YARDGARD 308418A Fence, 150 feet, Color - Galvanized

The gauge of this chicken wire was very sturdy. Good product

Good product, good price

This is nice, light, easy to work with chicken wire. It is 20-gauge wire, so even the 150 ft roll is manageable by one person. We have 500 feet of fencing around our garden and orchard. It is 8 ft high and goes 2 feet into the dirt to stop the diggers. It has strands of electrified wire as well. The fence does a good job of keeping out wildlife, from 600lb bull elks, down to diggers like skunks and rabbits.However, the fence of welded wire was not keeping out the various ground squirrels around here (mountains of Arizona) -- they just step over the lowest electric wire and come right through the fence. They took most of the fruit off a couple of trees before I realized I had to secure the bottom 2 feet of the fence. If they have to climb, there's another electric strand they will contact, and the shock will drive them away. So I'm adding this Yardgard "chicken" mesh to the bottom portion of the fence. It has to conform to the existing heavier wire fencing, so it's good that this product is light and flexible. Where required -- where there's a "wow" in the fencing -- I use a pair of needle-nose pliers to tighten the mesh by twisting each 1-inch opening, in a vertical line, until I have taken up the slack. Repeat this process wherever needed.It's important to look at the size of the openings in the mesh. This is 1" octagons. This will stop everything but the smallest field mice. Some similar fencing has openings 2-inches big. That would let in larger rats and so on, so isn't suitable for my purpose.I fasten the chicken wire to the welded wire with 8" nylon zip ties. If you do something similar, buy the best nylon, UV protected zips you can get. I use 8" zips and simply cut off the excess once attached.The wire is galvanized and comes bright silver. This oxidizes and fades over time, so the chicken wire is much less obvious.Good price for 150 feet. Recommended.

I attached T posts to heighten my wood fence by 2 feet. I then attached this plastic poultry wire to it. I did it to try to keep the neighborhood cats, squirrels, possums, raccoons and now urban grey foxes out of our backyard. So far, it seems to mostly work with the squirrels, possums and cats. One raccoon has scaled it. The urban grey foxes don’t try to scale it, but they can easily walk fence lines like a squirrel. So they will scale my neighbors’ fence, walk on top of it, and then jump into our backyard from another location. The foxes hunt and catch small game like mice, rats, and squirrels. I know since I’ve seen it in the fox’s mouth on my ring camera.

This is a roll of 1inch hole chicken wire made of galvanized metal. I wanted this, not plastic, as rodents can't gnaw the metal so easily. It is in good condition but the ends were a little tangled from being folded over to make a neat roll. I was going to make a veggie cage, but I should have gotten smalerl holes, as squirrels and other rodents can easily pass through this size. However, it is useful, to keep the dogs and cats from digging in my new good potting soil tray. I cut the roll stock in half, bent over the cut ends and let it "spring" hold onto the tray. It's a handy product for small projects right at home so I don't get stuck at the dyi center behind the guy rebuilding his personal airport with 5 carts of stuff, while I just have a ticket to get a coil of 10ft of chickenwire cut to pay for. I didn't put 5 stars, because I was a little cranky wrestling the folded over part at both ends somewhat straight again. Once that was untangled, I could flatten out the rest of it easily enough.

I own a retail store and we nailed this to the walls of our store to display items without having to put a ton of holes in the walls. I realize this is a non-traditional use for chicken wire but it works incredibly well. It is surprisingly attractive, and the metal reflects light which also helps in the display space. We also coiled lengths of it into display stands for jewelry. As for the product itself, being a city girl, I don't have much experience with chicken wire but it's surprisingly strong. It arrived via FedEx with Prime shipping in two days. We ordered several rolls. It definitely takes two people to work with it if you're doing something as detailed as we did. It's not like hanging wallpaper. I think it's a remarkably versatile and functional product.

Great weight and stiffness for sturdy plant cages. Cuts easily with wire cutters. Our new landscaping plants required protection from munching rabbits and “playful” squirrels. I make an appropriate size cage and anchor it with landscaping pins. This height was perfect for new hydrangeas and rhododendrons. I sometimes cut it in half to make shorter cages for bedding plants or in the veggie garden. I’ve used this product for years but can no longer find it locally. I was so glad to find it here. I’ve used 3 rolls of it so far this year and will buy more as I need it. It lasts for several years.The green color hides the cages in plain sight.However, I think it’s too expensive to use as a garden enclose.

I decided this year to put chicken wire around the perimeter of my garden. I had netting in place but the squirrels and someone with a trimmer kept putting holes in the bottom. I want to say when I received this it was very well packaged and not all bent up like a prior purchase from a local store. We were able to dig a small trench and bury this fencing down in the ground and staple it to our posts easily. This being the first year it's in I won't know how well it will hold up. I'm happy with it and the squirrels are not!
