The 20-gauge steel wire is galvanized to resist corrosion and finished with a double-direction hexagonal twist so the mesh stays flat, trims cleanly and keeps its shape during installation. With a compact 24\" width and 50' length, this roll is convenient for short perimeter jobs, raised beds or layered protection around shrubs and vines.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eHow does this chicken wire protect my garden without heavy tools?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe 1\" hex openings are small enough to block most pests while still letting sunlight and water through, and the galvanized finish slows rust for season-long performance. Because the roll is lightweight and remains flat, it can be unrolled, cut with wire snips and attached using staples, ties or clips—no heavy-duty equipment required.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e1\" hex mesh keeps out small mammals and prevents poultry escape.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eGalvanized coating increases lifespan versus plain steel.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eFlat roll design simplifies cutting and fastening with basic hand tools.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWill this mesh work for chicken runs and small livestock enclosures?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eYes — the 20GA wire offers enough tensile strength to contain chickens, rabbits and other light animals when properly installed around posts or frames.
