Hammer Galvanized Steel Chicken Wire, 1/2-Inch Mesh, 30m Roll

Galvanized Steel Chicken Wire

The Hammer Galvanized Steel Chicken Wire is a versatile, high-tensile mesh solution designed for agricultural, construction, and residential containment requirements. Manufactured from low-carbon steel wire that undergoes a hot-dipped galvanization process, this mesh provides a durable barrier against oxidation and environmental wear. The 1/2-inch hexagonal aperture is specifically sized to exclude small predators while maintaining structural flexibility for contouring around uneven terrain or internal architectural frames.

Built for the Job

This wire mesh serves as a primary material for both outdoor fencing and internal structural reinforcement. In agricultural settings, the narrow 12.7mm spacing prevents juvenile poultry from escaping and keeps small rodents out of feed areas. Beyond fencing, site supervisors frequently utilize this material as a lath for plastering and stucco applications. The hexagonal weave allows the mesh to absorb mechanical stress, which prevents surface cracking in cement-based finishes. Its flexibility makes it suitable for wrapping around timber or steel columns to provide a key for decorative finishes or fireproofing materials.

• Construction of poultry runs, rabbit hutches, and bird aviaries.

• Reinforcement of plaster, mortar, and screed in specialized masonry work.

• Protection of garden beds and young saplings from foraging animals.

Product Highlights

Corrosion Resistance

The wire is hot-dipped in zinc after the weaving process to ensure all joints and twists are fully coated against moisture.

Structural Integrity

• Double-twisted hexagonal weave prevents unravelling if a single wire is cut.
• Consistent 1/2-inch aperture maintains uniform tension across the entire 30-meter length.

Technical Specifications

What’s Included

• 1 x 30m Roll of Galvanized Steel Chicken Wire (1/2″ Mesh)

On-Site & Workshop Notes

• Always use heavy-duty wire snips or side cutters for clean edges and to prevent wire deformation during sizing.

• When using this material for plaster lathing, ensure it is stretched taut and secured with U-staples every 150mm to prevent sagging.

• Store rolls upright in a dry area to prevent compression of the mesh layers before installation.

• Wear protective gloves during handling to avoid puncture injuries from the exposed wire ends at the roll edges.
