1" x 1" Galvanised Welded Wire Mesh Panel

Strong, secure, and endlessly adaptable, galvanised welded wire mesh is a fundamental material for countless fabrication, storage, and safety applications. This robust mesh offers a unique combination of strength, corrosion resistance, and ease of use, making it a favourite among metalworkers and industrial professionals.

Welded wire mesh is crafted by welding intersecting wires at each contact point, creating a unified and strong structure. The welded construction ensures the mesh can withstand significant pressure and strain, making it ideal for demanding industrial applications.

The galvanisation process coats the steel wire in a protective layer of zinc. This zinc layer shields the underlying steel from corrosion, rust, and harsh weather conditions. This extended lifespan makes galvanised welded wire mesh a cost-effective option, eliminating the need for frequent replacements.

Welded wire mesh comes in a vast array of hole sizes, wire thicknesses (gauges), and overall panel dimensions. This large selection allows fabricators to choose the perfect mesh for their specific project requirements. For instance, a finer mesh with a thinner gauge might be suitable for filtering applications, while a heavy-gauge mesh with larger openings could be ideal for machine guarding.

The rigid structure and clean welds make galvanised welded wire mesh simple to cut, bend, and form into various shapes and configurations. This ease of use translates to faster fabrication times and reduced project costs. Additionally, the welded intersections eliminate the need for complex weaving techniques, further streamlining the fabrication process.

Applications in Industrial Fabrication

The versatility of galvanised welded wire mesh shines through its extensive use cases in industrial settings. Here are some prominent examples:

• Machine Guards and Safety Cages: The robust nature of welded wire mesh makes it perfect for creating protective barriers around machinery. These barriers safeguard personnel from moving parts and hazardous materials, promoting a safer work environment. The open mesh design allows for ventilation and visibility while maintaining a secure barrier.
• Storage Bins and Baskets: Welded wire mesh can be formed into strong and durable storage bins and baskets. These containers are ideal for holding a variety of parts, tools, and materials. The open design allows for easy identification of contents, promotes air circulation, and prevents moisture build-up.
• Animal Enclosures: Galvanised welded wire mesh offers a strong and long-lasting solution for constructing animal enclosures. The secure design prevents escapes while allowing for proper ventilation and visibility. Additionally, the zinc coating protects the mesh from animal bites and harsh weather elements.
• Fabrication Base Product: These panels can be used as a base byproduct to create other products or structures.

Galvanised welded wire mesh is an indispensable material for industrial fabrication. Its strength, durability, and versatility make it a valuable asset for creating a wide range of functional and long-lasting products.

In addition to our robust galvanised mesh panels, we also offer copper washed welded wire panels for a unique aesthetic touch to your fabrication projects.
