Hexagonal Wire Mesh Fence Grey 0.8 x 100 m Steel VidaXL

Hexagonal Wire Mesh Fence Grey 0.8 x 100 m Steel VidaXL is a 0.8 m high, 100 m long steel hexagonal (chicken) wire mesh in grey finish designed for flexible enclosure and reinforcement tasks. The mesh features a hexagonal pattern that provides uniform coverage while allowing air and light to pass through. Its steel construction offers mechanical strength for boundary definition, garden fencing, poultry runs, plant protection and light slope or embankment stabilization. The roll format enables on-site cutting and fastening to posts, stakes or frames to suit specific layouts.

Advantages

The hexagonal pattern delivers even distribution of load and prevents larger gaps that could allow small animals to escape, while the thin-profile strands keep the fence visually unobtrusive. The grey finish reduces glare and blends with garden surroundings. Supplied as a long roll, the mesh is easy to transport and store and can be trimmed and shaped on site without specialist tools. Its steel strands provide durability for typical outdoor uses when installed and secured correctly.

Suitable for

• Garden boundaries and decorative fencing
• Poultry runs and small-animal enclosures
• Protecting young plants, shrubs and vegetable patches
• Temporary or permanent barrier for erosion control on small slopes

When it may not be suitable

This steel hexagonal mesh is not intended for heavy structural loads or to replace solid retaining walls; it provides light stabilization and containment only. It may not be suitable where high corrosion resistance is required unless additional protective coatings or regular maintenance are applied. For high-security fencing or locations requiring large-animal containment, a heavier gauge or welded mesh product should be considered.

Key specifications

• Height: 0.8 m
• Length: 100 m (roll)
• Material: steel wire
• Pattern: hexagonal (chicken) mesh
• Colour/finish: grey

How to use

Measure and mark the line where the fence will be installed and place posts at regular intervals to support the roll. Unroll the mesh and cut to length with wire cutters, keeping the hexagonal pattern aligned. Attach the mesh to posts or a supporting frame using galvanized staples, wire ties or clips at multiple points to ensure even tension. Overlap adjacent rolls by one or more mesh widths and secure overlaps to prevent gaps. Trim any sharp wire ends and, if required, apply additional protective coating to cut edges to reduce corrosion risk.

What to consider before purchase

• Confirm required height and total length for your enclosure
• Assess wire gauge and corrosion protection needs for your environment
• Plan post spacing and type of fasteners compatible with the mesh
• Consider whether additional coatings or maintenance are needed for long-term outdoor exposure

Usage recommendations

For stable results, use treated or metal posts driven to sufficient depth and tension the mesh uniformly. When protecting plants, install the mesh at a sufficient distance to allow growth and reduce rubbing. Regularly inspect fastening points and cut edges for rust and touch up with appropriate protective paint or treatment as needed.
