MTB Supply 20GA Galvanized Chicken Wire 36in x 25ft 1" Hex Mesh — Rust-Resistant, Easy-to-Cut

MTB Supply 20GA Galvanized Chicken Wire is a 36" x 25ft, 1" hexagonal poultry netting engineered for durable, rust-resistant garden fences, chicken runs, and small animal enclosures.

This heavy-duty galvanized hexagonal mesh blends lightweight handling with reliable strength so you can build barriers, protect beds, or confine poultry and pets without costly replacement. The 20-gauge steel is pre-galvanized to resist corrosion and shipped flat for straightforward cutting and fastening. With 1" openings and a 36" roll width, the netting is sized to cover common residential and hobby-farm needs while remaining easy to shape around posts, frames, and raised beds.

What materials and dimensions should I expect?

The roll is constructed from 20-gauge steel wire that has been galvanized prior to packing to improve longevity outdoors. The mesh uses a double-direction hexagonal twist and measures 1" x 1" per hexagon, giving a balance of visibility and containment.

• Wire gauge: 20 GA (approx. 0.036 inches diameter)
• Mesh opening: 1" hexagonal
• Roll size: 36 inches wide by 25 feet long
• Finish: pre-galvanized steel for rust resistance

How easy is it to cut and install for garden fencing or a chicken run?

Installation is straightforward because the netting lies flat and retains shape, allowing clean trimming and secure fastening. You can use standard wire cutters or tin snips for shaping and fence staples, hog rings, or zip ties for attachment.

• Cutting tools: tin snips, wire cutters, or bolt cutters for thicker sections
• Fastening: staples to wood posts, zip ties or hog rings to wire frames
• Support: use T-posts, wooden stakes, or framed panels for rigidity
• Tip: overlap ends and staple every 6–12 inches for a tight seam

What kinds of protection and uses does this netting provide?

This hexagonal poultry netting works well to deter small to medium pests, contain birds, and reinforce lightweight barriers around garden areas. It’s best for above-ground or perimeter uses where visual openness matters and heavy-impact resistance is not required.

• Garden protection: keep rabbits, ground pests, and small predators away from beds
• Poultry use: build chicken runs, temporary coops, or brood enclosures
• Landscaping: support climbing vines or create decorative trellis panels
• Pet containment: make small-animal cages or temporary holding pens

How long will the galvanized finish last outdoors?

Pre-galvanized steel delays oxidation and extends useful service life compared with untreated wire, particularly in non-marine environments. Longevity depends on exposure conditions—coastal salt spray and constant moisture shorten life, while dry, sheltered installations preserve the finish longer.

• Best longevity in inland, well-drained locations
• Consider added protection like paint or galvanic sacrificial coatings in harsh environments
• Periodic inspections and minor repairs keep the fence functional longer
