Hexagonal Wire Mesh to Encircle Poultry or Garden
Hexagonal wire mesh is also known by the name of chicken wire, gabion mesh and hexagonal wire netting. Materials of wire are low carbon steel, stainless steel, zinc-5% aluminum alloy (galfan), iron. Surface treatments are galvanized, PVC coating or galvanized plus PVC coating. Hex mesh is usually used as fence for chicken, rabbit, duck, geese and so on. It can protect vegetable, flower or small plant from poultry and small animals. Chicken wire also can decorate furniture, cabinet and dresser, manufacture sculptures, or used as window screen and door screen. It can be made into rockfall netting and stucco mesh. Heavy hexagonal wire mesh could used for gabion basket and gabion sack, it can control and guide water or flood, used as retaining walls, channel lining, in emergency situation and river training work.

Features

Insulation, refractory, durable.
Resistant to corrosion, rust, oxidation and scour.
Compared with traditional galvanized, galfan hexagonal wire mesh has a good corrosion resistance.
Stable structure, smooth surface, uniform mesh size, high tensile strength.
Unroll easily, cut easily.
Easy to transport and install.
Ensure good air flow, convenience feeder to feed poultry.
Allow vegetation regrowth as gabion or rockfall netting.
Flexible in all direction and would not spread when it is broke.
Electro galvanized wire mesh has lower cost and bright color than hot dipped galvanized.
Hot dipped galvanized hexagonal wire mesh has better corrosion and oxidation resistance than electro galvanized.
Galvanized before weaving hexagonal wire meshes offer better performance of rust and corrosion resistance than galvanized after weaving.
