These walls of mesh can take a beating during play, also from the elements, and from ordinary wear and tear. Now there is a [superior mesh](https://www.louispage.com/wire-netting/hexagonal-paddle-tennis) on the market all over the U.S. (and indeed, internationally) that sets the bar high for the overall resiliency and longevity of a platform tennis court. **Finding the Right Mesh** However, products are flooding the market, in particular, the mass-produced Chinese sources that may be adequate in the short run, but may not stand up in the long haul. Proper galvanization, the tensile strength of the wire and its accurate diameter, and specification of the mesh size are all essential for optimal performance of the game. As the ball hits and bounces off the screen in umpteen directions, the reliability of mesh is key in the moment-to-moment strategizing of the game. **A Developing Company ** It is vital that as a court ages, that the durability of the mesh can stand the test of time as the court is exposed to the elements and daily use. In the past, the galvanized wire cloth used for the screens of our courts were machined by Gilbert & Bennett from Georgetown, Connecticut, a company that had made all the wire cloth in the country. The company's closing in 1989 left a void in sourcing mesh for the paddle tennis industry and thus the search was on for an equivalent manufacturer. Regrettably, this is when poultry netting produced in China appeared on the scene as the worldwide hunt for a source ensued. Thankfully, a steel wire company in Belgium named Betafence emerged and became the manufacturer *until* a few years ago. **On to Bogota** With map in hand, we now travel to a small town near Bogota, Colombia named Cajica, where a factory exists that carries on this tradition of creating the finest platform tennis mesh. The identical state-of-the-art machinery, that Betafence has maintained for 28 years, has made the voyage to Cajica and the company Andimallas y Andimetales S.A. has now been established, producing a mesh of that same high quality. [![hexa factory](https://www.louispage.com/hs-fs/hubfs/hexa%20factory.jpg?width=611&name=hexa%20factory.jpg)](https://www.louispage.com/wire-netting/hexagonal-paddle-tennis) **Details that Make the Difference** The installation of these machines was carried out by the same technicians that had been involved in Belgium for generations so that the quality, standards, and specifications have been maintained scrupulously. There are huge advantages of working with this type of mesh: it is smoother, easier to install and it can also be tensioned to have exactly the same rigidity as the galvanized after weave mesh, and the galvanization is stronger than the other galvanization system--240 grms-zinc/m2. Rolls are 16 gauge, 1” mesh, 72” x 157.5’ and weigh 296 lbs.  **With a Winning Team** The mesh is known as "[Hexa Sport](https://www.louispage.com/wire-netting/hexagonal-paddle-tennis)" and Louis Page has exclusive rights to supply and distribute this mesh for the American market. Louis Page is excited to be teamed with the international company Andimallas y Andimetales S.A., a specialist in the production of hexagonal mesh and we endeavor to supply and rejuvenate Platform Tennis courts across the nation. With 125 years in the business, Louis Page stands front and center in its commitment to delivering the finest in mesh and fence products available. With your game hanging in the balance, here is a resilient mesh that will keep that ball in play.

Now a bit less nervously as a 5-mile hexagonal mesh fence protects these endangered birds from feral cats, who stalk and feast on the birds' vulnerable chicks. The curved floppy top of the fence prevents the cats from successfully scaling it. Take a look at this video which explains the massive undertaking of installing this cat-proof wire mesh fence in a remote location as well as showing the nesting habits of the 'ua'u (or Hawaiian petrel.)    **Some Progress** There used to be thousands of petrels and it is said that their presence would blacken the skies at particular times of the year. The population has dwindled due to increased settlements and people bringing in cats, rats, feral pigs, and barn owls. The struggle goes on as outdoor lights on homes and buildings are very disorienting to the young birds, causing groundings, which leave them vulnerable to predators. The 'ua'u is also preyed upon by Indian mongooses and feral dogs which this fence also restrains. Two years on, there are reports that this hexagonal mesh fence is proving successful as there is an upturn in the number of nesting sites in the area.  **What about Coated Hex Mesh?** [Hexagonal netting](https://www.louispage.com/wire-netting/hexagonal-gaw) (aka chicken wire) that has been coated with a coating of PVC will last and last. After the 1" hex mesh is woven from 20 gauge galvanized wire (GBW), it is completely coated with a tough, flexible, bonded layer of black PVC. The coating is**:** - extremely resistant to cracking, chipping, and weathering - unaffected by extremes of temperature - protected from degradation from sunlight by the UV inhibitors in the vinyl Vinyl coated chicken wire has an approximate 18 gauge overall finished thickness and is highly resistant to rust and corrosion. Black color helps the mesh blend in with the landscape, becoming virtually invisible. This long-lasting mesh works well in a variety of applications**:** bird pens, garden fence, around the home or farm, and as you can see--on the lava slopes of Moana Loa! **Tell us about the job and Louis Page will supply the type of fence you need.** [![Vinyl Coated Chicken Wire](https://no-cache.hubspot.com/cta/default/10240/3d7cf5b8-a2a6-4a0a-86ae-4e01bda8f30f.png)](https://cta-redirect.hubspot.com/cta/redirect/10240/3d7cf5b8-a2a6-4a0a-86ae-4e01bda8f30f) If you are interested in more information on the restoration of the Hawaiian petrel:    [Read More](https://www.louispage.com/blog/five-miles-of-cat-proof-fence-erected-to-save-hawaiian-petrels) Topics: [black vinyl coated](https://www.louispage.com/blog/topic/black-vinyl-coated), [vinyl coated](https://www.louispage.com/blog/topic/vinyl-coated), [1.5x1.5](https://www.louispage.com/blog/topic/1-5x1-5), [galv after](https://www.louispage.com/blog/topic/galv-after), [12.5 gauge](https://www.louispage.com/blog/topic/12-5-gauge), [1" mesh](https://www.louispage.com/blog/topic/1-mesh), [exclusion fence](https://www.louispage.com/blog/topic/exclusion-fence) ## [Deer Fence - Black Vinyl Coated 1-inch Hexagonal Mesh, 90 inches high](https://www.louispage.com/blog/bid/67746/deer-fence-black-vinyl-coated-1-hexagonal-mesh-90-high) October 5, 2013 | by [Duncan Page](https://www.louispage.com/blog/author/duncan-page) [![sag harbor fence with 1x1 black wire](https://www.louispage.com/hs-fs/hubfs/sag%20harbor%20fence%20with%201x1%20black%20wire.jpg?width=600&name=sag%20harbor%20fence%20with%201x1%20black%20wire.jpg)](https://www.louispage.com/fences/deer-wildlife) **Outfox the Deer** Staying ahead of these graceful interlopers requires some know-how. There are several different types of products available that can be used for deer fence. 1" hexagonal mesh that is coated with Black PVC can be used very effectively. The rolls are 7-1/2' (90") x 100'. **One Tough Fence** This black vinyl coated (VC) hexagonal poultry netting deer fence will last a long time. After 20 gauge galvanized wire is woven into a 1" hex mesh, the galvanized before weaving (GBW) roll passes through the vinyl coating process. A tough, flexible, thick coating of black PVC is tightly bonded to the wire. The resulting vinyl coated deer fence is very corrosion resistant. It is also extremely resistant to cracking, chipping and weathering. Inhibitors in the vinyl protect it from UV degradation. Black color makes the mesh blend in with the landscape. **Gives on Impact** This mesh works well as a deer barrier fence. When deer encounter a black fence, they know there is a barrier but cannot see it distinctly. They are much less likely to jump a fence if they cannot clearly see the top to clearly judge the distance. Extra tall 90" height eliminates piecing together narrower rolls. The inherent resiliency of this woven mesh allows the fence to give upon impact. Check out the advantages.   [![Deer Barrier Fence black vinyl coated hex](https://www.louispage.com/hs-fs/file-335865186-jpg/images/hex_mesh_-_black-resized-600.jpg)](https://www.louispage.com/fences/deer-wildlife) #### **So Many Benefits** - Extra tall 90" height - No need to piece shorter rolls together - Lower labor costs, shorter installation time - Flexible mesh is designed to give upon impact - The material is highly resistant to rust and corrosion - Unobtrusive barrier - black color blends with background - Weatherproof - long lifetime due to zinc and PVC protection #### **And Many Uses** - Protect individual trees and shrubs - Ideal to use in populated suburban areas - Barrier fence to keep deer away from gardens and plantings ![Duncan Page](https://www.louispage.com/Portals/10240/images/DOP_-_1_small-resized-600.jpg?width=45&height=51&name=DOP_-_1_small-resized-600.jpg)![signature-resized-600_thumb](https://www.louispage.com/hs-fs/hub/10240/file-13063454.jpg?width=100&name=file-13063454.jpg) [![deer in yard](https://www.louispage.com/hs-fs/file-333623974-jpg/images/deer_peering.jpg?width=323&name=deer_peering.jpg)](https://www.louispage.com/fences/deer-wildlife) [![Get your free catalog now!](https://no-cache.hubspot.com/cta/default/10240/02b84ba1-20f3-4f36-807a-87c2fa640a47.png)](https://cta-redirect.hubspot.com/cta/redirect/10240/02b84ba1-20f3-4f36-807a-87c2fa640a47) [Read More](https://www.louispage.com/blog/bid/67746/deer-fence-black-vinyl-coated-1-hexagonal-mesh-90-high) Topics: [deer fence](https://www.louispage.com/blog/topic/deer-fence), [vinyl coated wire](https://www.louispage.com/blog/topic/vinyl-coated-wire), [1" mesh](https://www.louispage.com/blog/topic/1-mesh) ## [Wire Mesh for Holiday Projects](https://www.louispage.com/blog/bid/13875/wire-mesh-for-holiday-projects) December 3, 2010 | by [Frank Langone](https://www.louispage.com/blog/author/frank-langone) **Pick a Holiday, Grab Some Chicken Wire** Do you need a lightweight wire mesh for making different seasonal holiday projects?
