These galvanised welded mesh panels are made from strong 12 Gauge wire with 50mm square holes, giving a large rigid mesh panel suitable for fencing, animal runs, dog enclosures, garden barriers, cages, partitions and general outdoor projects.
The 8ft x 4ft panel size provides strong coverage for larger fencing and enclosure jobs. The 50mm hole size gives a more open mesh appearance than 25mm panels, making it suitable where visibility, airflow and general containment are more important than very small openings.
Galvanised Welded Mesh Panel Overview
This 8ft x 4ft welded mesh panel is designed for projects where a large rigid mesh sheet is more suitable than flexible mesh roll. The welded construction helps the panel hold its shape during installation and provides a solid surface for fixing to frames, posts and supports.
The 50mm hole size is commonly used for general fencing, animal runs, garden enclosures and outdoor barrier projects.
Panel Size
Panel size: 8ft x 4ft, approximately 2.44m x 1.22m.
This larger panel size is useful for covering bigger areas, reducing joins and speeding up installation on larger projects.
Hole Size and Wire Gauge
Hole size: 50mm square holes.
Wire gauge: 12 Gauge, also commonly written as 12G.
The 50mm opening provides a more open mesh design, while the 12 Gauge wire gives the panel good rigidity for fencing, enclosures and general outdoor use.
Common Uses
- Dog runs
- Animal enclosures
- Garden fencing
- Chicken pens
- Outdoor barriers
- Gate and frame inserts
- Garden protection
- Workshop and shed partitions

Galvanised Finish
The galvanised finish helps protect the steel from rust and weathering, making the panel suitable for external use in gardens, yards, farms, workshops and general outdoor projects.
For coastal, wet or highly exposed environments, extra protection or regular inspection may be required.
Cutting and Installation
The panel can be cut using suitable metal cutting tools. Cut edges may expose bare steel and should be protected with a suitable zinc-rich coating if the panel is used outdoors.
It can be fixed to timber posts, steel frames, gate frames, fencing posts or other suitable supports depending on the installation.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the 50mm 8x4 mesh panel used for?
Site fencing, dog runs, larger garden fencing, security screens, gabion construction, tree guards, general enclosures and agricultural penning.
How rigid is the 8x4 50mm panel?
12-gauge (2.5mm) welded wire gives a rigid panel that holds its shape when fixed between posts. It does not sag like chain link or woven mesh.
Can 8x4 panels be used for gabion baskets?
Yes. Welded mesh panels can be cut and joined to form gabion cages, though purpose-made gabion baskets with internal bracing are better for structural retaining walls.
How many panels do I need for a fence run?
Divide the total run length by the panel width (1220mm / 1.22m). For a 10m fence run, you need approximately 8-9 panels plus posts.
Can the panels be powder coated?
Yes. The galvanised surface accepts powder coating well for a coloured, decorative finish — green and black are common for garden and security fencing.
