what is chicken mesh?explain its use

Answer Posted / ravitej11

Chicken wire mesh is formed by twisting two adjacent wires at least four times, forming a strong honeycomb mesh structure. So, it has a high strength and durability. Even if a place is cut off, it will not lead to the entire chicken mesh structure destroyed. When using for plastering, plaster layer and the reinforcing metal layer have different thermal expansion coefficient. Therefore, subject to extreme changes in temperature, chicken wire (durable twisted woven mesh - no rigid mesh) is more acceptable for plastering than welded wire mesh or expanded metal. Using it when plastering effectively prevents plaster layer drying out and cracking.
