Agricultural Protective Gabion Mesh

Agricultural protective chain link fencing is a type of metal mesh made using a weaving process, widely used in the agricultural sector.

Material

• Steel Wire: Common types include high-quality low-carbon steel wire and galvanized steel wire. Galvanized steel wire is further divided into electro-galvanized and hot-dip galvanized, with the latter offering superior corrosion resistance. Additionally, stainless steel wire and aluminum alloy wire are used. Stainless steel wire provides excellent corrosion resistance and strength, while aluminum alloy wire is lightweight and corrosion-resistant.
• Plastic-Coated Material: To further enhance the weather resistance and aesthetics of the chain link fencing, PVC or PE materials are often used to coat the steel wire. The thickness of the plastic coating generally ranges from 0.1mm to 0.5mm.

Specifications

• Mesh Size: Common specifications include 2cm×2cm, 3cm×3cm, and 4cm×4cm. Customization is available based on the size and needs of the protected objects. For example, smaller mesh sizes can be used for raising small poultry, while slightly larger mesh sizes are suitable for orchard protection.
• Wire Diameter: Ranging from 1mm to 7mm, thicker wire diameters provide higher strength. The appropriate wire diameter can be selected based on the required level of protection.
• Dimensions: Widths can range from 0.5 to 6 meters, and lengths from 4 to 50 meters. Custom sizes are also available based on customer requirements.

Features

• Good Flexibility: The chain link fencing, made using a weaving process, offers a certain degree of flexibility, allowing it to adapt to varying terrains. When installed on complex terrains such as slopes or hills, it conforms better to the ground, reducing the risk of deformation or breakage.
• Corrosion and Rust Resistance: Through surface treatments like galvanization or plastic coating, the corrosion resistance of the mesh is significantly improved. It can be used outdoors for extended periods without rusting, extending its service life and making it suitable for various harsh agricultural environments.
• Easy Installation: The mesh can be cut as needed and installed by welding, bolting, or directly tying it to posts. The installation process is simple and efficient, significantly reducing both time and costs.
• Good Permeability: The uniform mesh and flat surface ensure excellent permeability, which does not interfere with sunlight or ventilation in agricultural settings. For instance, when used in orchard protection, it does not adversely affect the growth of fruit trees.

Applications

• Livestock and Poultry Fencing: Used to enclose areas for raising poultry and livestock such as chickens, ducks, geese, rabbits, and sheep. It isolates the breeding area from the outside, preventing animals from escaping while also keeping wild animals out, ensuring the safety of the livestock.
• Orchard Protection Netting: Installed around orchards to prevent birds, rabbits, and other animals from entering and damaging fruits or trees. It safeguards the growth and maturation of fruits, reducing agricultural losses.
• Aquaculture Cages: Can be fashioned into aquaculture cages for raising fish, shrimp, and other aquatic products. It offers good breathability and water flow, promoting the growth of aquatic products while facilitating management and harvesting.
• Agricultural Facility Protection: Also used to protect agricultural facilities such as greenhouses and sheds from damage caused by natural disasters like strong winds and hail. It also provides some level of pest control.
