Description

Hexagonal wire mesh is a type of mesh fencing that has hexagonal holes fashioned in it and has many different applications. One of the more common names for hexagonal wire mesh is chicken wire, because the mesh commonly is used as fencing for chicken enclosures and has other farming applications. An industrial purpose for this mesh is sorting, though specialty wire mesh often is needed for this. Arts and crafts also can make use of this wire for forming objects. Perhaps the most common use of hexagonal wire mesh is on farms, specifically with chickens. This wire is affixed to posts to make a fence through which chickens cannot pass; this wire mesh often is inexpensive, so it makes it financially easier for farmers to control where chickens can go. The mesh also can be used to keep out pests by making a fence against them, and it can be wrapped around trees and crops to help them grow and to protect them.
