Tenax
3 Ft. x 25 Ft. Black Poultry Fence


This long lasting, UV stabilized, black plastic fence is an alternative to traditional chicken wire. This plastic fence will not rust or corrode and is easy to reuse. It can be used in many applications, including poultry runs and screening, and as a fence around vegetable or flower gardens. It is easy to work with because it cuts with a utility knife, and leaves no sharp edges. The attractive design blends into the surrounding areas.

• Very versatile.
• Can replace traditional chicken wire, in many applications.
• Holds its shape better than metal.
• Will not deform or stretch.
• Use it around plants or entire gardens for pest deterrence.
• Also great as shelf liner in workshops and potting sheds.
• Will not rust, rot or corrode.

hmmm I dunno, is it galvanized? certain wires can cause urinary tract infections in gliders so galvanized wire is the best way to go honestly.

go to www.sugarglider.net and ask them, its a forum dedicated to any and all glider related information/questions :)

i dont think it is galvanized. is it bad if it is? because on the site, it says some are, and the rest it has no description that says it, so im guessing its not.

Get galvanized or powder coated wire otherwise the wire will cause problems.

No, you should NOT used anything galvinized. It leads to UTIs and lead posioning in some cases. Powder coated or PVC coated wite is what you should use. The spacing should not be anything larger than 1/2 inch. (which all "pultry wire" I have seen is WAY WAY too big!)

GliderBlowOut is right, no galvanized wire... that was my mistake.
