Our heavy-duty Chicken Wire is engineered to deliver exceptional corrosion and rot resistance, suitable for both above-ground and buried installations. Available in two robust options, galvanized and stainless steel, this product ensures durability and reliability.

Galvanized Steel Option
Double Galvanization: The wire is galvanized twice—once before weaving and hot-dipped after weaving—resulting in an ultra-durable finish.
Lifespan: Boasts an estimated lifespan of 7-12+ years, even when buried, providing long-term protection against the elements.

Stainless Steel Option
Superior Durability: Made from T-304 / 18-8 stainless steel, this option offers the highest level of durability.
Lifespan: With an estimated lifespan of 12+ years, it excels in wet and moist environments, making it ideal for challenging conditions.

Key Features
Mesh Size: 3/4” openings for versatile applications.
Roll Dimensions: Available in 5’ x 100’ rolls for easy handling and installation.
Corrosion Resistance: Both options provide outstanding resistance to corrosion and environmental damage.

HOW IS OUR WIRE MESH DIFFERENT?

Our wire mesh has undergone a very specific manufacturing process which provides the mesh with extreme resistance to breakdown when exposed to moisture.

Our mesh is so moisture resistant that it can even be buried underground for years without breakdown.

What About Moles?

Although Gopher Block® is not specifically designed to prevent mole intrusion, we have had customers that have installed it for this application and the gopher wire has proved effective at deterring moles from tunneling into landscape and lawn areas.

"After tilling and clearing the loam from our yard, I installed the gopher wire roll. I then applied another 6 inches of topsoil/compost and then laid 1,800 square feet of zeon zoysia sod. The gopher wire roll is an incredible product and in my mind worth every penny. I have already seen the results. There is an adjacent section where our yard meets the neighbors yard. Given the frequent watering/worms, etc. our yard has become an attractive site for moles. Well, our yard has been perfectly protected from the moles, and our neighbors yard is full of new holes and tunnels. They just cannot seem to penetrate the wire roll. The quality is also impressive. Does not even compare to the junk available at “unnamed big box” hardware store (trust me, I looked!) Anyway, here are several photos of the installation process and the final product. "
