We understand that reliable animal enclosures require durable materials. That's why we use only high-grade low-carbon steel wire and apply a thick zinc coating that withstands weather extremes. Our customers report that our 16 gauge welded mesh lasts 3–5 years longer than standard painted wire in outdoor conditions. With a production capacity of 5000 rolls per month, we can fulfill both small and large orders with short lead times.
