16 Gauge 1/2" x 1/2" Italian Galvanised Wire Mesh — Premium Upgrade

All our runs are built with premium Italian galvanised wire mesh as standard — and this upgrade takes that specification even further. The 16 gauge 1/2" x 1/2" mesh uses heavier gauge wire combined with the same tight 1/2" x 1/2" opening as our standard mesh, giving you an extra layer of reassurance in areas with significant predator activity.

Optional Draught Boards

Draught boards are integrated into the structure, as shown in the product image. If you would prefer these supplied as separate long boards, please email us at enquiries@vysearks.com with your order number, and we'll be happy to accommodate your request.

The guttering package includes both guttering and downpipes for two sides of the apex roof run, providing effective water drainage and protection.

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.
