Frequently Asked Questions
-
Q: Is this mesh suitable for chickens?
A: Yes, the 1" x 1/2" opening is ideal for chickens, including chicks, as it prevents them from escaping while keeping predators out. The 16 gauge wire is strong enough to withstand pecking and weather. -
Q: Can this mesh be used underwater or in wet environments?
A: The galvanized coating provides good resistance to moisture, but for prolonged underwater or highly corrosive environments, we recommend using hot-dip galvanized or PVC-coated mesh. Please consult us for specific applications. -
Q: How do I cut and install the mesh?
A: You can cut the mesh with heavy-duty wire cutters or an angle grinder. Wear gloves to avoid sharp edges. Install using staples, clips, or tie wires to wooden or metal posts. Smooth edges are available for safer handling. -
Q: What is the difference between hot-dip and electro-galvanized?
A: Hot-dip galvanizing provides a thicker zinc coating (≥120 g/m²) and better rust resistance, making it ideal for outdoor use. Electro-galvanizing has a thinner coating (≥30 g/m²) and is more suitable for indoor or dry environments. We can supply either type based on your needs. -
Q: Do you offer sample rolls?
A: Yes, we provide sample pieces (e.g., 1ft x 1ft) or small rolls for testing. Please contact us to discuss sample requirements and shipping costs. -
Q: What is the minimum order quantity for custom sizes?
A: For standard sizes, the minimum order quantity is typically 10 rolls. For fully customized dimensions, MOQ may vary. Please contact our sales team for details. -
Q: How long does delivery take?
A: For standard products, production takes 7-15 days after order confirmation, plus shipping time depending on destination. We can expedite for urgent orders upon request. -
Q: Is this mesh safe for rabbits?
A: Yes, the 1" x 1/2" opening prevents rabbits from sticking their heads through, and the smooth edge option minimizes injury risk. We recommend using an edge trim or PVC coating for extra safety.
