Weld Mesh
« on: February 18, 2011, 21:43 »
Hello all, I was looking at making another chicken coop to keep three more birds and I was wondering what wire gauge would be best (our last run was made using chainlink fencing which someone gave us). I think I've seen something on here before but can't find it or remember where it was. Also could you recommend a decent online supplier. I've had a look on mesh direct and there prices seem good but if there is anything cheaper then thats a bonus.

online supplier - try Hills of Devon, they offer very quick deliver at a good price.
Staffies are softer than you think.

I second that, but can't remember what gauge it was!  Good service though!!

Aviary mesh is usually 1ins X0.5ins (25mm X 13mm) 19 or 16 SWG wire guage.

Thank-you, I knew I had seen it somewhere. Its incredible how cheap they are, I compared it to the website I found and the difference is amazing :blink: Thanks HF for the gauging, I was looking around 16 gauge size. Although I was considering the 1"x1" or possibly the 2"x2" which is what we've got at the minute.

If you go 2 x 2 you may need to up the guage and this won't be rat proof.

i have just brought 2 rolls of weld mesh and a roll of chicken wire from a company called john underwoods.  I found their prices to be the best and i looked for hours and hours.  They delivered within 2 days as well.  They seem to have a big on line spply but if they dont have it on the net ring and they are generally very good at finding you what you want.

Thanks HF, I'm swaying towards the 1 x 1. Thanks Wildy for the suggestion, just compared the prices and Hills of Devon was slightly cheaper, not much in it though.
