General purpose mesh
Welded wire mesh starts as plain square mesh in rolls or sheets, from light gauge for plaster and gardening to heavy gauge for security and containment. From the same mesh, our fabrication line cuts, bends, welds and frames finished components to customer drawings, from simple mesh trays and shelves to framed machine guards and concrete spacers.
Also known as: Welded mesh roll · Galvanized welded mesh · Square mesh roll · Hardware mesh
Standard mesh is stocked as rolls and sheets; fabricated forms are produced to drawing. Both come from the same wire and welding line, so coating and colour match across the order.
Standard welded mesh in rolls and sheets, 12–22 gauge.
Also known as: Welded mesh roll · Galvanized welded mesh · Square mesh roll · Hardware mesh
Square or rectangular mesh welded at every crossing and supplied in rolls or flat sheets. It is the standard general-purpose mesh: straightforward to cut, easy to fix, and available in a wide range of aperture and wire combinations.
| Wire gauge | 12 to 22 gauge (0.7–2.0 mm) |
|---|---|
| Opening | 6.4–100 mm square or rectangular |
| Roll width | 0.9 m / 1.2 m / 1.5 m / 2.0 m (3 ft to 6 ft) |
| Roll length | 15–50 m standard, or cut to order |
| Galvanizing process | GBW (galvanized before welding) standard; GAW (galvanized after welding) for higher corrosion resistance |
| Surface finish | Electro galvanized, hot-dip galvanized or PVC coated |
| Supply form | Rolls, or flat sheets cut to size |
| Packing | Waterproof paper and woven bag for rolls; flat bundles for sheets |
Mesh cut, bent, welded and framed into finished components to your drawing.
Standard mesh converted into finished components: cut, bent, welded, framed and assembled to a drawing. This suits buyers who need a part rather than a sheet, and who would rather not carry out the fabrication themselves.
Also known as: Custom mesh · Made-to-order mesh · Mesh components · Fabricated panels
| Cutting | Laser cutting, shearing or saw cutting to drawing |
|---|---|
| Tolerance | Typically ±0.5 mm on cut components, confirmed per part |
| Forming | Bending, rolling, pressing and edge forming |
| Frames | Flat bar, angle steel or wire frame, welded or mechanically fixed |
| Assembly | Welding, hooks, frames, inserts and hardware as required |
| Materials | Mild steel, stainless steel or galvanized mesh and strip |
| Drawings accepted | DWG, DXF, STEP, PDF or a physical sample part |
| Quality | Inspection against the drawing before packing |
| Packing | Part-specific packing to protect edges and surfaces |
What this detail shows
Close-up of the welded intersection: each crossing wire is fused flat, giving the mesh its dimensional stability in rolls and sheets.

GBW mesh is made from wire that was galvanized before welding, so the welded crossings expose bare steel. GAW mesh is galvanized after welding, so the zinc covers the joints as well, giving noticeably better corrosion resistance at a higher cost.
A drawing in DWG, DXF, STEP or PDF format, or a physical sample part. The material, mesh type, surface finish, quantity and any tolerance or inspection requirement should also be stated.
Yes. Fabricated parts are made from the same mesh as the rolls and sheets, so wire grade, aperture and coating stay consistent across the order. Send the mesh specification and the fabrication drawings together.
Send the mesh specification or the fabrication drawing. We quote rolls, sheets and finished components on the same enquiry.
