Wire a whole coop and run from one 48 x 100 ft roll of 1/4-inch welded hardware cloth. The galvanized grid keeps small predators out and keeps you from checking the perimeter every morning.
Durable 1/4-inch welded wire mesh in a 48 x 100 ft roll for coops, runs, and screening
- keeping poultry and small animals contained
- keeping out pests and predators
- needing a long continuous length for large enclosures
Build a predator-tight run in one continuous roll
Stop patching short panels and worrying about the gaps. Wire a full coop and run from a single 48 x 100 ft roll of 1/4-inch welded hardware cloth and sleep through the night.
A welded grid that stays square
Welded grid that stays square
Every intersection is welded, so the openings hold their 1/4-inch shape and the joints do not shift when something leans on the wall.
One roll, no seams
A single 100-foot roll covers long runs without the joins that become weak points when you build from short panels.
A finish made for outdoor weather
The galvanized coating is made to resist rust on a coop wall or run. Keep scratches to a minimum during install and it should stay looking the same.

The gap you didn't see
Short panels leave seams, and a seam is where a raccoon starts. You check the run every evening and still wonder what you missed.

A 48 x 100 ft roll wraps the coop and run in one length. Cut it to size, fasten it, and the enclosure is done.
Install it once and keep it working
- Cut on flat ground
Use tin snips or bolt cutters. The roll springs back.
- Wear gloves and eye protection
Cut edges are sharp.
- Use outdoor-rated fasteners
Galvanized staples or ties, spaced evenly.
- Check seams after a few weeks
Walk the run and check fasteners and the base.

Questions and answers
A 1/4-inch square opening is far tighter than chicken wire, which tears easily and lets small predators through. It is the mesh to choose when the threat is small and determined. Bury or skirt the base so nothing digs under.
Yes, it is a hot-dip galvanized welded roll. The coating protects the steel outdoors. Cutting and fastening can scratch it, so handle it with care and use outdoor-rated fasteners.
Measure each wall and the run perimeter, then multiply by the 48-inch height you need. One roll is 100 feet long, so total your wall lengths and add a little for overlap at corners.
It is heavy and stiff, and it springs back when cut. You can do it alone, but a second person makes the long sections easier. Work on flat ground and wear gloves and eye protection.
Fasten every corner and the base to the frame with galvanized staples or ties, spaced evenly. Overlap cut edges and run your hand along each seam before you close the door.
Chicken wire is cheaper up front but tears and does not stop small predators, so many builders end up replacing it. A one-time install of welded mesh costs less over several seasons than redoing the run.
