Chicken wire
The lightest and thinnest type of wire mesh can be considered chicken wire, which has hexagonal eyes similar to French and gabion wire mesh, but thinner and less durable.
Contrary to its name, it is not only used in making animal cages, and today we can confidently say that the most common use of this wire mesh is in the construction and building industry with various applications, which we have fully explained in the relevant section of the article.
The first manufacturer of this product in the 1980s was an ironmonger named Charles Bernard in Italy, who invented the chicken wire production machine by copying the weaving machine. The first use of this product was also as a protector for radars during explosions in World War II.

After shaping, they are woven by people using a simple tool such as a screwdriver.
After weaving and rolling, they are ready to enter the sales market.
Production by automatic method:
This method generally has four steps, which are:
Placing the twisted wire in the machine and coating it.
Transfer the wire mesh to the fence weaving section of the machine.
The twisted wires in the machine are twisted together and create almond-shaped eyes.
The beginning and end of the wire mesh are tightened by an automatic wire twister.
