Steel Hexagonal Garden Fence Mesh VidaXL 0.8 x 100 m, welded hex netting

VidaXL steel hexagonal garden fence mesh, size 0.8 x 100 m, is a welded hex netting roll designed for outdoor perimeter containment, plant support and light animal enclosures. The long continuous roll provides a flexible solution for fencing runs, trellis supports and erosion control where a durable hexagonal wire structure is required. Made from welded steel strands, the mesh combines rigidity with adaptability to shape and terrain.

Advantages

This welded hexagonal netting offers consistent hole geometry and uniform strength across the roll, reducing sagging and simplifying installation. Its long 100 m length minimises joins on extended runs and makes it cost-effective for larger areas. The steel construction provides structural stability suitable for supporting climbing plants or securing garden perimeters.

Suitable for

• Garden perimeter fencing and boundary definition
• Plant trellis and support for climbing vines
• Allotments and vegetable gardens to protect crops
• Small animal enclosures and pens (appropriate for small animals)
• Erosion control and reinforcement on slopes or banks

When it may not be suitable

This welded steel hexagonal mesh is intended for light- to medium-duty outdoor uses; it is not designed for high-security fencing or to contain large, powerful animals. If corrosion resistance is a primary concern, additional protective coatings or galvanised variants should be considered since plain steel will require maintenance to avoid rust in exposed environments.

Key specifications

• Material: steel (welded hexagonal wire)
• Roll dimensions: 0.8 m (height) x 100 m (length)
• Mesh form: hexagonal pattern
• Typical applications: fencing, trellis, erosion control

How to use

Unroll the mesh along the intended fence line, securing one end to a fixed post or anchor. Stretch the roll to remove slack and attach at regular intervals to uprights or fence posts using suitable clips, staples or ties. Cut the mesh with bolt cutters or metal shears to the required length. For plant support, fix vertical or horizontal battens to form a stable trellis. Overlap adjacent rolls and fasten overlaps securely where continuous coverage is needed.

What to consider before purchase

• Required roll height and total length for your fencing run
• Whether a galvanised or coated finish is needed for corrosion protection
• Post spacing and fixing method compatible with welded hex mesh
• Tools for cutting and fastening steel mesh (bolt cutters, clips, ties)

Usage recommendations

For longer service life, consider applying a rust-inhibiting treatment or selecting a galvanized option. Use properly spaced posts (commonly 1.5–2 m apart) and tension the mesh to minimise sagging. Inspect fixings periodically and repair any damaged sections promptly to maintain containment and plant support effectiveness.
