1.56mm Hole 304 Stainless Steel Wire Mesh Bug Netting – 0.25mm Wire – 14 LPI

Description

Stainless Steel Wire Mesh Bug Netting

1.56mm hole stainless steel insect mesh bug netting is designed specifically to allow good airflow through an opening, whilst at the same time preventing flies, wasps and other winged creatures from getting through.

The mesh bug netting is a robust and effective solution designed with quality and utility in mind. Made from 304-grade stainless steel, this woven wire mesh offers an ideal balance between strength and functionality. With a mesh count of 14 holes per linear inch, resulting in 196 holes per square inch, it provides ample ventilation while acting as a barrier against unwanted insects.

Despite its substantial open area of 75%, the mesh retains impressive strength, attributed to the 0.25mm thick wires. At points where two wires intersect, the mesh becomes even more robust, ensuring longevity and resistance against wear and tear. The square holes, or aperture, measuring at 1.56mm, are relatively large for insect screening purposes but remain effective in keeping bugs at bay. Such a design ensures that, while the mesh can breathe and allow airflow, it does not compromise its primary function as an insect barrier.

Ease of customization is another noteworthy feature. The mesh can be effortlessly trimmed to the desired size using standard kitchen scissors, allowing for a seamless fit in varied applications. While the primary use of this mesh is as bug netting, its durable structure and significant open area make it versatile for other purposes as well. Whether used in homes, gardens, or other outdoor spaces, this mesh guarantees a blend of protection and breathability, ensuring a comfortable and bug-free environment.

FAQs For This Product

Can The Mesh Bug Netting Prevent Small Insects Like No-See-Ums?

While the mesh bug netting features a hole size of 1.56mm, it’s designed to block out a majority of insects. However, no-see-ums, also known as biting midges, are very small insects. It’s possible that some might get through the 1.56mm openings due to their diminutive size. Consider a finer mesh or use the current netting in conjunction with other preventative measures if blocking no-see-ums is your primary concern.

We offer stainless steel midge mesh which should be fine enough to block vents and gaps from no-see-ums.

Can The Mesh Bug Netting Be Used In Greenhouses?

Yes, the mesh bug netting can be effectively used in greenhouses. Despite its 1.56mm hole size, it allows good airflow and light penetration, both of which are crucial for plant growth. 304-grade stainless steel ensures durability and corrosion resistance, making it suitable for greenhouse environments. You can protect your plants from harmful pests without using chemicals by using this netting in greenhouses.

Is The Mesh Bug Netting Available In Different Sizes Or Colours?

Yes to sizes. This mesh is made to 30 metre x 1.2 metre rolls, so any sizes within that is possible.

We do not offer other colours for stainless steel, but insect mesh is available in black, grey and white fibreglass.
