If you have decided you want to use a vinyl coated welded wire mesh for your fence project because of its long lifetime and more attractive appearance, there are several options available to you.

Do you want to use a light weight fence?

Consider using 3"x2" mesh, welded from 16 gauge wire. There are three different heights: 24", 36" and 48". Rolls are 50 feet long. 24" is available in green, 36" and 48" are available in both black and green.

Some of the uses for this light weight fencing: tack it to a wood post and rail fence; keep small dogs in your yard; keep larger animals out of your garden; protect trees and shrubs.

Do you need heavier weight or smaller mesh fencing?vinyl coated welded wire mesh fence

You have more choices: 1"x1" mesh in 16 and 14 gauges; 1-1/2"x1-1/2" mesh in 12-1/2 gauge; 2"x2" and 1-1/2"x4" in 14 gauge; 2"x4" in 14, 12-1/2 and 11 gauges. All, except the 2"x4" 12-1/2 gauge which is available in black only, are available in black and green. 14 gauge 2"x4" rolls are 50" and 100' lengths. Black has become the most popular color to use because it seems to disappear or blend in with the background very well.

These fence meshes can be used for pet containment, children's play areas, yard fence and the 1"x1" and 1-1/2"x4" meshes meet swimming pool fence code requirements.
