  • Keeps small animals out. 1/2 in mesh openings block small animals while light, air and water pass through.
  • Coated at the joints. Hot-dip galvanized after welding, so the zinc covers the joints as well as the strands.
  • Easy to cut and shape. 19 gauge wire holds a line between posts yet cuts and bends with hand tools.
  • Welded for rigidity. Wires are welded at every intersection, so the barrier holds its shape once fastened.

Fifty Feet Of Two Foot Skirting

A roll of welded hardware cloth that gives a garden bed or a small animal run a rigid barrier, one that holds its shape once it is fastened in place.

The roll stands 24 in tall and runs 50 ft long, a height suited to raised bed skirting, low borders, run walls, compost bin sides and window well covers.

Half inch openings are tight enough to stop the animals that slip through wider fencing, while light, air and water still pass straight through.

Galvanized After The Welding

Wires are welded at every intersection, and the finished sheet is hot-dip galvanized after that welding step, so the zinc coating covers the joints as well as the strands.

The order matters outdoors, because weld points on material coated before welding tend to be the first places to corrode.

At 19 gauge, the sheet stays stiff enough to hold a line between posts, yet stays workable enough to cut and bend with hand tools.

Unroll, Cut, Fasten, Wear Gloves

Unroll the material along the run you want to enclose, cut it to length with aviation snips or bolt cutters, then fasten it to wood frames with staples or to metal posts with ties. Wear gloves, since cut ends stay sharp.

The 24 in width also rolls into cylinders for tree guards and plant cages, or buries at the base of an enclosure as a below-grade skirt.

Keep any leftover roll stored dry and out of the weather.

Use aviation snips or bolt cutters, and wear gloves because cut ends stay sharp.
How do I fasten it in place
