it's made up of inch size squares. Never seen wire like that before.
Now I'm almost sure it will do the job but not entirely sure as the wire
is unkinked if you see what I mean but chicken wire has little dents in
it.
Hope I've explained that clearly as I'm wondering if we should return it
and buy the 'proper' stuff as I really need to make this walkway safe to
walk on.

Hi, further to other answers, I'd like to add that from experience, I'd take the wire back and change it for the 1/2 " mesh. You will find the smaller mesh gives more grip and will be less likely to 'distort' from useage and therefore less likely to catch in shoes etc. Use the 'u' shaped galvanised fencing staples to fix it, hit in at 90 degrees to the woodgrain and not with it !
