Welded wire mesh (also called welded wire fabric or “weldmesh”) is a pre-made steel grid produced by electric fusion welding. It is formed by parallel longitudinal wires that are evenly spaced and welded to cross wires at set intervals, creating a strong and uniform mesh.

Made on precision machinery, welded mesh provides excellent dimensional accuracy and helps reduce installation time, labour, and overall cost.

Common applications of welded wire mesh include:

• Safety covers
• Fencing and cages
• Stairways and balustrading
• Catwalks
• Large-scale construction projects
• Anti-theft screens
• Shelving
• Fishing traps
• Tree guards
• Bird cages

Galvanised welded wire mesh is a type of mesh made from steel wire coated with zinc to provide excellent corrosion resistance and longer service life.

The “17 mm” specification generally indicates the mesh aperture (opening) size, meaning each square opening is approximately 17 mm × 17 mm.

This mesh is produced by welding the wires at every intersection, creating a rigid, strong, and dimensionally uniform grid.

Typical specifications include:

• Wire gauge (thickness): varies by requirement, commonly from 12 gauge (≈ 2.50-2.65 mm) to 18 gauge (≈ 1.20 mm)
• Mesh sizes: available in multiple aperture options (e.g., 1/2 inch, 1 inch, and more) for uses across fencing, construction, industrial, and agricultural applications
