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.

What Is Chicken Pen Wire Used for?

In addition to being used for chicken coops and small animal enclosures, it can be used in many other ways, such as garden fencing, fencing for small vegetable crops, or flower beds.

1. Chicken coops.

2. Garden fencing.

3. Deer control fence mesh.

4. Treeguards/Protecting trees from browsing animals.

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.
