 inches of the fence. This prevents animals from digging underneath the barrier. For above ground fencing, attach the mesh to wooden or metal posts using fence staples or zip ties. The flat, welded construction keeps the fence rigid and makes for a professional looking installation.<br><br>The roll is heavy at approximately 62 pounds, so two people may be needed for handling. The wire is shipped in a compact 48 by 11 by 11 inch roll for efficient transport. Cut the mesh to any size using wire cutters or an angle grinder for larger projects.<br><br>This hardware cloth is ideal for homesteaders, gardeners, poultry keepers, rabbit breeders, and homeowners seeking durable, rodent proof fencing.<br><br>Product Specifications:<br><br>Mesh Size: 1/2 inch x 1/2 inch square<br><br>Roll Dimensions: 48 inches high x 100 feet long<br><br>Coverage: 400 square feet<br><br>Wire Gauge: 19 gauge<br><br>Material: Q195/Q235 steel wire<br><br>Finish: Hot dip galvanized after welding<br><br>Color: Silver<br><br>Boxed Weight: 64 lbs (product approx 60-62 lbs)<br><br>Packaging: 48" L x 11" W x 11" H roll<br><br>Origin: China
