Hexagonal Mesh Fencing, commonly known as chicken wire, poultry netting, or hex netting, is a woven wire mesh with hexagonal openings designed for agricultural, garden, and general-purpose enclosure use. Made from galvanized or PVC-coated wire, this fencing offers excellent corrosion resistance, flexibility, and adaptability, making it one of the most widely used mesh systems for lightweight containment and protection.
Its woven structure ensures both strength and easy handling, allowing the mesh to be cut, shaped, and installed across flat or uneven terrain, making it suitable for everything from poultry runs to crop protection and temporary animal barriers.
Features

Versatile Usage
Suitable for poultry enclosures, garden borders, plant protection, temporary pens, and reinforcement for plaster or stucco.
