Shamba 4ft Chicken Wire Mesh
The Shamba 4ft Chicken Wire provides a reliable barrier for poultry management, agricultural containment, and light-duty site applications. This galvanized hexagonal mesh resists corrosion in outdoor environments through a protective zinc coating. It serves as a versatile solution for contractors and farmers requiring a cost-effective fencing material that maintains its shape under moderate tension.
Built for the Job
This fencing material is a staple on Kenyan job sites and farms due to its flexibility and ease of installation. Professionals utilize this mesh for creating secure enclosures that prevent small livestock from escaping while deterring local predators. The 1.2-meter height is specifically chosen to provide sufficient vertical coverage for standard poultry runs and garden perimeters. Beyond livestock, site supervisors often use this wire to reinforce temporary structures or as a substrate for specific plastering and insulation tasks in specialized construction projects.
-
Construction of poultry houses, chicken coops, and rabbit hutches.
-
Protection of young trees and garden beds from foraging animals and pests.
-
Support for climbing plants or as a light-duty reinforcement mesh for lath work.
Product Highlights
- Galvanized Corrosion Resistance
-
The steel wire undergoes a galvanization process to ensure the mesh withstands moisture and oxidation in humid or coastal climates.
- Structural Integrity
-
- Reverse-twist hexagonal weave prevents the mesh from unravelling if a single wire is cut.
- Uniform 25mm aperture size ensures consistent containment across the entire roll length.
- Flexible wire gauge allows for easy shaping around corners and irregular posts without snapping.

On-Site & Workshop Notes
-
When installing against timber posts, use galvanized U-nails every 150mm to ensure the mesh remains taut over time.
-
For long-term outdoor use, ensure the bottom edge of the fencing is buried 150mm deep to prevent burrowing animals from entering the enclosure.
-
Wear protective gloves during handling as the cut edges of the galvanized steel can be sharp.
-
Store rolls upright in a dry area to prevent localized compression or damage to the hexagonal weave before deployment.
