VidaXL galvanized steel field net 1.2 x 50 m for fencing and plant protection

VidaXL galvanized steel field net 1.2 x 50 m is a corrosion-resistant wire mesh designed for outdoor fencing, garden partitioning, and plant protection. The mesh is made from galvanized steel to withstand weather exposure and provide a durable barrier for containment of small livestock, protection of crops from wildlife, and clear perimeter demarcation in agricultural and horticultural settings.

Advantages

The galvanized steel construction offers rust resistance and extended service life in outdoor conditions. Its 1.2 m height and 50 m length provide a continuous protective barrier suitable for long runs of fencing without frequent joins. The mesh structure allows visibility and airflow while still providing a physical barrier to animals and unauthorized access. Installation and maintenance requirements are low compared with non-galvanized alternatives.

Suitable for

• Creating perimeter fences for small livestock such as sheep, goats, and poultry
• Protecting vegetable plots, young trees and shrubs from grazing animals
• Temporary or semi-permanent garden partitions and boundary marking
• Reinforcing existing fences or covering gaps in hedging

When it may not be suitable

This field net is not intended for high-security fencing where anti-climb, anti-cut, or electrified systems are required. It may be insufficient for containing large, strong livestock such as mature cattle or horses without additional posts, tensioning, or reinforcement. For very corrosive environments (constant salt spray or chemical exposure) additional protective measures or specialized coatings should be considered.

Key specifications

• Material: galvanized steel
• Height: 1.2 m
• Length: 50 m
• Application: outdoor fencing, plant protection, garden partitioning
• Mesh type: welded/knitted wire mesh suitable for animal containment and crop protection

How to use

Unroll the field net along the intended fence line and position it against a series of posts placed at regular intervals. Attach the net to the posts using suitable ties, staples, or clips, ensuring the bottom edge is secured to prevent animals from pushing underneath. Use tensioning tools or additional fixing points to remove slack and maintain an upright barrier. For rocky or uneven ground, adjust post spacing and consider adding a bottom wire or trenching the lower edge to improve stability and prevent burrowing.

What to consider before purchase

• Required length and height for your intended application
• Type and strength of animals to be contained or excluded
• Ground conditions and post spacing needed for stable installation
• Exposure to corrosive environments and the need for extra protection

Usage recommendations

For best results, pair the galvanized field net with sturdy wooden or metal posts set to a suitable depth and spaced according to animal pressure. Periodically inspect fixings and the lower edge for wear or lifting, and re-tension or repair sections as necessary to maintain effective protection.
