Close up of chicken wire used in a chicken coop. Chicken wire, or poultry netting, is a mesh of wire commonly used to fence poultry livestock, such as chickens, in a run or coop.It is made of thin, flexible galvanized steel wire, with hexagonal gaps.n construction, chicken wire or hardware cloth is used as a metal lath to hold cement or plaster, in a process known as stuccoing. Concrete reinforced with chicken wire or hardware cloth yields ferrocement, a versatile construction material.
Therefore, subject to extreme changes in temperature, chicken wire (durable twisted woven mesh - no rigid mesh) is more acceptable for plastering than welded wire mesh or expanded metal. Using it when plastering effectively prevents plaster layer drying out and cracking. Its hexagonal shape prevents the formation of internal stresses. Due to its flexibility structure, chicken wire is convenient for mounting on curved and angled surfaces. Its other benefits are twisted mesh improved corrosion resistance and no risk of injury at work.
