Wire Fence & Mesh for Turtles & Tortoises

For Exclusion & Containment

While there are many different ways to build a turtle or tortoise fence, the most widely used specification is 16 gauge with 1" x 2" openings, and 36" high x 100' long galvanized after welded wire mesh.

  • Species of turtle

  • Aesthetics
  • Code requirements
  • Longevity
