Falkor Posted February 13, 2009 Share Posted February 13, 2009 Do you mean chicken wire or Weldmesh? I think the Omlet run is 2" x 1" 16g if that is any help. An eggspert will be along soon, I am sure! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
meezers Posted February 13, 2009 Share Posted February 13, 2009 If it's weld mesh you want, then go for smaller holes - 1/2 by 1 inch will stop rats from getting in, get the heaviest gauge you can, 16 would be good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plum Posted February 14, 2009 Share Posted February 14, 2009 If its to keep chickens in and not the fox etc out it doesnt matter as long as its smaller than their head. I don't think that helps you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
