Surfin Posted November 24, 2010 Share Posted November 24, 2010 I intend to construct a WIR and will use welded mesh for the sides. My problem is that I can't decide what mesh size to order. By size I mean the size of the holes. 1/2" X 1/2" ; 1/2" X 1" ; 1" X 1" or other? BTW for those metricated peoples " equals inch ( an old English measurement used when we Brits ruled an Empire) I do have a very local Mr. fox and family so it has to be secure. I intend to staple it with 12mm staples onto sturdy treated wood. Any help or advice is very welcome. Ian Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Redwing Posted November 24, 2010 Share Posted November 24, 2010 Any of those will be fine. My mesh is all 1 x 1 which helps the run look more open. Its the strength that will keep the fox out, you'll need 16 or 19g Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Surfin Posted November 24, 2010 Author Share Posted November 24, 2010 Thanks for the reply Redwing. I think that I will go for 1X1 for the very reason that you mentioned. Ian Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coco Posted November 24, 2010 Share Posted November 24, 2010 We have used 19g and 1 x1 weldmesh on the WIR. All it needs now is putting together. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
meezers Posted November 24, 2010 Share Posted November 24, 2010 I have 1/2 by 1 inch, chosen to stop rats getting in- a rat could get through 1x1 inch. Irrelevant though, if like me you have a dirt floor, the little so and sos just tunnel under Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
