Why Apron Fence Makes Sense

Apron fence is a versatile fencing material with many uses. This high quality Red Brand fence mesh is made in the USA by Keystone Steel and Wire.

Woven from galvanized 17 gauge wire, 1-1/2" hexagonal mesh Apron fence is much heavier and stronger than the normal 20 gauge hex netting sold in retail stores. The extra wire thickness also adds to the expected lifetime of the mesh.

The apron is created by a line wire running the length of each roll. This wire is located 12" from the bottom edge of the fence. During installation, bend the 12" apron so it lays on top of the ground. Vegetation will grow up through the mesh, securing it to the soil.

Apron fence is available in two sizes: 60"x150' (48" high with 12" apron) and 72"x150' (60" high with 12" apron). In addition to the standard GBW finish (Galvanized Before Weave), this fencing material can also be custom coated with a thick layer of black PVC. There are minimum order requirements on these items. Please contact us for details.
