Hexagonal Wire Fence 0.4 x 10 m VidaXL galvanized steel

Hexagonal Wire Fence 0.4 x 10 m VidaXL galvanized steel is a flexible roll of hexagonal mesh designed for lightweight containment and protection. Made from galvanized steel, the mesh resists corrosion and is suitable for outdoor use. With dimensions of 0.4 x 10 m, this fence roll can be used for garden borders, small animal enclosures, plant supports and general partitioning where a durable yet adaptable barrier is required.

Advantages

The galvanized steel construction offers corrosion resistance for outdoor exposure while remaining relatively lightweight for easy handling and installation. The hexagonal mesh pattern provides good visibility and airflow while preventing small animals from passing through. The roll format allows cutting to custom lengths and shaping around posts, slopes or irregular terrain, making the product versatile for multiple applications.

Suitable for

• Garden borders and flower bed protection
• Enclosures for chickens, rabbits and other small animals
• Plant supports, climbing plants and vine training
• Temporary or permanent partitioning in yards and allotments

When it may not be suitable

This hexagonal wire fence is not intended for heavy-duty security or high-load containment. It may not be appropriate where a rigid, high-tensile barrier is required to stop large or strong animals, or to prevent determined intruders. The lightweight construction can deform under concentrated impact or heavy pressure.

Key specifications

• Material: Galvanized steel
• Mesh type: Hexagonal wire (chicken wire style)
• Dimensions (approx.): 0.4 m height x 10 m length
• Finish: Zinc coating for corrosion resistance
• Form: Roll for cutting and shaping on site

How to use

Unroll the fencing and measure the required length. Secure the roll to posts or stakes placed at regular intervals using wire ties, staples or clips appropriate to the post material. Tension the mesh gently to reduce sagging and fix the bottom edge to the ground or to a buried wire to prevent animals from pushing underneath. Trim excess mesh with wire cutters and fold back sharp ends to prevent injury. For long-term installations, attach to wooden or metal posts and consider using horizontal wires for added rigidity.

What to consider before purchase

• Required height and length for your specific application
• Type of posts or fixing method available (wood, metal, stakes)
• Exposure to weather and need for additional protective coatings
• Whether you need heavier-gauge or reinforced fencing for larger animals

Usage recommendations

For stable, longer-lasting installations, use treated wooden or galvanized metal posts set at appropriate intervals and add one or two horizontal support wires to keep the mesh taut. Where small animals are a concern, secure the bottom edge with ground staples or bury a short flap of mesh to deter digging.
