Hexagonal wire netting, also known as chicken wire, is crafted through a specific weaving process that yields its characteristic hexagonal pattern. Available in various dimensions, it caters to an array of applications ranging from poultry enclosures and garden fencing to stucco netting in construction and erosion control projects.

Material

• Galvanized Steel: Coated with zinc to prevent rust, ideal for outdoor use.
• PVC-Coated Steel: Steel wire covered with PVC for extra durability and available in different colors, suitable for decorative purposes.
• Stainless Steel: Highly resistant to corrosion and rust, perfect for harsh environments and offers a long lifespan.

Weaving

• Weaving Machine: The machine pulls wire from spools and uses rotating parts to bend the wire into hexagonal shapes.
• Twisting Method: Wires are twisted together at intervals to secure the hexagonal shapes and add strength to the netting.
• Reverse Twisting: In some cases, the twists alternate directions to make the netting more durable and prevent it from unraveling.
