Fence panel VidaXL hexagonal mesh grey 1.6 x 100 m steel

VidaXL hexagonal mesh fence panel in grey is a steel fencing roll sized 1.6 x 100 m. The panel is manufactured from steel wire woven into a hexagonal (chicken-wire) pattern, providing a lightweight yet stable mesh suitable for enclosing gardens, protecting plants, keeping small animals contained and marking boundaries. Supplied as a continuous roll, the product can be cut to length and fixed to posts, frames or other supports to form a continuous fence of the required height and length.

Advantages

The steel hexagonal mesh construction combines flexibility with mechanical strength, allowing the roll to conform to uneven terrain while maintaining effective containment and protection. The grey finish reduces visual contrast with garden surroundings and provides a neutral appearance. Being supplied in a 1.6 x 100 m roll makes it convenient for covering long perimeters without multiple short panels, and cut-to-length installation enables tailored solutions.

Suitable for

• Garden enclosures and flower beds
• Protecting young trees, shrubs and vegetable patches from small animals
• Pet containment for rabbits, chickens and other small animals
• Temporary or permanent boundary marking and fencing

When it may not be suitable

This steel hexagonal mesh is intended for light to medium containment and protection tasks. It is not intended for heavy-duty security applications where high tensile strength, anti-cut performance or anti-climb features are required. For very large livestock or heavy-impact scenarios, a stronger welded-mesh or panel fence with dedicated fixation systems would be more appropriate.

Key specifications

• Material: steel wire with hexagonal woven mesh
• Colour: grey
• Dimensions (HxL): 1.6 m x 100 m (roll)
• Pattern: hexagonal (chicken-wire style)
• Format: continuous roll, cut-to-length installation

How to use

Unroll the mesh along the intended fence line and position it against posts, stakes or an existing frame. Cut the roll to the required lengths using appropriate wire cutters or tin snips. Fasten the mesh to posts with galvanised staples, wire ties, clips or clamps at regular intervals to ensure stability. Where ground contact is expected, set posts to a suitable depth and consider partially burying the lower edge of the mesh to deter burrowing animals. For a neater finish, fold or bend the top edge over a top rail or attach a capping strip.

What to consider before purchase

• Intended use: light garden protection vs. heavy security requirements
• Required height and length — the roll is 1.6 m high and 100 m long before cutting
• Fixing method and post spacing suitable for the chosen application
• Exposure to weather and whether additional surface protection or coating is needed

Usage recommendations

For best results, plan post spacing and anchoring before installation, use rust-resistant fasteners, and treat cut wire ends to prevent sharp edges. If using for animal containment, inspect regularly for wear or gaps and repair promptly. When installing on sloped ground, overlap adjacent strips and secure at multiple points to maintain continuous protection.
