Hexagonal Wire Mesh
Hexagonal mesh, also known as chicken wire, is a type of woven wire mesh produced by twisting metal wires into continuous hexagonal openings. This special weaving structure provides excellent flexibility and strength, allowing the mesh to maintain integrity even when individual wires are damaged.
Material Options
Hexagonal mesh is available in multiple materials to meet different application needs, including:
-
Low carbon steel wire
-
Electro galvanized wire
-
Hot-dip galvanized wire
-
PVC coated wire
Key Features
-
Hexagonal opening structure with high flexibility
-
Strong twisting joints, resistant to loosening
-
Good corrosion resistance (especially galvanized and PVC coated types)
-
Lightweight and easy to install
-
Mesh does not unravel easily when cut
