Welded Stainless Wire Mesh - Choosing
How do I choose a mesh size?

In general, our website gives detailed descriptions and pictures of many welded stainless steel meshes.

For someone unfamiliar with wire mesh size terminology:

4 mesh has four wires in each direction in a square inch
2 mesh has two wires in each direction in a square inch. You could easily pass a pencil through the openings
1 inch x 1/2 inch mesh has wires that are form a 1 inch x 1/2 inch rectangles
1 inch x 1.5 inch mesh has wires that are form a 1 inch x 1.5 inch rectangles
2 inch x 1/2 inch mesh has wires that are form a 2 inch x 1/2 inch rectangles
1 inch mesh has wires that are one inch distant from each other in both directions. They form a pattern of one inch squares.
2 inch mesh has wires that are two inches distant from each other in both directions. They form a pattern of two inch squares
An idea of how thick the wire is, can be estimated using the fact that a piece of paper is about three thousandths (.003) of an inch thick. So, a wire .022 inches thick is equal to about 7 sheets of paper. (.022 divided by .003 equals 7).

Welded meshes are not woven, but rather the wires are joined by resistance-welding which results in strong, consistent welds which use no filler metal in the joints. It is used when a non-toxic and non-fraying material with a large openning is required. The holes range from pencil size to 2 inch squares.

Easy to see through, well suited for cages, and has strong welds with no filler metals. Cuts with strong tin snips.
