Construction & Materials

Our panels are built for durability, strength, and animal safety.

Welded Mesh:
Made from 16 gauge 3/4 inch x 3/4 inch Italian galvanised steel welded mesh. Also available in 19 gauge  ½ inch x ½ inch. Please note we never use chicken wire – foxes can chew through it. This tighter, stronger mesh keeps predators out and prevents small birds from entering.

Sturdy Timber Frame:
Our frames are built from 58mm x 38mm pressure-treated timber (milled size approx. 34mm x 44mm) for excellent weather resistance and long-lasting structural integrity.
