Welded Wire Mesh

Welded wire mesh is a widely used material known for its strength, uniformity,
and ease of use. Welded wire mesh offers a compelling combination of strength,
versatility, and cost-effectiveness. Understanding the different material
options, coating methods, and applications allows for selecting the ideal
welded wire mesh solution for your specific needs.

Material Options
Low Carbon Steel Wire: Most common and cost-effective choice for general
applications.
Stainless Steel Wire: Offers superior corrosion resistance for demanding
environments.
Benefits
High Strength: Provides excellent structural integrity for various
applications.
Uniformity: Consistent mesh size ensures predictable performance.
Ease of Installation: Simple to cut, weld, and bend for customization.
Cost-Effectiveness: An affordable solution for fencing, reinforcement, and
enclosures.
Corrosion Resistance: Often galvanized or coated for long-lasting durability.
Applications
Construction: Reinforcing concrete slabs, walls, and foundations.
Fencing: Creating secure perimeters for residential and commercial properties.
Animal Enclosures: Building cages and pens for livestock and pets.
Partitions: Dividing industrial spaces and creating secure areas.
Coating Options
Hot-Dipped Galvanized: Provides a thick and robust zinc layer for enhanced
corrosion resistance.
Electric Galvanized: Offers a smoother finish with moderate corrosion
protection.
PVC Coated: Enhances weather resistance and adds a layer of protection against
wear and tear.
Weaving and Coating Methods
Hot-Dipped Galvanized After Weaving: Galvanizes the finished mesh for optimal
corrosion resistance.
Electric Galvanized After Weaving: Similar to hot-dip galvanizing, but with a
thinner zinc layer.
PVC Coated Welded Wire Mesh: Applies a PVC layer after welding for additional
weatherproofing.
Mesh Count
Mesh count refers to the number of wires per linear inch in both the horizontal
and vertical directions of the mesh.

6 x 6 mesh (152 x 152 mm): A versatile option for general applications like
fencing and machine guards.
8 x 8 mesh (12.7 x 12.7 mm): Provides good balance between airflow and
protection in applications like animal enclosures.
10 x 10 mesh (6.35 x 6.35 mm): Offers a finer screen for applications requiring
better filtering or smaller particle control.
12 x 12 mesh (5.08 x 5.08 mm): Ideal for situations demanding a very fine
screen, like sifting or filtering small components.
