VEVOR Hardware Cloth 72 in x 100 ft, 1/2 in 19 Gauge Galvanized Wire Mesh Roll, Weather-Resistant Vinyl Coated Chicken Wire Fencing, Heavy Duty Welded Garden Plant Fencing for Rabbit Cage Snake Fence

This 19-gauge vinyl-coated galvanized hardware cloth typically lasts 15 to 20 years outdoors under standard weather conditions. The double-layer protection of inner galvanized steel wrapped in exterior PVC plastic shields the metal against rust, UV rays, and moisture, though direct underground burial in acidic soil or exposure to salt air in coastal environments can shorten its lifespan to around 5 to 10 years.
