YARDGARD Poultry Netting 1-Inch Mesh, 24 in x 25 ft Roll — 20‑Gauge Galvanized Rust‑Resistant Fence for Chickens & Garden

YARDGARD 1‑inch poultry netting is a 20‑gauge galvanized steel roll designed to contain small animals, protect garden beds, and provide versatile outdoor support with rust-resistant durability.

This flexible hexagonal mesh combines lightweight handling with durable construction so you can build coops, rabbit runs, plant cages, and low garden fences that stand up to weather and everyday use. The wire is galvanized before weaving to improve corrosion resistance, and the 1‑inch openings balance security with air and light flow. Packaged as a 24‑inch by 25‑foot roll, it’s sized for small- to medium-scale projects while remaining simple to cut and shape for irregular layouts.

How does this netting hold up outdoors over time?

The wire is galvanized prior to weaving, which gives consistent coating coverage and extended resistance to rust and moisture. Proper installation—keeping the mesh elevated from persistently wet soil and fastening it taut—will reduce sagging and prolong service life. For coastal or highly corrosive environments, occasional inspection and touch-up with a cold-galvanizing paint can extend longevity.

• Pre-galvanized 20‑gauge steel resists corrosion better than non-galvanized wire
• Hexagonal weave maintains shape and prevents excessive stretching
• Easy to repair or reinforce with common fencing staples and ties

Is this suitable for keeping chickens, rabbits, or other small animals contained?

The 1‑inch mesh spacing is effective for restraining chickens, adult rabbits, and many small birds while allowing visibility and airflow. It’s commonly used as primary fencing for runs, as an inner barrier for larger pens, or as a skirt to deter predators from digging. For larger predators or very small chicks, combine with sturdier posts, buried apron, or hardware cloth where extra protection is needed.

• 1‑inch hex mesh prevents escape by most small animals
• Flexible roll conforms to frames and ground contours for snug enclosures
• Can be doubled or layered for increased predator resistance

How easy is the material to install and modify for garden use?

The netting is lightweight and pliable, making it straightforward to cut with wire snips and attach to posts, stakes, or frames. It can be formed into cones, cylinders, or flat panels to support climbing plants, protect seedlings, or line compost bins. Use common fasteners—staples, hog rings, zip ties, or fencing clips—to secure edges and overlaps for a tidy, durable installation.

• Cuttable with standard wire cutters for custom lengths and shapes
• Bends easily around curves, posts, and corners without special tools
• Works as plant support, erosion control, or material containment

What project ideas work best with this roll size and gauge?

The 24" x 25' roll fits small runs, perimeter patches, raised bed covers, and temporary repairs without excess waste. The 20‑gauge wire is strong enough for regular farm tasks while still manageable for DIYers. For longer fences or heavy predator-proofing, plan on joining multiple rolls and reinforcing with heavier posts.

• Chicken run skirts, rabbit pens, and small animal cages
• Protective covers for raised beds and young trees
• Compost containment, garden trellises, and decorative frameworks

Who is this for: Home gardeners, small‑scale poultry keepers, and hobby farmers who need a versatile, rust‑resistant fencing solution that’s easy to shape and install. Choose YARDGARD 1‑inch poultry netting when you want an economical, lightweight steel mesh for animal containment, plant protection, or general outdoor support without the weight or stiffness of heavier gauges.
