Agriculture & Poultry Farming

Poultry Netting & Chicken Wire

Hexagonal wire mesh – commonly called chicken wire or poultry netting – is the trusted choice for farmers worldwide. The hexagonal pattern provides the perfect balance of strength and flexibility – strong enough to keep predators out, yet flexible enough to wrap around posts and frames easily.

Key Benefits for Farming:

· Predator Protection – Small mesh openings prevent predators from reaching through

· Ventilation – Open weave ensures airflow, keeping coops cool

· Durable Construction – Galvanized steel withstands outdoor exposure

· Easy Installation – Lightweight and flexible; no special tools required

Gabion & Erosion Control

Gabion Mesh for Retaining Walls & Slope Protection

Hexagonal wire mesh is the primary material for gabion baskets – wire cages filled with stones used in civil engineering projects. Our heavy-duty gabion mesh features double-twist construction that allows the structure to tolerate differential settlement without fracture – a critical feature in unstable soil conditions.

Gabion Applications:

· Retaining Walls – Stabilize slopes and prevent soil movement

· Riverbank & Shoreline Protection – Prevent erosion from water flow

· Bridge & Road Protection – Support and protect infrastructure

· Landscaping – Decorative retaining walls and garden features

Gabion Mesh Specifications:

Why Gabion Mesh Works:

· Permeability – Water flows through while soil is retained; no additional drainage required

· Flexibility – Double-twist construction tolerates settlement without breaking

· Economical – Low maintenance, easy installation, versatile application

Construction & Building

Reinforcement & Plastering

Hexagonal wire mesh is widely used in construction as reinforcement for concrete, plaster, and stucco. When embedded in cement or plaster, it adds tensile strength, prevents cracking, and improves structural integrity.

Construction Applications:

· Wall reinforcement and crack prevention

· Thermal insulation and heat preservation

· Pipe wrapping in petroleum and chemical industries

· Safety barriers and site fencing

Gardening & Landscaping

Garden Fencing & Plant Protection

PVC coated hexagonal wire mesh is the preferred choice for gardens, parks, and landscaping projects. The colorful PVC coating (available in green, black, white, and more) blends naturally with the environment while providing extra corrosion protection.

Gardening Applications:

· Garden fencing and plant protection

· Tree guards and plant support

· Compost bins and storage enclosures

· Climbing plant supports and trellises

· Decorative landscape features

Industrial & Environmental

Additional Applications:

· Filtration – Precision filtering with evenly distributed apertures

· Wildlife Conservation – Aviaries, protective enclosures, animal traps

· Power Plants & Chemical Plants – Pipe wrapping, boiler insulation

· Aquaculture – Fish pool fencing and lobster traps

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q1: What is hexagonal wire mesh also called?

Hexagonal wire mesh is commonly known as chicken wire, poultry netting, chicken mesh, hex mesh, gabion mesh, or twist wire mesh.

Q2: What are the main uses of hexagonal wire mesh?

Hexagonal wire mesh is used for poultry fencing, garden fencing, gabion retaining walls, slope protection, erosion control, construction reinforcement, pipe wrapping, and decorative landscaping.

Q3: What is the difference between hot-dip galvanized and electro-galvanized hexagonal mesh?

Hot-dip galvanized mesh has a thicker zinc coating (40-60μm+) offering superior corrosion resistance for outdoor use. Electro-galvanized mesh has a thinner coating and is more cost-effective for indoor or dry environments.

Q4: What mesh sizes are available?

Standard mesh sizes range from 3/8" (10mm) to 4" (100mm). Common sizes include 1/2", 3/4", 1", 1.5", and 2". Custom mesh sizes can be manufactured upon request.

Q5: What is the service life of galvanized hexagonal wire mesh?

Hot-dip galvanized hexagonal wire mesh typically lasts 15-25 years in normal outdoor conditions. PVC coated options offer even longer protection.

Q6: Can you provide custom sizes?

Yes. We offer custom roll widths, lengths, mesh sizes, wire gauges, coatings, and edge types.

Q7: What is gabion mesh and how is it different from standard hexagonal mesh?

Gabion mesh is a heavy-duty hexagonal wire mesh with thicker wire (2.0-4.0mm) and double-twist construction. It is designed for civil engineering applications such as retaining walls, slope protection, and erosion control.

Q8: Is hexagonal wire mesh suitable for seaside or coastal applications?

Yes, especially hot-dip galvanized, Galfan-coated, or PVC-coated hexagonal mesh, which offer excellent corrosion resistance for marine environments.

Q9: What is the minimum order quantity (MOQ)?

For stock sizes, MOQ is typically flexible. For custom manufacturing, MOQ usually starts at 1-2 tons. Please contact us with your specific requirements.

Q10: How is hexagonal wire mesh packaged for shipping?
