Resistance welding: Cross wires fused at each intersection for fixed geometry and high shear strength.
Sizing & edging: Panels trimmed; rolls leveled.
Surface treatment: Galvanizing or PVC coating where specified.
Inspection: Aperture measurement, wire/weld shear tests, visual finish check, count & labeling.

Why Choose Stainless Steel Welded Wire Mesh Panels?

Corrosion resistance with strength: SS304/304L suits most environments; SS316/316L recommended for coastal/chemical exposure.
Clean aesthetics: Consistent openings and straight lines; PVC coating offers low-glare color options to match frames or landscape.
Long service life: Stable under UV and weather, minimal maintenance.
Versatility: Panels or rolls; square or rectangular openings from 10 mm to 300 mm; wire diameters 0.5–6.0 mm.
Easy installation: Compatible with posts, angle frames, channels, clips, U-bars, or custom hardware.

Selection Guide Stainless Steel Welded Wire Mesh Panels

Application	Recommended Material	Opening	Wire Diameter	Finish
Public-space barrier / isolation	SS304 / galvanized	50×100 to 75×75 mm	2.0–2.5 mm	Hot-dip galv. or PVC
Livestock fencing (goat/horse)	SS304/316 or Galfan	50×75 to 100×100 mm	2.0–2.67 mm	Galfan / PVC
Machine guards & cages	Stainless steel	12.7×12.7 to 25.4×25.4 mm	1.6–2.5 mm	Bare SS / PVC
Fan & vent covers	Stainless or galvanized	12–25 mm	1.0–1.6 mm	Bare SS
Earth stabilization baskets	Galfan / hot-dip galv.	50×50 to 100×100 mm	2.5–4.0 mm	HDG / Galfan
Decorative infill panels	SS304/316	25×25 to 50×50 mm	2.0–3.0 mm	Bare SS / powder / PVC

For harsh marine or chemically aggressive areas, upgrade to SS316/316L and consider PVC or powder coating for a low-glare appearance and extra environmental barrier.

FAQS Stainless Steel Welded Wire Mesh Panels

What materials and grades are available?

Stainless steel (SS201, SS304/304L, SS316/316L), Galfan (zinc–aluminum alloy), galvanized iron, and electro-galvanized “E-metal.” Stainless is preferred for longevity and cleanliness.

What opening sizes and wire diameters can I get?

Standard range is 10–300 mm openings with 0.5–6.0 mm wire in square or rectangular apertures. Tighter or oversized meshes can be made on request.

Panels vs. rolls—what’s the difference?

Panels are rigid, flat, and ready to frame or mount (ideal for fencing, guards, infill). Rolls are economical for long runs and can be cut to size on site.

Which stainless grade should I choose—304 or 316?

Use 304/304L for most environments. Choose 316/316L in coastal, chemical, or de-icing salt exposure for better corrosion resistance.

What surface finishes are available?

Electric-galvanized, hot-dip galvanized, and PVC-coated (various colors). Bare stainless needs no coating but can also be powder coated for low glare and added protection.

Do stainless steel welded wire mesh panels rust?

They’re highly corrosion-resistant. In harsh or salty air, pick 316/316L and consider a dark coating (PVC or powder) to reduce glare and add an extra barrier.

Can you powder coat stainless?

Yes. Powder coating provides a uniform dark finish, reduces reflectivity, and protects welds—especially useful for stainless steel welded wire mesh panels used outdoors.

How strong are the welds?

The cross wires are resistance-welded at each intersection for fixed geometry and high shear strength. Panel rigidity increases with thicker wire and smaller openings.

What tolerances do you hold?

Typical production tolerances: panel length/width ±3 mm; opening ±2 mm (center-to-center). Tighter tolerances are available for engineered projects.

Can I cut, bend, or frame the panels?

Yes. Panels can be cut (shear, saw, cutoff wheel) and formed within reason. Deburr edges and use compatible stainless hardware/frames to avoid galvanic corrosion.

What are common fencing specs?

Popular choices: 50×100 mm (2″×4″), 50×75 mm (2″×3″), 75×75 mm (3″×3″), 100×100 mm (4″×4″) with 1.8–2.5 mm wire. Widths typically 0.5–1.8 m; rolls often 30 m.

Where are these panels typically used?

Civil barriers and pedestrian isolation, livestock fencing, machine guards, equipment cages, cable/pipe support, fan/vent covers, decorative infill, and earth-stabilization baskets.

What should I specify when requesting a quote?

Material/grade, 2) opening size & shape, 3) wire diameter, 4) panel or roll dimensions, 5) finish (bare SS/galv/PVC/powder), 6) quantity, 7) packing requirements.

How are panels and rolls packed?

Panels: bundled with edge/corner protectors, strapped to pallets, shrink-wrapped or crated. Rolls: moisture-proof film + waterproof paper; labeled by mesh, wire, size, finish, lot.

Do you offer custom colors and branding?

Yes. PVC or powder coatings in custom RAL colors, plus private labels, barcodes, and pallet marks for retail or project deliveries.

What certifications can you provide?

Upon request: material certificates and typical compliance such as CE/ISO/RoHS for applicable product scopes and coatings.

How do I maintain the panels?

Rinse periodically with mild detergent and water; avoid bleach or mixing chemicals. Inspect coastal installations more frequently and clean off salts or pollutants.
