20 Best Wire For Chicken Run (2023 Updated)

This poultry netting worked fine for what I was doing with it, which was covering a a water drain grate to keep large leaves and sticks from going in the drain. It was very affordable for my purpose.

It was very difficult to unpackage and is not what I think is strong enough to use for poultry unless it is attached to a wooden frame that has no large open areas to cover. I suggest a stronger gauge wire for security of your poultry.

The Yardgard poultry netting 2 x 10 ft 2 in mesh was average. It was very intertwined on both ends of the roll making if difficult to roll out and it was a bit shy of the complete 2 x 10 ft. However I have found that to be the case with a number of hardware type items.

All in all it did the job I wanted if to do once I finally received it.

Just needed a small amount of chicken wire for a garden project. This amount ( and price) were perfect, picked up at store while getting other stuff. Easy & just what I wanted.

We love this chicken wire. We’ve used it for years and it holds up better then the rest. Even the the squirrels on our farm trying to get to the chicken feed have a hard time getting through! We wouldn’t buy another brand.

The price is on point and with all the different size options, no project is to big or small.

Works as it should but the packaging is terrible! First, good luck finding the end of the wire that is used to wrap it up. Why isn’t it on one end or right in the middle with paint on it or bent in a way to make it obvious and easy to find.

Instead its just tucked in under all the other wraps of wire. Issue 2, they fold the corners in a weird way like a double 45 or something and it makes it a major pain to straighten so that the end is attached straight.

Why bend it at all??.

bought two rolls, needed all 100 feet to complete project, ended up with both ends on both rolls being mangled and not usable. lost a total of eight feet of fencing forcing me to purchase another 25 roll to enclose that eight feet that I lost.

one roll also had a 24 in. x 3′ hole in the middle of the roll. suggest looking beyond Vietnam for your products. wasn’t worth the difference in price between you and your competitor. won’t buy this product again!.

We did a lot of searching for hardware cloth. BCP beat EVERYONE’S price! By a lot! Plus free shipping and a 10% off coupon for being a new customer! AND we had it in 2 days! Awesome buying experience all around!.

We tried so hard to locate this at stores in our area. We drove to one location over 100 miles because we were told on the phone they had it. None! It worked out perfectly to order this, get it quickly, and enlarge our coop.

We are very happy and so are the hens.

We installed this hardware cloth on the exterior of our poultry pen. It was very good quality, strong yet some flexibility This is perfect for keeping critters away from my chickens

I gave the chicken run 3 stars because the gate needs to be sturdier. If you barley pick up on the gate to open it it falls of the hinges. And I wish the chicken wire was smaller. If you have chicks you need to make sure they can’t fit through the holes.

Big chickens will be ok in this just not for small chicks. But I do love how the chicken wire is coated with green so it’s not as sharp and how it stretches across the bars pretty easy. You will probably need at least 2 people to put it together specially to help stretch the wire.

You will aslo have extra chicken wire when you are finished which is always nice. !!!!AND DONT FORGET TO BUY EXTRA ZIP TIES before you put your chicken in the enclosure!!!!.

We are very happy with this chicken cage. It gave our chickens so much more room to move. Product went together pretty easy. I would however suggest much better zip ties, as the ones that come with the product are basically worthless.

They are not strong at all. We got the smallest cage as we dont have a very large yard. This size is perfect. My chicken coop fit into the cage, nicely. Very happy with this purchase. I used fencing stakes on the corners to secure the frame in case of windy days.

I am very satisfied with this purchase. After reading a lot of reviews, I chose this one, which is very solid. The seller’s service is great! We had a small accident while assembling, and the seller quickly solved it for us! We have a lot of praise for this chicken coop! Value for money.

It arrived earlier than planned, everything is there, everything is great! The product is great value for money. This is the easiest assembly ever! ! ! But extremely strong. Very suitable for chicken safety all day! I will buy again.

I wish there were better instructions provided with this run. Also, I purchased the coop connector kit as well and that came with no instructions at all. What I found is that 1) holes were not drilled in the metal connector pieces and 2) the wood screws that they provided for those pieces obviously didn’t work.

This was a big miss on their part. I’m not sure if overez and rugged ranch are part of the same company or not, but I am really impressed with overez coops, but they really fall short on quality when it comes to the rugged ranch runs.

The other thing that made no sense to me was that the spacing in the wire increases as you go up the barely 4 foot run walls. Why skimp on this? It wouldn’t take much for a predator to crawl up this little wall and possibly get in.

I know we are only talking snakes and maybe weasles, but for the price of these runs, the small holes should have extended all the way up the wall. Another big miss in my opinion. I did appreciate the overall ease in assembly as compared to building your own, which I have also done.

Its a pain in the rear to assemble without a second person. The assembling is fairly easy to understand. I dont how secure it will be but I bought it for chickens but its too hot for chicks. I put my puppy in there for potty training right now and he cant breech the metal Hes a half pitbull/ half pug.

Im really pleased with it thus far. Its heavy after you assemble it, think 3 or 4 people to move it. The pen will definetly never blow away. I have no complaints. The delivery will be a liftgate semi truck carrier and the pen will come strapped well onto a very large pallet.

All the parts were there and it didnt take me long to put it together by myself, would have taken half the time if I had help. This pen would be great for 12 chickens, 1 turkey, or a couple of hyper active puppies.

I am a 49 year old woman. I was able to put the unit together by myself in about 2 hours. The box said 15 minutes, but that must have been the assembly time for 8 people working together! It is well-made, heavy enough to not have to worry about being knocked over, and a good size.

I can get into the pen bent over without a problem. I also bought the canvas top for it to supply shade for my birds, and it fit perfectly. The only disappointment was that the opening for the hutch left gaps on either side with the hutch in position, and there is no way to actually attach it with hardware.

I am going to have to rig something up with chicken wire. my birds are still relatively small. If this were not the case, I would give it 5 stars.

Needed this as a replacement pea fence, not for chickens, lol. Its just the right size and when strung between two cedar posts, makes a great fence for peas to climb up. We use as a permanent structure in the garden, (old one lasted over 10 years) just hoe alongside fence each spring and drop peas in on both sides.

Quick and easy.

We bought it for under our wooden fence because we had so many mice and moles digging under. so we dug a foot under the fence and put the checkered small chicken wire so no mice can get through (make sure it is the small checkered one) and then we stapled the wire with a staple gun to the wooden fence as much as we wanted everywhere high and low and making sure we caught it in between the wires.

then we placed rocks and old cement and whatever hard matter we wanted to get rid of in sight to block movement from under the fence. then filled the trench back with soil. predominantly HARD soil so the mice or other critters do not like! Ps.

Skunks only crawl under fences.

I purchased 2 Feet tall Metal Chickenwire and it works great when you need to do quick fencing to protect your garden from your pets or cute wild life (like rabbits). It does not require any significant posts to support it.

Small 3 feet stakes are sufficient and it all does the job.

We normally use the wire from our local co-op, but decided to look for something new, since it’s brittle and breaks too easily. This netting is great to work with. It’s flexible and bends easily without breaking.

We used it to line the base, walls and roof of a mini barn before putting the wood siding on. I’m confident it will last. It stretches well and holds shape, taking staples without breaking. Delivery was faster than expected and the price was better than smaller rolls we’ve purchased locally.

We will definitely be purchasing more for the next structure.

Fence worked well. I bought two in all. One was really hard to open, the manufacturer had weaved this wire throughout it, and it took two people- one to hold and manipulate the roll and the other to untangle the wire.

It was quite a nightmare.

This is more metal mesh than netting. Worked good. Dog was not included which was a total downer. Now I have a whole bunch of mesh but no dog to fence in. 12/10 would pet the dog in the photo, looks like a good doggo.

The wire was just what I was after to make out pool fence safe for our puppy. Very happy.

Good product,using it for my cat enclosure.

fantastic value – a great product

Inexpensive, great for quickly closing off areas from deer. Needs reinforcement for larger areas using metal chicken wire and single strand 16 – 18 gauge wire and even flagging so deer see it. Makes putting up a barrier fence quick and easy for tree saplings and small gardens (with a little creativity for making a door).

Used for many years reliably, just patching and replacing where deer ram it. Yes, it does rip easily with force, but so much cheaper and easy to maintain/fix.

It comes wrapped with quite a bit of small-gauge wire. It’s not going to unroll in transit. Then wrapped in a clear plastic cover with product information. Fine quality galvanized poultry netting (chicken wire).

I use it over the lower four feet of my garden fencing to keep younger jackrabbits (hares) out of my garden.

Perfect, just the right size for me to handle re: cutting and laying over new grass seeding to stop collar doves eating the seed. Brilliant.

The wire arrived in good time. Good quality and matched the description. All good

Needed to cut this into quite small pieces Very easy to cut and shape Good quality wire

it does, for the job that i had in hand. Fencing. There is nothing much more that can be said.

I bought this to use for covers on my plant containers. I plant 100s of bulbs and the magpies and squirrels dig them up. Chicken wire covers will allow the bulbs to grow without being got at! Easy to use and cut into the right sizes.

An ideal product that I wanted for my garden. Ideal length, the size of the holes not too small. Plus it was easy to work with as it was workable. Excellent for where I needed it, very happy.

We have very large prefab chicken coops, six of them! During the heat of the summer, suddenly our egg production stopped. Turns out the chickens were all laying under the structures. We headed out to TSC and bought this, cut it to the appropriate length, rolled it up, and shoved it under the deck of the coops.

Voila! Ever one is laying where they should. It couldn’t have been easier!.

This is the worst chicken wire I’ve ever used (in 50+ years). It is a very small gauge wire and the wire at the top, bottom, and middle are far more taut than the woven part. This creates a situation where the mesh is impossible to pull tight and creates a mess.

Would absolutely not buy this again.

I got this to add to the top of the fence around our chicken run. Every year when we put new chickens in there (younger, smaller, lighter, better fliers) we inevitably have one or two get out and become dog treats.

So far with the extra 2 feet on top of the fence They haven’t gotten out. This is thin wire and I would not want to use it to keep determined dogs out of my chickens, but for what we’re using it for it works great.

I have a ton of the cages & needed some extensions for fruits/vegetables that grow big. And this does that. I zip tie them together and then spray paint mine with black grill spray paint. This helps with rust and makes them prettier.

I also use their stain which is garden safe. And, their hoop 8×2 trellis that attaches to the garden box directly. A good company to buy from.

This was so easy to assemble and combine with my chicken wire coop. I’m using it to extend the height to accommodate cherry tomato plants. Looking forward to seeing if this will be successful, as my plants often get to more than 6′ tall.

I like how easy it is to take the top coop off leaving the extension on the ground.

I spray painted it black to blend in and make the vegetation easier to see. The coop connecting clips are easy to use and durable. I also reinforced the structure with zip ties.

I ordered this to wrap around a kennel we keep rabbits in so we could add some baby chicks we recently purchased. It came with some extra wire wrapped around the bundle so we used that to secure it to the chain link.

Worked out perfectly. I believe the price on Amazon was $10-$20 higher and it would of taken longer to deliver. Did exactly what we needed it to.

Bought this to keep rabbits out of my yard. My dog just had TPLO surgery and is supposed to take it slow and easy. Works like a charm.

Showed up fast and suited the application. Saved me a bunch of cutting being able to get this width. Glad Tracgtor Supply had it available to order.

The wire is thinner then I expected. I was going to use it to make a pen for my rabbit but to flimsy.

Just right for my finch’s. Thanks

Great quality & excellent value for money

The quality of the product is good. It feels strong but easy to tailor it with plier. I use it to circle the perennial bed and roses because they were ruined by animals every spring. It worked perfectly as I expected and has kept the animals away.

I’ve enjoyed the tulips already and other flowers are growing well and safely with no touch of the animals.

I needed to find a roll of metal chicken wire that was 4 feet high, and that was 150 feet. It was tough to find the product, and most places that sold it also had a high price. I was pretty excited when I found it here, and the price was amazing.

I have installed it around my garden and I have no complaints!.

Just what I wanted. Stuffed a bunch of it in a hole in the casing below the eves to keep the squirrels out. Worked like a charm. They hate it. I’LL use it for a small fence around the tulip bed since they hate it so much.

Squirrel.

I ordered the wire as an inexpensive way to keep critters out of my wife’s “newest” garden. Didn’t want to spend too much in case she lost interest. Had to special order since the length I wanted wasn’t carried in-store.

Delivery was quick and they kept me updated the whole time.

This is just chicken wire, and as far as I know, chicken wire is chicken wire. The bonus is when you pick it up at the store. I have never worked with chicken wire before. The folks at the store told me all about it – didn’t act like I was asking dumb questions.

Thanks to them, I think I will do just fine.

We’re using it to cover a hillside in our yard to keep our chickens from digging it up. We want the plants to grow through the large mesh, but keep the chickens from digging. If they can catch bugs, grubs, worms, etc.

through the large mesh – great. At least they can’t dig for them.

Well it was Chicken Wire and what can I say other than the chickens seem to love it. It’s kept the chickens in and the critters out. I pretty sure the chickens have been smiling since we expanded their area but with a face like theirs it’s kinda hard to tell.

Side bonus what I didn’t use for the chickens the wife used on her plants to hold them up. She might be smiling to but like the chickens she’s got a face that makes it difficult to tell too.
