C&Xanadu 200mm x 3m rodent proofing wire mesh

This welded galvanised wire mesh roll helps keep rodents and small pests out of vulnerable garden and home spaces. It offers a compact solution for blocking access under decking, vents and around compost heaps while allowing airflow and drainage.

Key Points

This rodent-proofing mesh is made from welded metal and receives a hot-dip galvanisation after welding to protect all joints against corrosion, which extends service life. The small 6mm x 6mm aperture and fine wire gauge create a barrier that frustrates mice, rats and other small intruders while still being flexible enough to shape around corners and fixtures. For cutting and shaping you only need ordinary tin snips, but wear gloves because the edges can be sharp. 🧤

The mesh is suitable for outdoor use and resists weathering, so it can be used for a variety of garden and household projects. Typical applications include reinforcing garage or air vents, lining raised beds, making tree guards, constructing small animal traps or covering gaps beneath decking where snakes or chipmunks might enter. 🐭

Usage Recommendations

When installing, unroll the mesh and cut to size with tin snips, folding edges under where possible to reduce sharpness. Fasten with galvanised staples or screws and washers to maintain corrosion resistance at fixings. For under-deck installations consider overlapping joins by at least one mesh width and securing seams to avoid gaps that may be exploited by determined pests.

Note that very heavy impacts or prolonged contact with moist soil may eventually affect the finish, according to the manufacturer, so elevating the mesh slightly or using it in combination with a protective trim can increase longevity. The small aperture effectively blocks mice and small rats, but for larger burrowing animals a stronger gauge or deeper trenching may be necessary. 🛠️.
