FAQS on 16 gauge hardware cloth

Q: What is the difference between 16 gauge and 23 gauge hardware cloth?

A: 16 gauge hardware cloth has thicker wires and is more durable, ideal for heavy-duty applications. 23 gauge features thinner wires, making it lighter and better suited for delicate projects like craftwork.

Q: Can 16 gauge hardware cloth withstand outdoor weather conditions?

A: Yes, 16 gauge hardware cloth is galvanized for rust resistance, making it suitable for outdoor use. It holds up well against rain, snow, and UV exposure when installed properly.

Q: What are common uses for 6ft hardware cloth?

A: A 6ft-wide hardware cloth is often used for fencing, garden protection, or animal enclosures. Its width provides coverage for taller structures while minimizing seams.

Q: Is 23 gauge hardware cloth safe for small animals like chickens?

A: 23 gauge may be too thin for predator-prone areas. 16 gauge is recommended for chicken coops as its thicker wires resist bending from raccoons or foxes.

Q: How does wire spacing vary between 16 gauge and other hardware cloth types?

A: Gauge (wire thickness) doesn't dictate spacing—both 16 and 23 gauge offer various spacing options (e.g., 1/4", 1/2"). Always check both gauge and mesh size for project suitability.
