VidaXL hexagonal mesh fence grey 0.6 x 100 m steel

VidaXL hexagonal mesh fence grey 0.6 x 100 m steel is a roll of steel wire fencing formed into a hexagonal (chicken‑wire) pattern and finished in grey. The fence delivers a ventilated, low‑profile barrier that is commonly used for perimeter protection, containment of small livestock and poultry, plant protection, and simple garden partitioning. Its 0.6 x 100 m dimensions make it suitable for medium‑length runs where a lightweight but durable mesh is required.

Advantages

This steel hexagonal mesh fence combines corrosion‑resistant steel wire construction with a hexagonal weave that provides flexibility and strength. The grey finish offers a neutral, unobtrusive appearance in outdoor settings. The roll format allows for straightforward transport and unrolling on site, and the open mesh ensures good airflow and light transmission while still providing an effective physical barrier for small animals and plants.

Suitable for

• Enclosing or subdividing garden beds and borders
• Protecting young plants and shrubs from small animals and birds
• Creating temporary or permanent small livestock and poultry pens
• DIY fencing projects and repair works around property boundaries

When it may not be suitable

This fence is not intended for high‑security applications or for restraining large, powerful animals that can exert strong pressure against the mesh. It also does not provide privacy or sound insulation due to the open hexagonal pattern. For structural uses requiring a rigid, load‑bearing panel or for very tall perimeter fencing, a heavier gauge or different fence type should be considered.

Key specifications

• Material: steel wire with grey finish
• Pattern: hexagonal (chicken‑wire) mesh
• Dimensions: 0.6 m (height) x 100 m (length)
• Form: rolled fencing for on‑site unrolling and fixing

How to use

Unroll the mesh along the intended fence line and mark post positions at regular intervals. Fix the mesh to upright posts using suitable ties, staples, or clips, ensuring the bottom edge is secured to prevent animals from pushing underneath. Overlap adjacent rolls and fasten overlaps securely. Trim excess wire with appropriate cutting tools and, if necessary, bend or fold the top edge to remove sharp points. For long‑term installations, use treated or steel posts and tension the wire to reduce sagging.

What to consider before purchase

• Intended use: containment of small animals vs. need for privacy or high security
• Required height and total length for your enclosure
• Compatibility with chosen posts and fixing accessories
• Local exposure to moisture or salt that may affect corrosion resistance

Usage recommendations

For optimal performance, install the fence on evenly spaced, sturdy posts and tension the mesh to minimise sag. Use hooded or folded top edges where people or animals may touch the fence to reduce the risk of cuts. Where ground burrowing is a concern, extend the mesh a short distance below ground or secure it with horizontal ground stakes.
