Chicken wire fencing is a type of fence engineered to contain chickens and keep out predators. Typical applications include:
Creating a movable poly chicken fence surround for rotational chicken grazing. Poly is easy to move and lightweight, but not chew-proof or predator-proof.
Creating a permanent all-metal chicken fence to enclose chickens and keep out predators using our posts and fence system.
Using our metal chicken fencing to build your own chicken enclosure, an increasingly popular option for those customers looking for wire for their coops. Most popular is our ½ x ½ black welded wire mesh.
Typical permanent all-metal chicken fences include four sides and a top. This prevents climbing and flying predators from getting at your chickens. A chicken fence kit is a selection of fencing, fence posts, accessories, and hardware to build a complete fence to keep in chickens, starting from scratch (pun intended).
Our chicken fences are not electric and cannot fail due to broken wires, dead batteries, or other power concerns. They are engineered to keep out many different animals, depending on the options you choose. If you have a specific application that needs an electric fence, we do offer a poly electric chicken fence that pairs our high-strength poly with strands of electric fence.
Compare 1000+ fence kits, combinations, and options within each of these types of chicken fences. Since 1992, we have provided top-quality fences to our customers. In general, most chicken fence customers select:
A chicken wire fence with four sides and a top. This type of chicken fence has four sides and a top designed to keep out all types of predators. Chicken fences with a top can be made of poly (light, less expensive) or all-metal with a one-inch opening size. An additional, smaller metal skirt with an opening size of ½×½” or ¼×¼” can be added to each.
A poly chicken fence or poly chicken fence with a chew barrier base. Chickens don’t chew, and poly fence has properties that make it a great chicken coop fence. Poly chicken wire fence doesn’t have memory (if it’s hit, it returns to its original shape, unlike metal, which, once bent, stays bent). Poly chicken fence is also lightweight, very strong, and inexpensive. It’s easy to move
A poly chicken fence paired with a steel chew barrier base featuring a smaller opening size (½×½” or ¼×¼”) to exclude chewing predators. This configuration is usually made permanent and is great for a side chicken fence area for an enclosed chicken coop for use at night.
