16" x 20' 1/4" 23-Gauge Hardware Cloth Roll — Galvanized Wire Mesh
Product description
Size and construction: The product comes as a single roll measuring 16 inches wide and 20 feet long. The mesh aperture is 1/4 inch and the wire thickness is 23 gauge.
Galvanizing process: After the wire squares are welded, the entire roll is hot-dip galvanized, producing a double zinc coating over the welds and wire for improved rust resistance and extended outdoor service life.
Packaging and handling: The roll is shipped in a carton to protect its shape and reduce dents. The wire is firm enough to hold form yet flexible enough to bend and wrap into place. Cut the mesh to size with wire snips, tin snips, or other metal cutters as needed.
Typical uses: Intended for chicken pens and coops, raised garden bed protection, screening, rabbit or snake barriers, tree guards, orchard protection, and light fencing. The small 1/4" openings block access by snakes, voles, gophers and other small critters, and protect vegetables and fruits such as tomatoes and strawberries.
Safety and notes: Edges and cut ends are sharp — use gloves and eye protection during handling and installation. Confirm the roll length and mesh size before starting your project. If you encounter any issues after delivery, contact the seller for assistance.
