Welded wire mesh specifications are commonly used in a wide array of industrial and non-industrial applications, including animal caging, critter and varmint control, agricultural use, air vents, basket fabrication, food applications, aviary and bird screen, industrial separation fan and machine guards, security retention, basket fabrication, industrial separation and soffit screens.
Residential do-it-yourselfers gravitate towards these specific items because they offer tremendous value and versatility for projects around the home. In most normal environments, stainless steel will have a longer life cycle than a comparable galvanized mesh.
It is important to distinguish between T-304 stainless steel and T-316 stainless steel. T-304 stainless steel is more popular and more widespread in it use, while T-316 stainless steel is generally reserved for marine environments as it offers a higher resistance to corrosion.
Welded wire mesh is available in carbon steel, stainless steel, and various other alloys, when available. Carbon steel welded wire mesh can be supplied as plain (mill) finish, hot-dipped galvanized, and painted certain colors (upon request). This 4" x 4" square mesh opening with a .250 wire diameter is very popular in various applications which include handrail infill and security screens.
