Our 20 Gauge Gopher Wire is a heavy-duty and commercial grade wire that is available in galvanized and stainless steel options. The galvanized option is double hot dipped galvanized which provides a long estimated lifespan of 6-10 years. The stainless steel option is made of T-304 / 18-8 stainless steel with an estimated lifespan of 25+ years. They both provide a high level of corrosion and rot resistance in above and below ground installations.

The mesh openings are 3/4" and are available in a 100' roll length.

What About Moles?

Although gopher wire is not specifically designed to prevent mole intrusion, we have had customers that have installed it for this application and the gopher wire has proved effective at deterring moles from tunneling into landscape and lawn areas.



"After tilling and clearing the loam from our yard, I installed the gopher wire roll. I then applied another 6 inches of topsoil/compost and then laid 1,800 square feet of zeon zoysia sod. The gopher wire roll is an incredible product and in my mind worth every penny. I have already seen the results. There is an adjacent section where our yard meets the neighbors yard. Given the frequent watering/worms, etc. our yard has become an attractive site for moles. Well, our yard has been perfectly protected from the moles, and our neighbors yard is full of new holes and tunnels. They just cannot seem to penetrate the wire roll. The quality is also impressive. Does not even compare to the junk available at “unnamed big box” hardware store (trust me, I looked!) Anyway, here are several photos of the installation process and the final product. "
