Welded Wire Mesh Panels: welded mesh versus woven chicken wire, and which jobs actually need the extra rigidity
Buying welded wire mesh for the first time raises the same handful of questions every time: how much do I need, how do I stop it sagging, and will it actually do the job. Here is what matters for simpa multipurpose 1m x 10m green pvc coated galvanised steel wire garden fencing roll specifically.
Measuring your run
Measure the full perimeter of the area you want to enclose, then add a little extra for overlap at joins and for wrapping around corner posts rather than cutting and rejoining. 1m high x 10m long, 10.16cm x 5.08cm mesh spacing is what this particular roll or kit gives you — check it against your measured perimeter before you order, since buying one roll short usually costs more in a second delivery than buying slightly generous the first time.
Welded mesh versus woven chicken wire, and which jobs actually need the extra rigidity
Holds its shape under pressure from a determined dog or a flock testing the fence line, because the wires are welded at every join rather than just woven. That is the main reason to pick this material over the alternatives in our range — weigh it against lighter chicken wire, which is cheaper for runs with no determined predators to push against it.
Fitting it
Set posts first at even spacing, then unroll the mesh and fix it to each post working along the line, keeping steady tension so the mesh does not sag between posts.
The short version
Measure first, buy slightly generous, and match the material to the actual risk in your garden rather than the cheapest option on the page. Get in touch if you are not sure simpa multipurpose 1m x 10m green pvc coated galvanised steel wire garden fencing roll is the right fit for your run.
