YARDGARD Rabbit & Garden Welded Wire Fence, 28 in x 50 ft, 16‑Gauge PVC‑Coated

The YARDGARD 28-inch by 50-foot vinyl-coated welded wire fence is a lightweight, durable barrier designed to keep rabbits and small pests out of garden beds, trees, and landscaped areas.

Built from 16‑gauge galvanized steel with a green PVC coating, this roll of welded wire fencing combines weather resistance with a discrete appearance that blends into lawns and planting areas. Its progressive mesh narrows from 4 inches at the top to 1 inch at the bottom so small animals are blocked where they try to enter, while the larger upper openings let you reach through for planting or pruning without removing the fence. The roll’s 28‑inch height and 50‑foot length suit small to medium plots and make temporary or semi‑permanent installations fast and manageable for DIY gardeners and landscape professionals alike.

How does the fence stop rabbits without blocking gardener access?

The mesh is purposefully graduated: wider openings at the top for hand access and tighter spacing near the ground where rabbits attempt to squeeze through. That design balances protection with convenience so you can maintain plants and harvest easily.

• 4-inch top spacing for hand access and airflow
• 2-inch midsection for added pest resistance
• 1-inch bottom spacing to prevent small intruders
• Vinyl coating allows comfortable handling during planting or repairs

What materials and construction give this fence long-term performance?

This fencing uses welded 16‑gauge steel wire that’s zinc coated and finished with a green PVC layer for corrosion resistance and a natural look. The welded intersections add rigidity so the fence holds shape while remaining flexible enough to form curves and secure to stakes.

• Galvanized steel resists rust and weathering
• PVC coating extends lifespan and reduces visibility in gardens
• Welded joints increase structural strength
• Lightweight roll simplifies transport and installation

How do I install and use it around plants, trees, and beds?

Installation is straightforward: unroll the fence, place stakes or posts at regular intervals, and attach the wire with ties or staples. For shallow-burrowing animals, sink a short skirt or bury the bottom edge a few inches to deter digging, or fasten to stakes for a removable protective ring around vulnerable areas.

• Use wood or metal stakes spaced 2–4 feet apart for stability
• Fasten with galvanized staples, zip ties, or wire ties
• Optionally bury 3–4 inches of the bottom edge to block digging
• Trim with wire cutters for custom lengths and shapes

Will this fencing work for other garden pests or tasks?

While optimized for rabbits and similar small animals, the fence also helps protect young shrubs, tree trunks, and newly set plantings from nibbling and trampling. It’s a flexible solution for border definition, temporary enclosures, and light structural support for climbing annuals.

• Guards seedlings, bulbs, and low shrubs from small mammals
• Create temporary animal pens or compost enclosures
• Use as a support framework for light vine crops
• Trim to form curbs or edging for pathways and beds

This YARDGARD welded wire fence is best for gardeners, homeowners, and landscapers seeking an unobtrusive, easy-to-install barrier to protect small to medium planting areas. If you need a discrete, long‑lasting solution that allows routine access while blocking rabbits and other small pests, this 28-inch by 50-foot roll provides practical coverage and flexible installation choices for season‑by‑season garden protection.
