YARDGARD 1-Inch Poultry Netting 36in x 50ft — 20-Gauge Galvanized Chicken Wire for Garden Protection & Rabbit Pens

This 36‑inch by 50‑foot roll of YARDGARD poultry netting combines lightweight flexibility with a rust‑resistant finish so you can build chicken coops, rabbit pens, garden barriers, and plant supports that last outdoors. The wire is galvanized before weaving to improve corrosion resistance, and the classic 1‑inch hexagonal mesh keeps small animals contained while allowing airflow and visibility. Because the roll bends easily around posts and frames, it suits both quick DIY installs and professional layouts across uneven terrain.

How does this netting hold up outdoors?

The netting uses 20‑gauge steel wire galvanized prior to weaving, which gives it a protective zinc coating that resists moisture and common outdoor corrosion. While not stainless steel, the pre‑galvanized finish extends lifespan for typical farm and garden use when installed upright and kept reasonably maintained.

• 20‑gauge galvanized steel for strength and weather resistance
• Pre‑weave galvanization improves overall rust protection
• Hexagonal 1‑inch mesh maintains shape and reduces sagging
• Best when installed off the ground and inspected seasonally

What can I use this chicken wire for around my property?

YARDGARD poultry netting is versatile: it creates secure enclosures for chickens and rabbits, protects garden beds from small pests, supports climbing plants, and contains compost or mulch while allowing airflow. Its uniform mesh also works for lightweight structural uses like insulation retainers and decorative garden screens.

• Chicken coops, rabbit pens, and temporary animal runs
• Garden bed protection and seedling guards
• Plant trellises and climbing‑vine support
• Compost or storage containment that needs ventilation

How easy is it to install and shape the fencing?

The roll is intentionally flexible and lightweight so you can bend it around posts, frames, and uneven ground without heavy tools. It can be attached with staples, U‑nails, zip ties, or fencing clips; for longer runs use tensioned posts and periodic fasteners to prevent sagging.

• Flexible roll conforms to irregular landscapes and frames
• Compatible with staples, U‑nails, clips, and zip ties
• Add support posts every 4–6 feet for stable runs
• Cut with wire snips or tin snips to size for custom projects

Will the 1‑inch mesh keep small predators out?

The 1‑inch hex mesh is effective at containing poultry and rabbits and preventing small animals from passing through, though it is not heavy‑duty predator fencing on its own. For determined diggers or strong predators, combine the netting with buried skirts, hardware cloth in high‑stress areas, or stronger perimeter fencing.

• Excellent for containing chickens, quail, and small domestic rabbits
• Not a substitute for heavy gauge predator fencing in vulnerable areas
• Pair with buried mesh or additional layering to deter diggers
• Fasten securely and check attachment points regularly

Who this is for: YARDGARD 1‑inch poultry netting suits homeowners, small farmers, and landscapers who need a cost‑effective, rust‑resistant mesh for animal containment, garden protection, or light structural support. Choose this roll if you want a balance of strength, flexibility, and easy installation for routine outdoor projects rather than heavy industrial or high predator applications.
