Chicken wire

In construction, chicken wire or hardware cloth is used as a metal lath to hold cement or plaster, a process known as stuccoing.

Concrete reinforced with chicken wire or hardware cloth yields ferrocement, a versatile construction material.

The installation of these systems caused a countrywide shortage of chicken wire in the United Kingdom.

In photonics, the chicken-wire effect is a predominant pattern of low transmission lines between multifiber bundles in a fiberoptic used to couple the intensifier tube to the CCD sensor.

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.
