What Is Stainless Steel Chicken Wire Mesh?

• Stainless steel chicken wire mesh, also known as poultry mesh or hexagonal wire netting, is a durable and corrosion-resistant fencing solution used for animal enclosures, crop protection and boundary fencing. Formed into a hexagonal pattern, this flexible yet strong wire mesh is easy to shape around posts, frames and structures while maintaining long-term strength.
• Unlike galvanised chicken wire, stainless steel mesh provides superior resistance to rust and environmental damage. This makes it particularly suitable for outdoor use, damp conditions and coastal environments where galvanised coatings can deteriorate over time.
• This 50m x 900mm roll features a 25mm hexagonal aperture and 0.7mm wire diameter, offering an ideal balance between flexibility and structural strength. It is commonly used for poultry runs, rabbit hutches, garden protection, aviaries and general fencing applications.
• Whether you are installing fencing for agricultural, garden or trade projects, stainless steel chicken wire mesh offers a long-lasting and low-maintenance alternative to standard mild steel netting.

Unlike standard poultry wire, stainless steel chicken wire is ideal for long-term outdoor use and coastal or damp environments.

Why Choose Stainless Steel Over Galvanised?

• Stainless steel chicken wire offers significantly greater resistance to rust and corrosion compared to galvanised mesh.
• In coastal, damp or exposed environments, galvanised coatings can deteriorate over time.
• Stainless steel provides long-term performance without flaking or surface breakdown.

Ideal for:

• Coastal properties

• High moisture areas

• Long-term installations

• Professional and trade use

FAQs

Is stainless steel chicken wire better than galvanised?
Yes. Stainless steel provides superior corrosion resistance and longevity, particularly in outdoor or coastal environments.

Can this be used for chicken runs and poultry enclosures?
Yes. The 25mm hexagonal mesh is suitable for poultry enclosures, garden fencing and animal protection.

Is this suitable for coastal use?
Grade 304 is suitable for general outdoor use. For harsh marine environments, Grade 316 is recommended.
