MTB Supply PVC Chicken Wire 20GA 12in x 50ft Black — 1" Hex Mesh, Galvanized Core, Weatherproof

MTB Supply PVC Black 20GA hexagonal poultry netting is a 12-inch-by-50-foot, 20-gauge galvanized-steel wire roll with a 1" hex mesh and a black PVC coating, built for garden fencing, chicken runs, and small-animal enclosures.

This coated chicken wire combines a galvanized steel core with a black PVC outer layer for improved corrosion resistance and a low-profile appearance. Designed for hobby farms, backyard coops and garden protection, the roll is lightweight for easy handling yet reinforced so it stays flat during installation. Use it to build temporary or semi-permanent barriers, protect plantings from foraging animals, or contain poultry and small livestock.

How does this netting hold up outside over time?

The wire’s galvanized interior resists rust while the black PVC coating adds a weatherproof outer layer that reduces corrosion and extends the material’s usable life. The PVC finish also helps the roll retain its shape and fight abrasion from repeated handling or contact with posts.

• 20-gauge steel core resists breaking under typical backyard use
• Galvanization protects against oxidation at the metal level
• Black PVC exterior reduces direct exposure to moisture and UV
• Reinforced hexagonal twists help the mesh stay flat after unrolling

What practical uses does this 12" x 50' roll support?

This size is ideal for low fences, garden borders and small-run enclosures where a narrow profile is sufficient. The 1" hex openings are small enough to deter most small pests, keep chickens contained and support lightweight climbing plants.

• Create raised-bed or border fencing around flower beds and vegetables
• Construct chicken runs, rabbit hutches and small-animal pens
• Protect grapevines and young shrubs from nibbling wildlife
• Use as a temporary barrier or as an internal partition in a barn or shed

How easy is it to cut, shape, and install?

The roll’s flat-laying design and double-direction hexagonal twist minimize kinks, making it simple to unroll, trim and fasten. Common wire cutters and fencing staples or zip ties work well; the lightweight nature lets one person manage shorter runs without heavy equipment.

• Trim with standard wire cutters or tin snips for clean edges
• Attach using U-nails, fencing staples or heavy-duty zip ties to posts
• Can be bent by hand for simple shaping around corners or frames
• Keep edges covered or folded to reduce sharp wire exposure

Will the black color affect visibility or garden aesthetics?

The black PVC finish creates a low-profile look that blends into garden beds and natural settings better than shiny metal. Because it’s less reflective, the mesh is discreet from a distance while still providing clear protection close-up.

• Black coating minimizes visual distraction in landscaped areas
• Subtle appearance suits ornamental and vegetable gardens alike
• Works well with wooden posts and natural landscaping materials
• Neutral tone helps hide dirt and weathering over time

Who is this for: MTB Supply PVC Black 20GA poultry netting is made for home gardeners, hobby farmers and anyone building small-animal enclosures who wants an affordable, durable and discreet fencing option. It’s particularly useful for people creating raised bed borders, chicken runs, temporary wildlife barriers or lightweight partitions in sheds. Choose this roll when you need an easy-to-handle, corrosion-resistant mesh that balances strength with a neat, low-visibility finish.
