YARDGARD 2-Inch Poultry Netting 20-Gauge Galvanized Steel — 36 in. x 150 ft, Rust-Resistant Garden & Chicken Fence

YARDGARD 2‑inch poultry netting is a rust‑resistant 20‑gauge galvanized steel roll designed to contain small animals and protect gardens while remaining flexible for DIY fencing and plant support.

This heavy‑duty hexagonal wire mesh comes in a 36‑inch by 150‑foot roll and delivers long‑lasting outdoor performance thanks to a galvanized coating applied before weaving. It balances strength and pliability so you can build chicken runs, rabbit pens, garden borders, trellises, or repair tasks with minimal tools. The 2‑inch openings offer good visibility and airflow while keeping poultry and small animals secure.

How does this netting perform as a fence for chickens and rabbits?

The 2‑inch hexagonal weave holds small livestock reliably without adding excessive weight. Its 20‑gauge wires provide a sturdy barrier that resists sagging when properly supported by posts or a frame.

• 20‑gauge galvanized steel for season‑long durability
• 2‑inch openings sized for poultry and small mammals
• 36 in. height gives adequate coverage for standard enclosures
• 150 ft. length covers large perimeters or multiple projects

Can I use this netting in the garden and on plants?

Yes — the flexible mesh is often used as a protective border around beds, to keep critters out, or as a support for climbing plants. It can be wrapped around young trees, used as a temporary barrier, or fashioned into trellises for beans and vines.

• Lightweight and easy to shape for custom garden layouts
• Allows sunlight and water through while deterring pests
• Works well for compost bins and protective tree wraps
• Can be cut to size with wire snips for precise fits

What makes the galvanized finish important for outdoor use?

The netting is galvanized prior to weaving, which helps the steel resist corrosion from moisture and weather exposure. That coating extends the service life of the mesh and reduces the need for frequent replacement or maintenance.

• Galvanized before weaving for consistent corrosion protection
• Withstands wet conditions better than non‑coated wire
• Retains structural integrity under normal outdoor stresses
• Minimal upkeep — occasional inspections and tightened supports

How easy is it to install and modify for DIY projects?

The roll’s flexibility and manageable weight make it simple to cut, bend, and fasten with common tools. Whether you’re stapling to wooden posts, tying to metal stakes, or forming temporary enclosures, installation is straightforward for hobbyists and homeowners.

• Cut with standard wire snips or bolt cutters
• Attach using staples, zip ties, or fencing clips
• Conforms to curved or angled frames without special hardware
• Ideal for one‑person installations on small to medium projects

Who is this best suited for? YARDGARD 2‑inch poultry netting is aimed at backyard farmers, gardeners, and homeowners who need a versatile, long‑lasting wire mesh for animal enclosures, garden protection, plant support, or repair jobs. It’s well suited for those who want a balance of durability and flexibility — people building chicken coops, rabbit hutches, vegetable bed barriers, trellises, or temporary fencing will find it practical and cost‑effective. If you require taller or heavier livestock fencing, consider pairing this netting with sturdier posts and additional reinforcement for larger animals.
