Welded Wire Mesh Fence Panel

 

Welded Wire Mesh includes welded mesh rolls and welded wire mesh panels. The welded wire mesh rolls are widely used for garden fencing, plaster mesh. Welded Wire Mesh panel is made of thicker wire, the material includes PVC coated wire, GI wire, stainless steel wire, the opening size is larger. All of them have excellent corrosion resistance performance and durable life.

 

● How Welded Wire Mesh Is Made

A welded wire mesh is a series of steel wires welded at the wire cross-sections using one of the many welding techniques, such as tungsten inert gas (TIG) welding and resistance spot welding. The manufacturing process involves the spools of wires being threaded into a weld mesh machine, with separate ones being fed through a straightener and pre-cut to match the desired width of the mesh.

The wires from the spools are then fed into the machine. The pre-cut wires are then laid across the wires from the spools. From there, the machine applies a uniform and simultaneous weld at each cross-section. You can find welded wire mesh products in metal supplies stores packaged in rolls or panels of predetermined size.

 

● The Materials of Welded Wire Mesh

Thicker wires are often used to withstand the welding process, giving it more rigidity and durability. The mesh pattern creates a spacing that is usually between one-half inch and four inches apart. The increased strength and stability of the products make it a perfect choice for perimeter fencing for homes and protective caging for livestock, crops, gardens and other agricultural and horticulture applications.


● Welded Wire Mesh Fence Panels--a Variety of Purposes

Need to build a deck on your home, an animal enclosure, a boardwalk, or aquaculture-related traps? It may be time to explore welded wire mesh panels. Welded wire mesh panels come in a variety of mesh configurations, gauges, and finishes. Many zoos use welded wire fence panels for their animal enclosures. Depending on the animal, a lighter or heavier gauge wire may be utilized. For decking purposes, you may choose a vinyl coated welded wire panel, or stainless steel is a long-lasting option. Nurseries use PVC (polyvinyl chloride) coated panels for greenhouse benches as well as aquaculture for the marine industry. There are many applications for welded wire mesh panels that may be suitable for your needs.

 

● Choose your Gauge, and Proceed


Panels fabricated from previously manufactured rolls of wire are flattened and cut or sheared to size. As mentioned, welded wire mesh panels are offered in a variety of gauges (usually from 8 gauge to 16 gauge) depending on how strong the requirement or specification is. Unlike a chain-link fence, welded wire mesh panels can be offered to the measurements needed. Some wire mesh panels offered through Landyoung are custom fabricated and made-to-order, depending on the configuration and specifications. The vinyl coated welded wire mesh panels are coated with, as are the roles of wire, weather-resistant material, including UV.

 

● Panels and Rolls


A quick note about the difference between panels and rolls.

 

Panels are easy to install, especially when remodeling a deck on your home. They are custom made to your specifications, need minimal to no cutting and can typically be installed by one to two people. All these attributes make panels ideal for quick installs with minimal work crews.

Wire fence rolls are perfect for jobs that have larger linear footage to cover which may require work crews and professional installers. There are also additional materials like posts, rings, pliers and everything else you need to install a fence. We have many different customers who use the wire mesh rolls for multi-purposes like farming/agriculture, fencing, nurseries, and the like.

We offer many different varieties of wire rolls and panels, and we recommend discussing your projects with us. Don't hesitate to call us, we have the knowledge to provide the perfect solution.

Welded Wire Mesh Panels: Installation

 

If the panels are going to be installed onto a wooden frame:


1. stapling the mesh to one side of the wood helps keep it in place

2. it is recommended to staple it every few inches to keep it secure

3. it's best to use galvanized staples for weather resistance

The welded wire does not stretch like woven chain link fencing. Therefore, the panel size needs to be accurate when ordering.

 

● Problem Solving

 

Depending on the wire gauge and the mesh opening of a panel, there may be a bow that may cause sagging. If this occurs and stapling isn't an option, a stranded wire can be woven through the meshes to keep it upright and straight. The strand wire can be secured to a post and twisted as needed. Wire gauges and mesh openings play a significant role when determining what is best for an application.

 

● T Posts--Length

 

It is important to understand that not all posts are the same. Steel T posts and U posts are offered as a solution when installing panels, as well as rolls of wire fencing. It is recommended to use a post that is 2' (feet) longer or taller than the height of the finished fence height. For instance, if the height is going to be 5' tall, then 7' posts would be quite sufficient. You can use 6' posts, but over time may become loose or unstable in the ground.

 

● Animals: Some Perspective

 

If you plan to enclose animals, please keep in mind that animals do grow and can outgrow their environment. Make sure the height of the panels or fence are large enough to keep them safe and to keep wild animals out. Also, consider the overall size of the enclosure carefully. The mesh openings and gauges play a significant role when making these decisions. Animals may have to walk on the wire so a smaller mesh opening would be more comfortable on their feet, but the sides of the cage/enclosure could have larger mesh openings to see in or out.
