Supplied in a 30 metre roll, the mesh is approximately 200 mm wide with a ½ inch × ½ inch aperture. When shaped and secured around the panel perimeter, it helps reduce access by birds, possums and rats, as well as the build-up of leaves, nesting material and other debris beneath the array. Close-fitting corners and overlaps help minimise entry gaps.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003e\u003cspan lang=\"EN-US\"\u003eGalvanised wire with a protective PVC finish\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e\u003cspan lang=\"EN-US\"\u003eElectro-galvanisation and the PVC outer coating provide two protective treatments over the steel wire.
