What is PVC Coated Chicken wire?

PVC coated chicken wire, also known as plastic coated hexagonal wire mesh, is made from galvanized steel wire woven into a hexagonal pattern and then coated with a layer of PVC. This coating provides additional protection against rust, sunlight, and chemical corrosion, making it ideal for outdoor and harsh environments.

 

Unlike traditional galvanized chicken wire (which will rust over time), PVC coated chicken wire lasts longer, is more flexible, and looks better.

    SS chicken mesh chemical composition

    Stainless steel chicken wire mesh is usually made of 304 or 316 stainless steel. The chemical composition of these two types of stainless steel is as follows:

    304 stainless steel chicken wire

    Contains 18% chromium (Cr) and 8% nickel (Ni), as well as small amounts of carbon (C), manganese (Mn), silicon (Si), and phosphorus (P). 304 stainless steel has good corrosion resistance and mechanical properties, suitable for most environments.

    316 stainless steel chicken wire

    2% molybdenum (Mo) is added on the basis of 304, which further improves the corrosion resistance, especially in the chloride environment. Extremely resistant to pitting, it is commonly used in marine environments or in the chemical industry.

    Types

    Stainless steel chicken wire mesh can be divided into the following categories according to different weaving methods and specifications:

    According to the weaving method

    1. Plain weave: the most common weave with uniform mesh and high strength.

    2. Twill weave: better flexibility and tensile strength, suitable for complex shape installation.

    According to the surface treatment

    1. Bright surface: smooth surface, beautiful and easy to clean.

    2. Galvanized surface: further improves corrosion resistance, suitable for extreme environments.

    3. Plastic coated surface: wrapped by PVC, PU, PE, or vinyl, the highest level of protection for metal wire.

    The size of chicken wire refers to the spacing of the wire mesh. The most common chicken wire sizes are 1/2 inch, 1 inch, and 2 inches. In general, the smaller the size of the wire mesh, the tighter the weave. This wire is usually made of galvanized steel, which makes it resistant to rust and corrosion. It can be used not only for fencing poultry but also for gardens and some crafts. Chicken wire manufactured by Wanzhi Steel has a wide range of color options, including silver, green, and black. We also offer materials such as stainless steel, galvanized steel, and PVC coated wire. The aperture and wire diameter can be customized. If you are interested, please contact us.

    Common Sizes and Applications

    Different sizes of chicken wire are used for different purposes, depending on the needs and requirements of the application. Here are some common uses for different sizes of chicken wire.

    1. 1/2 Inch

    This size of chicken wire is the smallest size commonly available. The tight mesh is very useful for keeping out small pests and predators such as mice and snakes. When poultry fencing or creating enclosures for small animals such as rabbits or guinea pigs, we should use this size.

    2. 1 Inch

    This size is the most commonly used and the most versatile size. It has a slightly larger mesh but is still effective at keeping out small animals. Garden fencing, and pet fencing, as well as craft projects and DIY home improvement projects, we usually choose this size.

    3. 2 Inch

    It has a larger mesh and is more suitable for large animals, such as dogs or goats, or for making large garden fences. It is also used in construction and landscaping projects such as making temporary fences or reinforcing slopes and dams.

    Chicken wire mesh fence Types

    Here are two types of wire we often sell, galvanized chicken wire and PVC coated chicken wire.

    1. Galvanized Chicken Wire

    Iron wire is usually coated with zinc for corrosion and rust prevention purposes. When chicken fencing wire is protected with a zinc coating, it can be made more durable. This type of poultry wire fencing is generally not very expensive and is the primary choice for many families raising poultry.

    2. PVC Coated Chicken Wire/Vinyl Coated Chicken Wire

    For aesthetic purposes, as well as not having to be replaced for years, it is good to coat galvanized metal wire with PVC. However, this type of chicken netting will be more expensive than the wire that is only galvanized. At Wanzhi Steel, we have black chicken wire, green chicken wire mesh, and other coated poultry wire for sale. The bright colors can make your chicken coop wire more attractive.

     

    3. Stainless steel chicken wire

    Mostly use 304 or 316 stainless steel, which provides corrosion resistance superior to all metals, and is mostly used in applications that require high precision, chloride-containing environments, and high cleanliness environments. Pharmaceutical, biological, maternal, and child scientific research fields.

    How Strong Is Chicken Wire Fence?

    Chicken wire fences can enclose small animals. If you keep animals such as chickens, ducks, birds, mice, or rabbits, then you have absolutely nothing to worry about, chicken wire mesh is perfectly fine for your first choice. However, its strength prevents it from stopping larger animals, such as deer or wild boars.

    In addition, animals like foxes are also capable of tearing or chewing through the wire after perseverance, thus getting into the wire mesh. For better protection of poultry, you can choose metal wire with a thicker wire diameter so that predators will find it difficult to destroy it.

    Can chicken wire roll rust?

    It will eventually rust, but very slowly. The rate depends on the environment in which you use it. In a normal environment, it will rust only after years of use. If you want a long-lasting and durable effect, we recommend PVC coated poultry wire or vinyl poultry netting.

    How Long Will Poultry Wire Mesh Last?

    Some types of galvanized chicken wire will last up to 20 years in the right environment. If you want your chicken mesh to last longer, you can coat it with a PVC coating. PVC coating provides stronger protection for the poultry netting, making it last for many years without Rusting, thus extending the life of the poultry nets.

    Is Chicken Wire Mesh Safe?

    Everyone probably considers safety before buying poultry wire. Poultry wire fence is relatively thin and there is always the possibility of breakage. Once the wire becomes loose, the sharp tip can cause harm to the poultry. Therefore, Wanzhi Steel recommends that you check your chicken coop or fence regularly and maintain it promptly.

    Different Materials of Hardware Cloth

    1. Stainless Steel Hardware Cloth

    Stainless steel hardware cloth is often used in 304, 304L, 316, and 306L series of steel. This type of hardware cloth has strong durability and corrosion resistance. However, stainless steel hardware cloth is expensive. Be sure to determine your budget before choosing.

    2. Carbon Steel Hardware Cloth

    It is an ideal material for making hardware cloth because of its high ductility. Carbon steel is available in high carbon, medium carbon, and low carbon. Variations in carbon content can change the properties of carbon steel and improve its sturdiness.

    3. Galvanized Hardware Cloth

    GI steel is the most common type of hardware cloth. Covering the hardware cloth with a zinc layer will make it corrosion-resistant. As a result, it also has a longer service life than ordinary carbon steel hardware cloth. Currently, it is also a hot selling product of Wanzhi Steel. This is because of its low price and good performance.

    Making the Right Decision

    When building chicken coops and fences, you may be puzzled between chicken wire and hardware cloth not knowing how to choose. If you are experiencing this problem, then keep reading to get the answer.

    1. Define Your Use

    What are you buying them for, as a chicken coop or something else? If you just want to keep your chicks in a coop so they don’t run around, then chicken wire will suit your needs. And chicken wire is relatively inexpensive. But you need to be aware that chicken wire has relatively large openings through which many predators can get in. It can keep the chicken in but not the invaders out.

    2. Choose According to Strength

    Even though chicken wire is a strong material, it can still be easily broken and cut. The density of hardware cloth, on the other hand, makes it a more substantial means of protection. Compared with chicken wire, hardware cloth is stronger and less prone to tearing. Even in the event of a strong impact, hardware cloth can still hold its shape firmly. If you want to keep large animals in captivity, then hardware cloth is a better choice.
