Welded wire mesh, known as hardware cloth, is a metal mesh made by welding horizontal and
vertical wires together at their intersections. There are various types of welded wire mesh
such as stainless steel welded wire mesh, galvanised welded wire mesh and PVC coated welded
wire mesh, which are corrosion resistant, durable and low cost and are widely used for captive
animals, gardening, construction, and fence reinforcement.
Features
1. Good corrosion resistance: the raw material of welded wire mesh is made of high-strength
galvanized wire, PVC-coated iron wire and stainless steel wire, which has high tensile
strength and good corrosion resistance and can be used for a long time without rusting.
2. Easy to install: When installing the welded wire mesh, it is only necessary to fix the
mesh on the posts or wooden stakes, the mesh can be cut at will and the welded joints will
not open.
3. Cost-effective: Compared to other materials used for fencing and applications, welded
wire mesh is inexpensive and an economical choice.
4. Good ventilation: Welded wire mesh has good air circulation and good lighting, making it
ideal for poultry enclosures and machine protection, etc.
5. Wide range of uses: Welded wire mesh can be used as chicken cages, poultry confinement,
reinforced fences, as gardening fences, machine protection covers, wall construction
reinforcement, window sill protection, etc.

Technical Note of Hardware cloth (Welded wire mesh):
1. Standard roll length : 30 m, standard roll width : 0.5 m - 2.5 m.
2. Packing: Hardware Cloth wrapped in moisture-proof paper and plastic film and then either
placed in a cardboard box or can be packed in a way specified by the customer.
3. Wire diameter, mesh opening, roll length, roll width and packaging of welded wire mesh
are all available on request.
Details and Types
Types
1. Welded wire mesh according to the material can be classified as galvanized welded wire
mesh, PVC coated welded wire mesh, stainless steel welded wire mesh, etc.
Galvanised Welded Wire Mesh: This type of hardware cloth mesh is coated with a layer of zinc
to prevent rust and corrosion. Galvanised welded wire mesh can be classified as galvanised
after welding ( GAW ) or galvanised before welding ( GBW ), and galvanised after welding (
GAW ) for better corrosion resistance.
PVC coated welded wire mesh: This type of hardware cloth mesh is usually welded with
galvanised wire and then coated with a layer of PVC to provide additional protection against
rust and corrosion. A variety of colours are available to suit different environments.
Stainless steel welded wire mesh: This type of hardware cloth mesh is made from stainless
steel wire, which is highly resistant to rust and corrosion and is usually made of 304, 316
stainless steel to ensure that it will never rust.
2. Welded wire mesh can be classified into square openings and rectangular openings depending
on the shape of the mesh.
This type of hardware cloth mesh has square openings and is the most widely used type of
welded wire mesh. It is commonly used for fencing, animal enclosures and construction.
Welded wire mesh with rectangular openings: This type of hardware cloth mesh has rectangular
openings and is usually used to reinforce concrete structures, as well as for fences and
animal enclosures. The common size of rectangular opening is 1"*2", 2"*2", 3"*2", 4"*2",
4"*3", 4"*4", other meshes of welded wire mesh are available on request.
Production
Hua Guang Company chooses high tensile strength black wire, galvanized wire or stainless steel
wire welded by automatic welding machine, and after the welding is completed, hot-dip
galvanized or PVC dipping treatment. The mesh surface is flat, the mesh holes are even and the
welded joints will not open.
Application
Welded wire mesh is very widely used because of its simple structure, easy installation, easy
cutting and good corrosion resistance.
1. Welded wire mesh (hardware cloth) can be used as a fence or to make a fence more secure.
2. Welded wire mesh (hardware cloth) is used on building walls, where it is fixed on the
wall before plastering to prevent cracking at a later stage.
3. Animal control: fences or cages made of welded wire mesh (hardware cloth) can be used to
control animals such as chickens, ducks, rabbits, birds etc.
4. Welded wire mesh (hardware cloth) is used for machine guarding and dividers in the middle
of shelves, etc.
