Do It 727486 Hardware Cloth 3x25 Ft Vinyl-coated Green

Product Description

The DO IT 727486 is a vinyl-coated galvanized hardware cloth mesh used for animal exclusion, garden protection, and general wire fencing applications. Constructed from 20-gauge galvanized steel wire with a green PVC coating, this mesh resists rust and weathering in outdoor and wet environments. The plastic coating is formulated to resist chipping and peeling under field conditions. Mesh openings measure 5/8 inch x 5/8 inch, sized to exclude small animals while allowing airflow and visibility. The roll measures 3 feet wide by 25 feet long and weighs approximately 10 pounds. Installers include landscapers, general contractors, farmers, and property maintenance professionals.

This hardware cloth is suited for residential and light agricultural use. Common applications include tree guard wraps to protect bark from rodents, small farm animal enclosures such as rabbit or chicken runs, vegetable and flower garden perimeter fencing, and submerged or partially submerged cage fabrication where corrosion resistance is required. The green vinyl coating blends with natural surroundings, making it a practical choice for visible garden installations. Sold as a single roll per unit.

Installation Notes

Hardware cloth is typically installed by landscapers, general contractors, or property owners using standard tin snips or wire cutters to cut to length. Wear heavy gloves when handling cut edges, as galvanized wire ends are sharp. Secure the mesh to wood frames or posts using galvanized staples or poultry staples to prevent corrosion at fastener contact points. For buried or submerged installations, verify local codes regarding material requirements before placing underground.
