Determining Purpose for Wire Mesh Usage

Prior to delving into the procurement process, it's imperative to ascertain the primary purpose of acquiring stainless steel wire mesh. Whether it's for filtration, protection, or specific applications, understanding the intended environmental conditions of wire mesh usage is equally vital.

Understanding Mesh Types: Woven vs. Welded

The choice between woven and welded mesh types entails considering their distinct attributes. Woven mesh, crafted by interlocking individual wires, delivers impressive flexibility and a traditional, visually appealing pattern suitable for architectural designs and decorative applications. In contrast, welded mesh, formed by welding intersecting wires, provides exceptional structural strength and a uniform grid pattern, ideal for heavy-duty applications like security fencing and industrial barriers. Selecting between the two depends on balancing needs for flexibility, aesthetic preferences, and the specific requirements of the project.

Choosing the Right Alloy Grade: 304 vs. 316 Stainless Steel

The choice between 304 and 316 stainless steel grades is pivotal, dictating the wire mesh's corrosion resistance and durability. Analyzing these factors in alignment with your project's requirements is indispensable to ensure optimal performance.

Stainless steel grades 304 and 316 exhibit distinct characteristics. Grade 304, comprising 18% chromium and 8% nickel, offers commendable corrosion resistance in standard environments and finds widespread use in appliances and industrial equipment. In contrast, grade 316, featuring 16-18% chromium, 10-14% nickel, and 2-3% molybdenum, boasts superior corrosion resistance, particularly in aggressive settings like marine or chemical applications. While 304 suffices for general use, 316 stands out for demanding conditions requiring exceptional corrosion protection.

Specifying Dimensions and Complete Specifications

When specifying wire mesh dimensions, key aspects include wire gauge sizes, which encompass wire diameter and opening size. Common wire diameters range from fine gauges like 30 to heavier gauges such as 10 or 12, depending on the application's demands. Mesh count, indicating the number of openings per linear inch or centimeter, plays a crucial role. Additionally, clearly specifying the material type (304 or 316 stainless steel) and mesh size dimensions in inches or millimeters ensures accurate fabrication and suitability for the intended purpose.

Consideration of Specialized Mesh Options

Exploring specialized options like architectural wire mesh offers unique design possibilities for aesthetic projects. Understanding these alternatives allows for tailored solutions that stand out in functionality and appearance.

Sourcing Reliable Suppliers for Quality Assurance

When seeking suppliers for stainless steel wire mesh, prioritize those with ISO 9001 certification, ensuring adherence to quality standards. Look for materials compliant with ASTM or relevant industry standards, backed by thorough quality testing for corrosion resistance and strength. Detailed product specifications, including mesh count, wire diameter, and material type (304 or 316 stainless steel), are crucial. Opt for suppliers with a strong industry reputation, substantial experience, and positive customer references for reliable and high-quality mesh products.

Installation Instructions

The following instructions show how to install a wire panel fence using T Posts.

To Do Explanation

Step 1 – Mark Area

Mark a straight line for the fence between the two end posts.

Step 2 – Measure Distance

Use panels to measure the distance between the posts.

Shitai contains other products and information you need, so please check it out.

Step 3 – Install End Posts

Drive the end posts 50cm into the ground using a post driver or mallet.

 

 

Ensure the posts face in the same direction.

Step 4 – Check for Same Height

Secure a string between the end posts, then check their installation height with a tape measure.

Step 5 – Check for Straightness

Use a spirit level to confirm that the posts have been installed perfectly straight.

Step 6 (Optional) – Set in Concrete

To achieve a stronger and more secure fence, place your posts in concrete by digging a 50cm hole and pouring cement into it for your post to sit in.

Step 7 – Install Middle Posts

To install middle posts, repeat steps 3-5.

 

Be sure to verify that the posts are oriented in the same direction and are being installed both straight and at the same height.

 

If you desire an even stronger fence, you can also use concrete to secure the middle posts.

Step 8 – Attach Panels

Begin at the end post and fasten the mesh to it using cable ties, which can be threaded through the pre-drilled holes in the post.

 

 

You can add additional cable ties by enclosing the entire post.

Alternative Option

Increase the spacing between the posts by overlapping the panels. Connect the panels by securing them together with cable ties.

 

FAQs

What is PVC coating and what are its advantages?
Polyvinyl Chloride is a coating that offers similar properties to galvanisation in that it makes the material more resistant to the effects of weather, making it ideal for outdoor uses. The difference is that galvanised steel can sometimes feel rough or coarse, where as PVC coating offers a much smoother surface.

Can I use welded wire mesh to install shelves for my garage?
Yes, but as the material is not overly rigid you would need support from underneath in the form of wooden or metal beams.

Is this suitable for animal cages, including hamsters?
Yes, this product is perfect for larger animal cages such as dog and cat enclosures. The PVC coating gives the material a smooth finish making it more forgiving on animals. However, for smaller animals, e.g. a hamster, the hole sizes are too big and we would recommend something with smaller gaps.

Would this product be suitable as a pond guard?
Yes, if it was secured firmly to either fence posts as a safety barrier or across the top of the pond.

Which hole size would you recommend when building a small bird aviary?
For a small bird aviary, the 13mm x 13mm would be the most appropriate as some birds may be able to fit through our larger option.

Could I use welded wire mesh to protect my windows?
Yes. You would however need to attach it to some sort of frame in order to reinforce the mesh. For this we would recommend a wooden frame, using staples to attach the mesh.

What would be the best way to cut this product down to size?
Due to the material’s strength we would recommend something stronger than say a pair of scissors, but this product can be easily cut using bolt cutters or a good pair of wire cutters.  

What is the easiest way to unroll and flatten wire mesh?
Wire mesh rolls might sometimes require rolling in the opposite direction to flatten. But the beauty of our panels is that they are flat, meaning they are ready for installation upon delivery.

How do I fix this product to wood?
Whether this is a wooden fence post or frame, we would recommend and industrial strength staple gun to give you the strongest support to the wood. However, you can also use a smaller staple gun if you do not expect the structure to endure much stress. If you are looking for a more detailed guide to the full process of making a wooden fence, there are many video tutorials available for free online.
