Hexagonal Wire Mesh Fence VidaXL 0.4 x 100 m, Steel, Gray

Hexagonal Wire Mesh Fence VidaXL 0.4 x 100 m, Steel, Gray is a roll-type fencing solution made of steel with a gray protective finish. The mesh features hexagonal openings and comes in a 0.4 m height and 100 m length roll, allowing on-site cutting and shaping for perimeter containment, garden borders, small animal enclosures and landscaping projects where flexible, continuous fencing is required.

Advantages

The steel construction provides mechanical strength and resistance to everyday wear, while the roll format enables easy transport and tailored installation. Hexagonal mesh openings offer a balance between visibility and containment, allowing airflow and light while preventing escape of small animals or intrusion of larger debris. The gray finish reduces visual contrast in gardens and outdoor environments and helps protect the metal surface from corrosion under normal outdoor conditions.

Suitable for

• Perimeter fencing for gardens and allotments
• Small animal pens and enclosures (e.g., chickens, rabbits)
• Plant protection and climbing plant support
• Temporary barriers and landscaping projects

When it may not be suitable

This hexagonal wire mesh is not designed as a high-security barrier against determined intruders or for applications requiring load-bearing structural support. For heavy-duty livestock containment (large cattle or horses), welded or heavier-gauge panel fencing with reinforced posts may be more appropriate. Similarly, prolonged exposure in highly corrosive environments (marine spray or chemical exposure) may require additional protective coating or alternative materials.

Key specifications

• Material: steel with gray finish
• Mesh type: hexagonal openings
• Dimensions: 0.4 m (height) x 100 m (length) per roll
• Format: flexible roll suitable for cutting and shaping on site

How to use

Unroll the fencing along the desired line and fix to posts or stakes at regular intervals suitable for the chosen application. Cut the mesh to length using appropriate wire cutters. Attach the fence to posts with ties, staples or wire fasteners, ensuring edges are secured to prevent sagging. Where necessary, fold or bend the mesh at the top or bottom to create reinforced edges. For animal enclosures, check and tighten connections regularly to maintain containment and inspect the protective finish for any signs of corrosion.

What to consider before purchase

• Required height and length for the intended application
• Gauge and strength needed for the animals or loads to be contained
• Environmental conditions and potential need for additional corrosion protection
• Compatibility with chosen posts, fasteners and installation tools

Usage recommendations

Install posts at consistent spacing, typically 1.5–3 m depending on post strength and application, and tension the mesh during fitting to reduce sag. Where long-term durability is required, consider treating cut edges and fastener points with suitable rust-inhibiting paint or sealant.
