We are one of the leading suppliers of quality galvanised wire netting and stock fencing in the UK.
We regularly supply to Fish Farms, Fisheries, Poultry and Game Farms as well as for small holdings, home chicken keepers and thatchers.
At Collins Nets all of the wire mesh fencing we stock is galvanised after manufacture for the best quality which you can rely on. It is popular with gamekeepers for building release pens. It can also be used as rabbit wire, chicken wire as well as fruit, vermin and thatching protection.
We have a range of sizes available to suit different budgets and qualities required. We stock a range of different mesh hole sizes dependent on what you are looking to fence in, out, or protect. It is also available in a range of different mesh size, wire thicknesses and heights:
Our galvanised netting is often used as chicken wire – because it is so versatile and offers many benefits to gamekeepers.
Galvanised wire is perfect for poultry protection. It creates a barrier that is effective in keeping foxes, raccoons and birds of prey away.
Chicken wire is a cost effective solution that is inexpensive compared to other fencing solutions.
It’s versatile and easy to install, too! Chicken wire is lightweight and can be manoeuvred in many ways to cover unusually-shaped enclosures. The low cost of chicken wire makes it a great option for protecting large areas.
All of our rolls of wire mesh are 50 metres in length. We also have rolls of stock fencing and weldmesh available, widely used by farmers and gamekeepers across the country. All these products make us a one stop wire fencing shop!

Collins Nets stocks various mesh sizes—typically from 10 cm to 25 cm hole sizes, in heights up to 1.5 m and roll lengths of 30 m and 50 m. Choose smaller meshes (10–15 cm) for predator exclusion or poultry pens and larger meshes (20–25 cm) for deer, cattle, or boundary fencing.
The medium-grade C8-80-15 (80 cm tall, 8 line wires, graduated mesh sizes, 3.15 mm top/bottom wire, 2.5 mm infills) is perfect for deer, sheep, and general stock fencing. For boundary lines, electric fencing-style protection, or larger animals, opt for heavier netting with thicker wire diameters.
Yes. Collins Nets uses hot-dip galvanising, which offers significantly better longevity than cold galvanisation—resisting corrosion for years in outdoor conditions.
For ground-level fencing—such as securing pen floors or forming predator-proof bases—galvanised wire (25–31 mm mesh) is essential to prevent burrowing pests. Use lighter plastic netting higher up to reduce weight and cost.
Absolutely. The versatility of mesh sizes makes it suitable for sheep, pigs, deer, and rearing pens for pheasants or partridges. Smaller meshes ensure secure containment, while larger meshes work for boundary fencing.
Use heavy-duty strainer posts at ends/turns.
Stretch tight using wire strainers or ratchet tools.
Attach with galvanised staples every 30–40 cm (angle them slightly for grip).
Bury the bottom 10–15 cm into the ground to deter digging animals.
Yes—with proper inline electric wire installation. Small-diameter line wires can support low-voltage poly-wire or tape, creating an electric barrier atop or beside the mesh. Always check compatibility with electric fencing accessories.
Inspect annually and after severe weather. Retighten using strainers as necessary and replace damaged sections immediately using crimp sleeves or inline connectors. Repair wildlife-triggered holes promptly to maintain security.
Absolutely. A common setup is a galvanised bottom skirt (25 mm mesh) up to ~0.5 m ground level to prevent burrowing, with lighter plastic netting above to reduce visibility and overall weight—advertised as the Collins “Jumbo Release Pen” method.
