Chicken Wire Sculptures By Shi Jindian

Chicken wire, or poultry netting, is a mesh wire commonly used to fence poultry livestock. It is made thin, flexible galvanized wire, with hexagonal gaps. Available in 1 inch (about 2.5 cm) diameter, 2 inch (about 5 cm) and 1/2 inch (about 1.3 cm), chicken wire is available in various wire gauges usually 19 gauge (about 1 mm wire) to 22 gauge (about 0.7 mm wire). Chicken wire is occasionally used to build inexpensive cages for flying animals, though the zinc content galvanized wire makes it inappropriate for gnawing animals such as parrots.
In construction, chicken wire is used as a matrix to hold cement or plaster, in a process known as stuccoing. Concrete reinforced with chicken wire yields ferrocement, a versatile construction material.
Chicken wire was invented after 1947. In machine tool design, chicken wire may be used for safety guarding. Chicken Wire commonly used in construction has been found to block or attenuate Wi-Fi, cellular and other radio frequency transmissions by inadvertently creating a Faraday cage.
