Wholesale 1/4 Inch Galvanized Welded Wire Mesh Roll
Product Overview
A welded wire mesh roll with 1/4 inch (6.35 mm) square openings is produced by intersecting low‑carbon steel wires at right angles and fusing them with electric resistance welding. The entire sheet is then hot‑dip galvanized to apply a zinc coating that protects the steel from corrosion in outdoor and industrial environments.
The roll format allows continuous lengths to be cut on‑site, reducing handling time for fencing, concrete reinforcement, animal enclosures, and protective barriers.
Technical Specifications
| Parameter | Typical Value | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Opening size | 1/4 inch (6.35 mm) square | Center‑to‑center distance |
| Wire diameter | 0.080 inch (2.0 mm) – 0.105 inch (2.7 mm) available | Selected based on load requirements |
| Zinc coating | Minimum 60 g/m² (double‑side) per ASTM A123 | Hot‑dip process; thicker coatings optional |
| Tensile strength of wire | ≥ 450 MPa (low‑carbon steel) | Measured per ASTM A370 |
| Roll width | 0.9 m, 1.2 m, 1.5 m (standard) | Custom widths available upon request |
| Roll length | 10 m, 20 m, 30 m (standard) | Lengths can be spliced or customized |
| Weight (approx.) | 1.8 kg/m² for 2.0 mm wire, 60 g/m² Zn | Varies with wire diameter and coating |
Typical Applications
The 1/4 inch opening provides a barrier that excludes small rodents while allowing adequate airflow and light penetration, making it suitable for poultry house walls and partition panels.
In concrete construction, the mesh acts as a secondary reinforcement layer that controls cracking in slabs and precast elements; the welded joints ensure uniform load distribution.
For temporary site fencing, the roll can be unrolled and stapled to wooden posts, providing a quick‑erect perimeter that resists deformation under wind load.
Agricultural producers use the mesh as a protective screen for seedlings, preventing bird damage while still permitting irrigation spray to pass through.
Customization Options
- Wire diameter: 0.060 inch (1.5 mm) to 0.120 inch (3.0 mm)
- Opening size: 1/8 inch to 1 inch (customizable)
- Zinc coating weight: 40 g/m² to 120 g/m² (hot‑dip) or electro‑galvanized alternatives
- Roll width: 0.5 m to 2.5 m (cut to length)
- Length: continuous lengths up to 100 m (spliced with overlap)
- Edge treatment: plain, selvedge, or reinforced with PVC coating
Custom orders are evaluated for tooling feasibility; lead times adjust based on wire gauge and coating thickness.
Quality Assurance
Each roll undergoes visual inspection for weld continuity and coating uniformity. A magnetic pull‑test verifies weld strength, while a coating thickness gauge confirms zinc weight meets the agreed specification.
Samples are cut from the beginning, middle, and end of a production lot and subjected to a salt‑spray test (ASTM B117) for a minimum of 24 hours to demonstrate corrosion resistance.
Documentation includes a mill test report that lists wire chemistry, tensile test results, and galvanizing weight; this report is supplied with each shipment.
Packaging and Shipping
Rolls are wound onto a solid cardboard core (inner diameter 75 mm) and wrapped in polyethylene film to protect against moisture during transit.
For palletized shipments, rolls are stacked horizontally, secured with straps, and covered with a weather‑proof top sheet.
Export containers receive additional corner bracing and desiccant packs to limit internal humidity.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can the mesh be supplied with a PVC coating?
Yes. A PVC over‑coat can be applied after galvanization to provide additional abrasion resistance and color options; thickness typically ranges from 0.2 mm to 0.5 mm.
What information is required for a quotation?
Please provide wire diameter, opening size, desired zinc coating weight, roll width, length, and any edge or finish requirements.
How is quality inspected before shipment?
Each lot receives visual weld inspection, coating thickness measurement, and tensile testing on a random sample; results are recorded in the mill test report.
What are the standard lead times?
Standard configurations ship within 10‑15 business days; custom gauges or coating weights may extend lead time to 20‑25 days.
