Galvanized Hexagonal Wire Netting
Galvanized hexagonal wire netting is a twisted steel wire mesh with hexagonal openings, also known as galvanized chicken wire or poultry netting. This hot-dip galvanized steel family is intended for poultry enclosures, chicken coops and garden protection. Send the required opening, wire diameter, roll dimensions and coating requirements to confirm the specification and request a quote.
FOB reference price from $1.50 / m². Varies by spec and quantity; final quote on inquiry.

Poultry Enclosures and Garden Fencing
Consider this galvanized chicken wire family for poultry cages, chicken coop mesh and light garden boundaries. Choose the opening and wire size for the intended enclosure, then confirm the supporting frame, fixings and exposure conditions. A product name alone does not establish animal containment or predator resistance.

Hot-Dip Galvanized Steel and Twisted Mesh Construction
Specify the Coating Route Around Weaving
Hexagonal wire netting is formed by twisting wires together rather than resistance-welding a square grid. For this hot-dip galvanized steel family, establish whether the order requires galvanizing before weaving (GBW) or galvanizing after weaving (GAW). GBW uses wire coated before the netting is formed; GAW coats the fabricated netting. These terms describe the production sequence, not a guaranteed zinc mass, service life or certification. Record the agreed route and coating acceptance requirements in the purchase order.
The material family is hot-dip galvanized steel. Base-wire grade, zinc-coating requirements and supporting inspection documents need to be agreed for the order; no alloy composition is declared here.
Define the Netting Before Comparing Quotes
- Hexagonal opening:Specify the nominal opening, units and measurement direction on a drawing or agreed sample. A catalog mesh-count designation alone does not define a hexagonal cell, and dimensions measured in different directions must not be treated as interchangeable.
- Wire diameter:State the diameter in millimetres and whether it refers to the base wire or finished coated wire. If a gauge number is used, name the gauge system and provide the equivalent diameter to avoid ambiguity.
- Twists and edges:Agree the twist construction, edge or selvedge treatment and any reinforcement requirement. Use an approved drawing or sample to define what will be checked on the delivered roll.
- Roll format:Include roll width, length, quantity and packing requirements. State handling limits and the measurement condition for the netting so suppliers quote against the same dimensional basis.
Hexagonal Netting RFQ and Acceptance Checklist
Use this checklist to agree the order specification, rather than applying a woven square-mesh tolerance table. BS EN 10223-2:2012 addresses hexagonal steel netting for agricultural, insulation and fencing purposes; ASTM A390 covers galvanized poultry fence fabric, including hexagonal poultry netting. These are scope references, not a declaration that this product meets either standard. Confirm the applicable edition, acceptance limits and required evidence before ordering.
| Check item | Measurement or process basis | Specify in the order | Evidence to request |
|---|---|---|---|
| Galvanizing sequence | Hot-dip galvanizing before or after weaving | GBW or GAW, with the agreed process description | Supplier process declaration tied to the order |
| Hexagonal opening | Agreed opening dimension and measuring direction | Nominal size, units, tolerance and measuring condition | Dimensioned drawing, approved sample and opening measurements |
| Wire diameter and edges | Base or finished coated wire; mesh and edge wire distinguished | Diameter, tolerance, twist construction and selvedge requirement | Micrometer readings and edge-detail inspection record |
| Zinc coating | Coating mass or thickness using the agreed method | Coating requirement, sampling locations and acceptance limit | Order-specific report; ASTM A90/A90M for coating mass when applicable |
| Roll dimensions and packing | Width and length under the agreed measuring condition | Roll size, quantity, dimensional tolerances and packing instructions | Measured roll record, labels and packing list |
