Chicken Wire
Chicken Wire Fencing
Safe, Durable, and Practical
Chicken wire fencing is a versatile and essential solution for safely containing poultry, protecting crops, and creating secure barriers for small animals. Lightweight yet strong, this fencing is designed to be easy to handle while providing long-lasting performance in outdoor environments.
Whether you are a farmer, smallholding owner, or hobby gardener, chicken wire fencing offers a practical, flexible, and cost-effective way to manage your land, protect your animals, and safeguard crops from pests and predators.
Built for Strength & Safety
Our chicken wire fencing is manufactured from hot-dipped galvanised steel, offering excellent resistance to rust and corrosion. The classic hexagonal mesh pattern allows the fencing to be flexible and easy to shape, making it ideal for a range of uses, from permanent poultry enclosures to temporary garden barriers.
The design is animal-safe, with gaps that prevent heads or limbs from becoming trapped while still keeping chickens securely contained. Despite its lightweight construction, the fencing is robust enough to withstand the impact of unwanted predators, such as foxes, making it a practical choice for both domestic and agricultural environments.
All rolls comply with BS 443 EN 10223-2, ensuring a reliable standard of quality and durability.
Sizes & Specifications
Our chicken wire fencing is available in two heights: 900mm and 1200mm, with each roll measuring 50 metres in length. These manageable rolls are easy to transport, store, and install, allowing you to fit them quickly around posts or existing fencing. The galvanised finish ensures a long-lasting silver appearance and excellent outdoor performance.

Installation Guidance
Chicken wire fencing can be fitted to timber posts, steel stakes, or existing fencing structures using staples, wire ties, or clips. For uneven ground, the flexible mesh contours easily, helping prevent gaps at the base.
For added security against burrowing animals, you can fold the wire at ground level or partially bury it. Its lightweight design ensures that installation is quick, safe, and manageable without heavy machinery.
