Description
Heavy Rural Netting 40mm Hex x 1.4mm Heavy Galvanised
The Heavy Rural Netting with 40mm hexagonal apertures and 1.4mm heavy galvanised wire is a versatile rural netting solution for poultry enclosures, garden protection, and property boundary applications. The 40mm hex opening suits a wide range of uses including chicken runs, rabbit exclusion, orchard protection, and vegetable garden fencing. The heavy 1.4mm wire gauge delivers greater strength and durability compared to lighter-gauge hex netting options.
This rural netting features a heavy galvanised coating that resists rust and corrosion in Australian outdoor conditions including coastal and humid environments. The galvanised wire maintains its integrity through UV exposure, rain, and temperature extremes. The hex weave pattern distributes tension evenly across the netting, which prevents deformation and sagging even when livestock or wildlife press against the fence line.

Why Choose Heavy hex netting?
First and foremost, this the netting delivers significantly more strength than standard light-gauge hex netting, making it suitable for applications where animals or wildlife may push against the fence. Furthermore, the heavy galvanised coating means the netting outlasts ungalvanised or lightly coated alternatives in Australian conditions. As a result, you get a better return on your fencing investment with less frequent replacement. In addition, the 40mm hex opening is small enough to exclude rabbits while remaining easy to work with during installation. According to the Australian Department of Agriculture, effective exclusion fencing is a key tool in pest and predator management on rural properties.
Installation Tips for this product
Before cutting and installing your the netting, plan the layout and mark your post positions first. Then, staple or clip the netting to posts at regular intervals to maintain an even tension. In addition, bury the bottom edge of the netting at least 100mm into the soil to prevent rabbits digging under the fence. Finally, overlap netting joins by at least 100mm and secure them with tie wire to close any gaps that animals could push through.
