Hexagonal Wire Fence Grey 1.6 x 50 m Steel VidaXL

Hexagonal Wire Fence Grey 1.6 x 50 m Steel VidaXL is a roll-type hexagonal mesh fence made of steel with a grey protective finish. With overall dimensions of 1.6 m height and 50 m length, this flexible mesh roll is intended for boundary marking, garden protection, poultry enclosures, small animal containment and erosion-control applications. The steel construction gives tensile strength and shape retention while the grey coating provides basic resistance to weathering for outdoor use.

Advantages

The hexagonal mesh design offers flexibility that follows uneven ground and simplifies installation in longer runs. Steel wire provides structural strength for light-to-moderate containment tasks, and the grey finish reduces glare and blends with many outdoor environments. The 1.6 m height gives sufficient coverage for common garden and poultry uses while the 50 m roll length reduces the number of joints and splices required for extended perimeters.

Suitable for

• Garden boundary marking and light perimeter fencing
• Poultry enclosures and small animal pens
• Erosion control and bank reinforcement where mesh support is needed
• Temporary site protection and partitioning of outdoor areas

When it may not be suitable

This hexagonal wire fence is not intended for heavy-duty security or for restraining large, powerful animals where high-impact resistance is required. The grey coating offers basic weather protection but may not provide long-term corrosion resistance in highly corrosive environments such as coastal areas or locations with aggressive chemicals. For applications requiring welded mesh, higher gauge steel, or specialized anti-corrosion treatments, consider an alternative product.

Key specifications

• Material: Steel wire
• Finish: Grey coated surface
• Height: 1.6 m
• Length: 50 m (roll)
• Mesh type: Hexagonal (twisted) mesh

How to use

Unroll the fence along the intended alignment and position support posts at regular intervals. Attach the mesh to posts using appropriate ties, clips or staples, ensuring the mesh is tensioned to reduce sagging. Overlap adjacent rolls or ends by an appropriate margin and secure overlaps to create a continuous barrier. Trim excess wire with wire cutters and fold or fasten cut ends to remove sharp points. For ground-level stability, bend the bottom edge inward or secure the base with U-staples or stakes.

What to consider before purchase

• Required height and total length for your perimeter to calculate number of rolls
• Local environmental conditions (coastal or highly humid areas may require enhanced corrosion protection)
• Type of animals or materials to be contained and whether heavier-duty fencing is necessary
• Post type and spacing suitable for hexagonal mesh installation

Usage recommendations

For longer service life, install posts with concrete footings and maintain tension in the mesh. In areas with ground moisture or salt exposure, consider applying an additional protective coating or choosing a galvanized/stainless alternative. Periodically inspect fastening points and repair any damaged sections promptly to preserve containment and structural integrity.
