Galvanized Hardware Cloth - Cutting
Galvanized meshes are easily cut with hand tools. A common scissor can be used to cut the 8 mesh. All other galvanized meshes will require tin snips. Steellong has a order for custom cut galvanized hardware cloth wire mesh discs, rectangles, shallow cups and custom slit ribbons.

Due to slight irregularities in the spacing of the wires, it is normal for rectangles to be supplied with either flush cut edges or an exact size with random sheared edges. In other words, if you specify an exact size, the cut edge will often fall between two wires.

Galvanized hardware cloth is economical for industrial, agricultural and some residential uses. These meshes are first woven or welded from steel wire and then dipped in a bath of molten zinc. It is also called galvanized screen wire and galvanized mesh wire.
