What is hex netting?

Hex Wire Netting, also called chicken wire or gabion mesh, is mainly made of high-quality low-carbon steel wire, and some products may use stainless steel wire or other alloy materials to enhance their corrosion resistance or strength. Through a specific weaving process, such as normal twisting or reverse twisting, the metal wires are woven into an angular mesh (mainly hexagonal). This weaving method not only gives the hexagonal wire mesh a unique appearance but also gives it excellent physical properties. Used in animal traps, chicken coops, bird cages, insulation backing, or other animal wire fencing.

Key Features of Hexagonal Wire Netting

• Deformation-Resistant: Hexagonal mesh features hexagonal (honeycomb) shapes that are both strong and flexible. Distributes loads evenly, thus preventing deformation.
• Durability and Strength: Made from galvanized, stainless steel, or PVC-coated steel wire, it withstands harsh environments, including moisture, UV rays, and corrosion.
• Flexibility: Woven mesh is flexible and can be bent, shaped, or cut. Ideal for irregular surfaces or custom designs.
• Easy to Install: Despite its strength, it is lightweight and easy to transport and install, and can be secured with clips, cable ties, and minimal tools.
• Corrosion-Resistant: Galvanized or PVC-coated wires offer excellent corrosion resistance, extending the life of the mesh and reducing maintenance, while the hexagonal shape lends a beautiful appearance.
• Ventilation and Visibility: The open hexagonal design ensures good air circulation and visibility, making it suitable for applications such as fencing, animal enclosures, or garden support.
• Cost-Effective: Compared to other fencing or reinforcement materials, hexagonal wire mesh is affordable and a popular choice for residential and industrial uses.

What are the surface treatments for hexagonal wire netting?

Hexagon wire mesh has a variety of surface treatments designed to improve its corrosion resistance, aesthetics, and service life. Common surface treatments include:

1. PVC coating: PVC coating is performed after weaving to increase the product’s wear resistance, UV resistance, and aesthetics.

2. Hot-dip galvanizing: Hot-dip galvanizing is performed after weaving to improve the corrosion resistance and strength of the product.

3. Electro galvanizing: Electroplating is performed before or after weaving to give the product a specific color or increase its gloss.

What is PVC coated hexagonal wire mesh?

PVC-coated hexagonal mesh is a specially treated metal mesh product. The PVC coating adds color and gloss to the hexagonal mesh, making it more decorative. At the same time, the coating can also prevent the metal mesh from rusting or producing other unsightly spots, providing an extra layer of protection for the hexagonal mesh.

What is Galvanized hexagonal wire mesh?

GI hexagonal wire mesh is a hexagonal wire mesh with a layer of zinc on the surface of the iron wire, and the color is silvery white. Galvanizing increases the corrosion resistance of the hexagonal wire mesh, prolongs its service life, and can be used outdoors and in humid environments. Common galvanizing methods include electro-galvanizing and hot-dip galvanizing. The former has a thinner zinc layer and is cheaper, while the latter has a thicker zinc layer and is suitable for galvanizing steel coils and steel plates, and is relatively more expensive.

What is the use of hexagonal wire mesh?

• Agriculture and animal husbandry: used for fences of chicken coops, duck houses, rabbit cages, cattle, sheep, and other livestock, orchard and farmland fences to prevent birds and small animals, and zoo bird area coverage.
• Construction and engineering: as a substitute for steel mesh, used for reinforcement of concrete structures, slope protection, and retaining wall construction, rockfall nets to prevent rolling stones.
• Gardening and landscape: used for support of climbing plants such as roses, grapes, loofahs, beans, etc., as boundary fences in gardens, for DIY product display nets, and weaving crafts.
• Fisheries and aquatic products: fish pond enclosures to prevent fish escape and biological invasion. Make shrimp cages, crab cages, and other aquaculture cages to improve breeding efficiency.
• Industry and manufacturing: used as filter nets or screens for screening of particles and liquids. Used as protective nets for machinery and equipment to prevent people from accidentally touching.
• Soil and water conservation: Make gabions or Reno mattresses and use them in riverbeds, riverbanks, and slopes. Flood control hex netting helps conserve soil and water resources.

Production process

• Raw material preparation: Galvanized steel wire, PVC coated wire, or stainless steel wire are selected and prepared in coils.
• Wire drawing: The raw material is drawn to the target diameter by a wire drawing machine to ensure a smooth surface and accurate size.
• Weaving: The steel wire is spirally wound and interlocked using an automatic hexagonal mesh weaving machine to form a hexagonal honeycomb grid.
• Surface treatment: Galvanized mesh: immersed in a molten zinc tank (hot dip) or electrolytic galvanizing. PVC mesh: The outer layer of the galvanized wire is extruded and coated with a PVC coating.
• Cutting and winding: Cut into rolls or sheets according to customer requirements, and the edges are treated to prevent derailment.
• Quality inspection: Check the uniformity and tensile strength of the mesh, and conduct salt spray tests.
• Packaging and shipment: Moisture-proof packaging, labeling (specifications/materials), and preparation for transportation.

Note: Special types (such as reinforced gabions) require additional welding frames or reinforcement processes.
