Which hardware cloth you should choose will depend on the specific application or project you are using it for. Here are a few things to consider when choosing the woven mesh for you:

&#; Mesh size: The mesh size refers to the size of the openings in the wire mesh. Smaller mesh sizes are better for keeping small animals out, while larger mesh sizes are better for larger animals or debris.
&#; Gauge: The gauge refers to the thickness of the wire. A lower gauge number means a thicker wire, which will be stronger and more durable.

&#; Material: Woven wire mesh is available in several materials including galvanised steel, stainless steel and aluminium. Galvanised steel is the most common and affordable, while stainless steel is more corrosion resistant and aluminium is lightweight.
&#; Rust resistance: If the wire cloth will be exposed to the elements, you may want to choose a material that is rust-resistant.
Galvanized mesh (hardware cloth) works well as long as the coating doesn't get damaged. The whole purpose of the galvanizing is to stop rust where the zinc is scratched or otherwise damaged, this limits the rust to that area only. The thicker wire is stronger and the smaller the number the thicker the wire, most find that 16 gauge is plenty strong for all but bears. Chicken wire is no good for protection from any predator, 1/2 inch will prevent snakes from entry and everything else too. 1" will not give much protection from snakes nor will it prevent a coon or opossum from reaching through the wire. The best method for bending any hardware cloth is to use 2 - 2x4s for a makeshift brake so you can get a nice straight 90 degree bend. Usually a 45 degree bend works fine, that way you get below the ground protection from diggers, some like to just lay it out on the surface but you will need to have enough laid out that way to make the predator actually have to dig a tunnel (they hate to do that).
