Chicken Mesh

Chicken Mesh

Chicken wire, or poultry netting, is a mesh of wire commonly used to fence in fowl, such as chickens, in a run or coop. It is made of thin, flexible, galvanized steel wire with hexagonal gaps.

Chicken wire mesh is formed by twisting two adjacent wires at least four times, forming a strong honeycomb mesh structure. As its special physical and mechanical properties, chicken wire is perfectly suited for reinforcement plastering in construction, reinforcement waterproofing, leveling floors and facade work.

Description

Poultry netting (chicken wire) can be used in concrete, but it is difficult to hold in place, can interfere with larger aggregate flow, and has very little tensile strength.

Chicken mesh has the same function as reinforcement does in concrete. It strengthens the plaster against forces . Mainly to avoid the crack formed due to insufficient gap filling between RCC column & Brick wall joint.
