Do It 703583 Hardware Cloth 24x5.5 in 1/2 Inch Mesh Roll

Product Description

The DO IT 703583 is a galvanized steel hardware cloth roll designed for light structural and containment applications across trades and skilled DIY work. The 2x2 wire mesh features 1/2 inch square openings, delivering 4 openings per square inch — a geometry well-suited for applications requiring small-animal exclusion or reinforcement without blocking airflow or drainage. At 24 inches wide, the roll fits standard framing bays and common enclosure dimensions. The galvanized finish provides corrosion resistance for both indoor and outdoor use. Installation requires only basic hand tools such as tin snips, staple guns, or wire cutters.

This hardware cloth roll is suited for residential and light commercial use. Common applications include garden bed borders, gutter guard fabrication, animal control enclosures, poultry and rabbit cages, tree guards, and craft or hobby framing. The 24-inch width works well for standard garden beds, window wells, and enclosure panels. The roll format allows cutting to custom lengths on-site, reducing material waste and simplifying handling during installation.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by contractors, landscapers, or skilled tradespeople using tin snips, staple guns, or fencing pliers. Cut edges are sharp — use gloves and eye protection when trimming to length. When attaching to wood framing, use galvanized staples or U-nails to maintain corrosion compatibility. Secure all cut edges to prevent unrolling or contact hazards after installation.
