Key Features & Benefits
- Robust 16 Gauge Wire: The 1.6mm diameter wire provides excellent tensile strength, resisting deformation even under constant pressure from animals. It prevents bending or breaking, ensuring a long service life.
- Precise 1/2 Inch Openings: The 12.7mm square openings are designed to keep small animals inside while preventing predators from reaching in. The mesh size also allows for proper airflow and light penetration, essential for animal health.
- Zinc Coating Protection: Our zinc coating process (hot-dip galvanized or electro-galvanized) creates a protective barrier against rust and corrosion. This makes the mesh suitable for humid environments, outdoor use, and frequent cleaning with water or disinfectants.
- Welded Construction: Each intersection is electrically welded, creating a rigid, uniform grid that will not unravel or shift. This provides a stable structure that can be easily cut, bent, or framed without losing integrity.
- Versatile Applications: Ideal for animal cages, aviaries, reptile enclosures, garden fencing, and even construction reinforcement. The mesh can be used for both containment and protection.
- Easy to Install: The mesh is lightweight yet sturdy, allowing for quick attachment to wooden or metal frames using staples, screws, or cable ties. It can be cut with standard wire cutters.
- Customizable Options: We offer various roll widths, lengths, and custom sizes. Additionally, we can provide different zinc coating thicknesses (e.g., 30-50 g/m² for electro-galvanized, or 100-200 g/m² for hot-dip) to match your specific needs.

Frequently Asked Questions
-
Q: Is this mesh suitable for outdoor use?
A: Yes, the zinc coating provides excellent weather resistance. For harsh outdoor environments, we recommend hot-dip galvanized version for maximum protection. -

A: Absolutely. We can cut the mesh to your required dimensions. Please specify the exact width and length when placing an order. -
Q: What is the difference between electro-galvanized and hot-dip galvanized?

Q: Can this mesh be used for rabbit cages?
