Welded Wire Mesh
welded wire mesh is made of selected quality iron wires through the process of automation and sophisticated welding technique. The end product is level and flat, sturdy structure, and even strength throughout, the netting shows no signs of wear and tear when cutting off a part or under a stress.
welded wire mesh is galvanised by hotdipping after welding, having good corrosive resistance and qualities which are not usually found in average wire mesh.
Electrical welded wire mesh is widely used in industry, farming, construction, transportation and mining for protection of structure, safety segregation, keeping of poultry and livestock, and decorations etc. welded wire mesh is characteristic of its fine qualities, sturdiness and durable, economy as well as attractiveness.
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Welded wire mesh, or welded wire fabric, or “weldmesh” is an electric fusion welded prefabricated joined grid consisting of a series of parallel longitudinal wires with accurate spacing welded to cross wires at the required spacing. Machines are used to produce the mesh with precise dimensional control. The product can result in considerable savings in time, labour and money.
The welded wire mesh is a metal screen that is made up of low carbon steel wire or stainless steel wire. It is available in various sizes and shapes. It is widely used in agricultural, industrial, transportation, horticultural and food procuring sectors. It is also used in mines, gardening, machine protection and other decorations.
Weldmesh is the term given to the kind of barrier fencing that is manufactured in square or rectangular mesh from steel wire, welded at each intersection. It is usually affixed to steel uprights. Weldmesh is a relatively cheap fencing solution but has the advantage over chainlink wire of not bending so easily and not being so easily cut. It is therefore ideal where a low level of security is required but where chainlink fencing is too easily overcome.
Welded wire fabric (WWF) is also sometimes used in reinforced concrete, notably for slabs.
There are several types of welded wire mesh which can be categorized according to their structure, use, and characteristics.
Welded wire fabric (WWF) for concrete slab reinforcement
This type of mesh is a square grid of uniformly placed wires, welded at all intersections, and meeting the requirements of ASTM A185 and A497 or other standards. The sizes are specified by combining the spacing, in inches or mm, and the wire cross section area in hundredths of square inches or mm2. The common sizes are in the following table:

Electro galvanized welded wire mesh with square opening
This type of welded wire mesh is designed for building fencing and in other infrastructural purposes. It is a corrosion resistant wire mesh that is largely used in structural building. It is also available in different forms like rolls and panels for industrial uses.
Hot dipped galvanized welded mesh
This type of mesh wire is generally made up of plain steel wire. At the time of processing it goes through a hot zinc covering process. This type of welded mesh ware with square opening is ideal for animal cage structuring, fabricating the wire boxes, grilling, partition making, grating purposes and machine protection fencing.
PVC Coated Welded Mesh
PVC coated welded mesh with plastic covering is constructed with galvanized iron wire of high quality. It has PVC powder covering that is processed by an automatic machine. The smooth plastic coating on this corrosion protective wire is attached with a strong adhesive which make increases durability of the wire. It is used in fencing residential and official properties like gardens, parks, building etc. The PVC coated welded mesh which is available as both rolls and panels, is also available in different colors like white, black, green etc.
Welded Stainless Steel Mesh
This kind of welded mesh wire is basically used in industrial fencing purposes. It is made up of stainless steel that has high strength and integrity. This corrosion resistance meshed wire is long lasting and is widely used in transportation, agricultural, mining, entertainment and other service sectors.
Welded Wire Fencing Panels
This is a type of meshed wire that is available as panels and is basically used for fencing purposes. It is available with or without galvanization. The non-galvanized version comes for a lower cost.
