People not only use chicken wire nets to keep chickens, ducks, and other poultry, but also to protect small animals, garden fences, and even in engineering reinforcement . This blog first takes you to understand its role in protection.
Chicken Wire/Poultry Netting: Key Features and Uses
1.Basic definition

1/2inch (~1.3 cm) – 2 inches (~5 cm)
– available gauges (wire thickness):
22 gauge (~0.7 mm) – 19 gauge (~1 mm)

Chicken Wire Materials
Generally, we divide poultry netting materials into galvanized and PVC coated
1.If you live inland, I recommend galvanized wire, which usually lasts 5–8 years in dry conditions.
2.For coastal cities, I recommend PVC-coated wire, which typically lasts 6–8 years near the sea. (FUDAS can customize products according to the height, size, and material you need)
Specifications For Poultry Netting
In this section, we mainly talk about how to choose the specifications and materials of poultry netting.
1.When choosing specifications, we must first clarify what animals we are protecting. This helps us determine the height of the protective net.
2.For example, if we want to protect chickens, the poultry netting must have a top to prevent eagles from catching them.
3.The height should be higher than 1.7 meters to stop them from flying away by themselves. The mesh size should be one-half inch or less to ensure ventilation and prevent other predators from entering.
Installation Of Chicken Wire
The chicken wire is very flexible to install.
1.You can directly fix the chicken wire on wooden frames, iron pipes, or existing fences, using U-shaped nails, cable ties, or staple guns. Nail or bury the bottom in the ground to keep small animals out.
2.Overlap and tie the corners and seams to improve stability. Pay attention to the cutting edges during installation, use gloves to operate and handle the cuts well to avoid scratching or hanging animals.
Custom Size And Delivery
1.FUDAS can customize the product height and unfolded length according to your requirements, which is more convenient for your use.
2.When we ship the products, we usually pack them in rolls wrapped with outer kraft paper and moisture-proof film to prevent moisture and rust.
3.Each roll has a label indicating the specifications, length and production information for easy inventory and management. (FUDAS can help you customize the logo packaging label)
