Chicken Wire — Galvanised & PVC-Coated Mesh Rolls

Rackerman chicken wire is a versatile galvanised wire mesh trusted for poultry runs, garden protection and pest control. Our chicken wire mesh is woven from rust-resistant galvanised steel in a strong hexagonal pattern, so it's light to handle yet tough enough to keep birds in and foxes, rabbits and rats out. Available galvanised or green PVC-coated, in heights from 2ft to 6ft and supplied in 50-metre rolls, it's the go-to chicken wire fence for keepers, growers and smallholders across the UK.

Chicken wire (hexagonal wire netting) is manufactured to BS EN 10223-2 from galvanised mild steel for long outdoor life. The smaller the mesh and the lower the wire gauge number, the stronger and more exclusion-proof the netting:

• 13mm (½") mesh, 22G — fine chicken wire mesh; keeps out rats, mice and small birds.
• 25mm (1") mesh, 20–22G — general poultry and run netting.
• 50mm (2") mesh, 19–20G — light-duty plant, border and tree protection.

Galvanised or PVC-coated: bare galvanised is the workhorse finish; green PVC-coated chicken wire adds extra weather protection and blends into garden settings.

Rabbit-proofing? For burrowing rabbits, choose our dedicated Rabbit Fencing (31mm) range.
