Welded wire mesh are not woven, but rather the wires are joined by resistance-welding which results in strong, consistent welds which use no filler metal in the joints. It is used when a non-toxic and non-fraying material with a large open is required.
Resistance welded at each intersection, welded wire mesh permits larger openings with smaller diameter wire than woven wire. Rigid welded construction offers outstanding performance when galvanized or powder coated. Since intersections are fixed in place, broken paint seals due to wire migration are eliminated.
Wires running the length of the sheet (warp wires) provide the foundation for welded wire mesh. Shute wires are positioned perpendicular to the warp wires and when welded create square or rectangular patterns. Wire placement determines pattern size and style.
Our standard range of mesh is held in 304 quality from ¼" X ¼" mesh from 21 swg (0.8mm) wire, to 2" x 2" mesh from 10swg (3.1Smm) wire. Within this range we hold stocks in rolls of various widths for the lighter meshes, and panels 8ft x 4ft and 6ft x 3ft for the heavier meshes.

Many non-standard meshes are also manufactured to special order within the wire diameter range from 18 swg (1.2mm) up to ½" (12.5mm). Both these and standard meshes can be supplied spot welded to heavier gauge rod frames.
