- Hidden Costs & Communication Gaps: Unclear pricing structures, poor after-sales service, and technical miscommunication create friction and unexpected expenses.
Engineered for Performance: Technical Specifications of Professional Chicken Wire
Also known as hexagonal wire netting or poultry netting, chicken wire is a versatile galvanized wire mesh. Here, we define quality through measurable parameters and standards.
Primary Materials & Manufacturing Standards
Our products are manufactured with a focus on durability and compliance:
- Base Wire: Low-carbon steel wire (typically Q195 or equivalent), chosen for its balance of strength and formability.
- Galvanization Types:
- Electro-Galvanized (Before Weaving): Provides a basic rust-resistant coating, suitable for indoor or temporary outdoor use.
- Hot-Dip Galvanized (After Weaving): Offers superior corrosion resistance. The zinc coating is thicker and bonded to the wire, making it ideal for long-term outdoor exposure in fencing, poultry runs, and garden applications.
- Key Standards: Production follows relevant international standards such as ASTM A641 for galvanized wire. Factory operations are certified under the ISO 9001:2015 Quality Management System, ensuring consistent process control.
Standard Product Parameters & Selection Guide
| Parameter | Common Options | Typical Application |
|---|---|---|
| Mesh Size (Inch) | 1/2", 1", 2" | 1" is standard for poultry; smaller meshes for rodent exclusion. |
| Wire Gauge (SWG/AWG) | 19G (1.0mm), 20G (0.9mm), 22G (0.7mm) | Heavier gauges (19G) for permanent fencing; lighter for temporary enclosures. |
| Width (Roll) | 0.5m, 1m, 1.2m (Custom widths available) | Defined by end-use, e.g., standard garden bed height vs. poultry fencing. |
| Roll Length | 15m, 30m, 50m (Standard) | Optimized for shipping efficiency and on-site handling. |
Note: All specifications are subject to customization. Final technical parameters and performance characteristics should be confirmed with our technical sales team prior to order placement.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) for Chicken Wire Buyers
Q1: What is the difference between electro-galvanized and hot-dip galvanized chicken wire?
A: Electro-galvanizing applies a thinner zinc coating via an electrical process, offering basic rust protection suitable for indoor or short-term outdoor use. Hot-dip galvanizing involves immersing the woven mesh in molten zinc, creating a thicker, more durable, and longer-lasting coating that is ideal for permanent outdoor applications like poultry fencing and garden enclosures.
Q2: Can you produce chicken wire in stainless steel or other materials?
