Garden Hexagonal Wire Fence VidaXL 1.6 x 50 m, Steel with 13 Steel Posts 32 mm x 180 cm (Galvanized)

vidaXL Hexagonal Wire Fence 1.6 x 50 m is a lightweight steel mesh solution designed for perimeter protection, garden borders and small-animal containment. The package includes a continuous hexagonal wire mesh roll 1.6 m high and 50 m long, together with 13 steel posts of 32 mm diameter and 180 cm length. All metal components have a galvanized finish to reduce corrosion and extend service life in outdoor conditions.

Advantages

The hexagonal mesh design provides good visibility while creating a stable physical barrier; its steel construction delivers strength and a predictable load capacity for common garden uses. Galvanization offers corrosion resistance suitable for outdoor exposure, and the included steel posts simplify installation by providing a complete fence system. The 1.6 m height is adequate for demarcation, plant protection and restricting access by small animals without obstructing views.

Suitable for

• Garden borders and property demarcation
• Small animal enclosures and chicken runs
• Protecting plants, shrubs and young trees from animals
• Temporary fencing for landscaping or maintenance work

When it may not be suitable

This steel hexagonal fence is not intended for high-security applications or for containing large or strong animals that can exert significant force against the mesh. It is a lightweight barrier and may deform under heavy mechanical load or sustained pressure from large livestock.

Key specifications

• Material: steel (galvanized finish)
• Mesh type: hexagonal wire mesh
• Fence dimensions: 1.6 m (height) x 50 m (length)
• Included posts: 13 steel posts
• Post diameter: 32 mm
• Post length: 180 cm

How to use

Begin by planning the fence line and marking post positions at regular intervals. Unroll the mesh along the planned route, then place and secure the first post at one end to establish tension. Attach the mesh to each post using appropriate ties, clips or staples, and keep the mesh taut between posts to minimise sagging. Trim excess mesh at the end of the run and secure the final post. For optimal stability, set posts firmly in the ground or use gravel/small concrete footings where soil conditions require extra support.

What to consider before purchase

• Required fence length and height relative to your site and intended use
• Soil type and whether posts need concrete footings for stability
• Whether the 32 mm diameter posts and 180 cm length meet local wind and load conditions
• If additional fixings, tensioning tools or protective coatings are needed for your environment

Usage recommendations

For best results, use galvanized-compatible ties or clips when fastening mesh to posts, tension the mesh progressively from end to end, and inspect anchor points seasonally for corrosion or loosening. Where extra durability is required, consider applying a zinc-rich touch-up or compatible protective coating to any cut edges or damaged galvanization.
