Field fence 1.6 x 50 m VidaXL galvanized steel

VidaXL field fence 1.6 x 50 m is a galvanized steel mesh barrier designed for outdoor use. With a height of 1.6 m and a length of 50 m, the fence provides a continuous, corrosion-resistant boundary suitable for marking property lines, enclosing livestock, protecting gardens and small fields. The galvanized steel construction increases durability against weather exposure and reduces maintenance compared with untreated metal fencing.

Advantages

The galvanized steel finish offers protection against rust and extends the service life of the fence in humid or wet environments. The continuous 50 m roll allows for long runs without frequent joins, which simplifies installation and reduces weak points. The mesh design balances visibility and containment, permitting airflow and light while providing a physical barrier to animals or intruders. The product is compatible with standard posts and fixing accessories commonly used in agricultural and horticultural fencing.

Suitable for

• Marking property boundaries on farms, estates or rural properties
• Enclosing livestock such as sheep, goats and other small to medium animals
• Protecting vegetable plots, orchards and garden areas from wildlife
• Temporary or permanent field divisions for pasture management

When it may not be suitable

This fence is intended as a mesh containment and boundary solution, but it may not be appropriate where extremely high security is required, such as preventing determined human intrusion or containing large, powerful animals that can push or jump higher than the fence height. For coastal or highly saline environments, additional maintenance or a higher-grade corrosion-resistant system may be needed despite the galvanization.

Key specifications

• Material: galvanized steel
• Height: 1.6 m
• Length: 50 m (continuous roll)
• Mesh type: welded/ woven steel mesh suitable for field fencing
• Intended use: outdoor agricultural, horticultural and property demarcation

How to use

Unroll the fence along the intended boundary line and position it against prepared posts set at regular intervals. Secure the fence to posts using appropriate ties, staples or clips and ensure the bottom edge is anchored or buried slightly to reduce the risk of animals pushing underneath. For long runs, keep the fence tensioned to avoid sagging and join rolls with overlapping sections and secure fasteners. Regularly inspect fixings and the galvanization for any signs of wear and repair as necessary.

What to consider before purchase

• Required fence height and length for intended animals or boundary needs
• Compatibility with available posts, fasteners and installation tools
• Local environmental conditions (salinity, soil type, exposure) affecting corrosion and anchoring
• Whether additional reinforcement or higher-security fencing is necessary for specific animals or security needs

Usage recommendations

Install on evenly spaced sturdy posts, maintain proper tension, and inspect periodically for corrosion or loose fixings. For added longevity, consider using treated wooden or galvanized posts and avoid direct contact with soil where possible to reduce moisture retention at the base.
