| What do you need? | Solution: |
| Strongest Mesh, Most Rigid | The strongest, most rigid and panel-like options are our Weld Mesh 50mm x 50mm 10 gauge and 50mm x 50mm 12 gauge. If you’re looking for a smaller hole then our 13mm x 13mm 16 gauge Weld Mesh is a strong, reasonably panel-like mesh. We also offer Welded Mesh Panels in a stainless steel finish. |
| General Fencing / Boundary Fencing | Medium-weight Weld Mesh such as a 50mm x 50mm 14 gauge is ideal for a garden boundary or general purpose fencing. |
| Cheapest Weld Mesh | Our Lightweight Weld Mesh in either a 25mm x 25mm hole 19g or 13mm x 13mm hole 19g is a good budget option. The mesh is lightweight and easy to bend by hand, but has more structure than Chicken Wire Netting. |
| Best Mesh For Dogs | Our welded Dog Fencing is an excellent choice to keep most dogs safe, and is European made to a very high standard. |
| Best Mesh For Cats | Our European made welded Cat Fencing is ideal for Catios, offering a strong wire mesh to keep your cats safe. |
| Keep Out Rodents | Galvanized welded mesh with a 19mm x 19mm hole 16g or 13mm x 13mm hole 16g is ideal for keeping out rats. A weld mesh with a 6mm x 6mm hole is the ideal Mouse Mesh. We also have a range of Rat Mesh products suitable for keeping out both rats and mice. |
| Keep Out Birds | The best welded mesh for keeping out birds is our 13mm x 13mm Hole Weld Mesh, which is available in either a 13mm x 13mm 19 gauge lightweight option, or a heavier-weight 13mm x 13mm 16 gauge option which is ideal for louvres. |
| Keep Out Foxes | Our 50mm x 50mm hole 14 gauge welded wire mesh is perfect for Fox Protection. This medium-weight weld mesh is more than strong enough to prevent foxes from chewing or breaking through. |

| Weld Mesh Frequently Asked Questions |
| What is welded mesh? |
| Welded mesh is a strong, durable grid of metal wires that are welded together at their intersections, as opposed to woven mesh, which is made by weaving metal wires over and under each other. |
| What are the differences between wire mesh and welded mesh? |
| Welded mesh is a type of wire mesh. Due to its rigidity, welded mesh is a stronger form of wire mesh compared to a woven product such as chicken wire netting. |
| Is welded mesh galvanised? |
| Welded mesh can be made from galvanised steel or stainless steel. Galvanising is a zinc coating which is applied to mild steel to protect it from rusting, whereas stainless steel is an alloy. Galvanized mesh offers excellent protection against corrosion, however stainless steel welded mesh is even more rust resistant. |
| Does welded mesh rust? |
| Galvanised welded mesh is well protected against rusting, and is suitable for use outdoors. For an even longer lasting mesh, stainless steel welded mesh offers an even higher level of protection against corrosion. |
| How do you cut welded mesh? |
| To cut welded mesh, you will need to use special fencing tools such as cutters and pliers. For light-weight welded mesh up to 1mm thick, a pair of aviation cutters will easily snip through the wire. If you are cutting heavier-duty mesh then a diagonal wire cutter is the perfect choice for cutting wire up to 3mm thick. |
