FAQs
What is the primary use for this mesh?
This mesh is primarily used for security screening, animal enclosures, and general DIY projects requiring a strong, durable barrier.
Is the mesh rust-resistant?
Yes, it is made of galvanised steel, which provides good resistance to rust and corrosion.
Can this mesh be used for fine insect screening?
With a 13x13mm mesh size, it is generally too large for fine insect screening. It is better suited for larger pests and general security.
What tools are needed to cut this mesh?
Heavy-duty wire cutters or tin snips are recommended for cutting this galvanised steel mesh.
Can this mesh be used outdoors?
Yes, the galvanised coating makes it suitable for outdoor use, providing protection against weathering.
How is the mesh constructed?
It features a triple torsion weave, which enhances its strength and flexibility, making it less prone to unravelling or deforming.
Troubleshooting
Mesh is difficult to cut
Ensure you are using heavy-duty wire cutters or tin snips designed for metal. For thicker gauges, scoring the area first might help.
Edges are sharp after cutting
Wear thick work gloves when handling cut edges. Consider folding or crimping the edges if they pose a hazard for the intended application.
Mesh is not staying in place
Use more securing points or heavier-duty fasteners. Ensure the mesh is pulled taut before fastening to create tension.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: To set up the mesh, measure and cut to the desired size using heavy-duty wire cutters or tin snips. Secure the mesh using U-nails, staples, wire, or appropriate framing hardware, depending on the application. Ensure all cut edges are handled with care to avoid injury.
Compatibility: This mesh is compatible with most standard framing materials such as wood and metal. It can be attached to existing structures or used to build new enclosures.
Care: The galvanised coating provides excellent rust resistance. To maintain its condition, periodically clean the mesh with water and a mild detergent if it becomes soiled. Avoid abrasive cleaners or materials that could damage the galvanised layer. Store in a dry place when not in use to prolong its lifespan.
