1.36mm Hole Galvanised Steel Wire Mesh Sheet – 0.45mm Wire – 14 LPI

Description

Galvanised Steel Wire Mesh Sheet

1.36mm hole heavy duty galvanised steel wire mesh sheet made from 0.45mm wire. This mesh is strong and course. Ideal for use as a rodent screen for rats and mice.

The galvanised steel wire mesh sheet offers both durability and versatility, suitable for a variety of applications. Designed with a mesh count of 14 holes per linear inch, it presents a total of 1196 holes per square inch, providing a balance between solidity and permeability. Each wire in the mesh has a thickness of 0.45mm, giving it strength, while the point where two wires meet is naturally thicker. The square hole or aperture size measures 1.36mm, ensuring a considerable open area, which stands at 57%. This standard open area percentage indicates that the mesh is neither too dense nor too sparse, making it suitable for many purposes, from fencing to screening.

One of the primary benefits of using galvanised steel for this mesh sheet is its resistance to corrosion, enhancing its lifespan and utility in outdoor conditions. Furthermore, the process of galvanisation involves coating the steel with a protective layer of zinc, which not only imparts rust resistance but also adds to the mesh’s overall toughness.

For those looking to modify or customise the size of their mesh sheet, it’s straightforward. The material can be cut using standard scissors or tin snips, providing flexibility in installation and use. Whether you’re aiming to use it in agriculture, construction, or DIY projects, the galvanised steel wire mesh sheet offers a robust and reliable solution.

Mesh Specification

Below are the specifications of this galvanised steel wire mesh roll:

• Mesh Count = 14 holes per linear inch. The amount of holes measured against a straight line inch
• Holes / Wires Per Square Inch = 1196 holes per square inch. The amount of holes per linear inch squared
• Wire Thickness = 0.45mm. The thickness of each wire. The structure is thicker than this where two wires meet
• Hole Size / Aperture = 1.36mm. This is the square hole size from wire to wire
• Open Area % = 57%. The amount of the mesh that is open. The higher this number the more open a mesh is. This is a standard open area %
• Cut With – We cut this mesh with scissors or tin snips. We suggest that you do the same

This mesh sieve filters out particles larger than 0.57mm.

FAQs For This Galvanised Steel Mesh

How Galvanised Steel Wire Mesh Sheet React to Acidic Substances or Chemicals?

The galvanised steel wire mesh sheet is coated with a layer of zinc, which offers a certain degree of protection against corrosion. Zinc, however, can corrode or degrade when exposed to acidic substances or certain chemicals. Rust and corrosion can occur once this protective layer is compromised. This process can be accelerated by acidic environments. The galvanised finish is not immune to corrosion, especially when exposed to strong acids or corrosive chemicals. In environments in which mesh might come into contact with such substances, it’s important to be aware of this limitation and consider regular maintenance or a more chemically-resistant material like stainless steel.

Is This Mesh Suitable for Aquatic Environments Like Ponds or Fish Tanks?

Zinc is applied to the galvanised steel wire mesh sheet to prevent corrosion. A galvanised coating, however, may not be suitable for aquatic environments like ponds or fish tanks. The constant exposure to water, especially if it’s slightly acidic or contains salt, can cause the zinc coating to corrode. In addition, zinc can be toxic to aquatic life at high concentrations. Stainless steel mesh is a better choice for aquatic applications, as it offers superior corrosion resistance and doesn’t leach zinc into the water. Consider more suitable alternatives if you’re considering using galvanised mesh in a fish tank or pond.

Can the Galvanised Mesh Be Used in a Vertical Garden or Plant Wall?

Due to its fine structure, galvanised steel wire mesh sheets are not recommended for vertical gardens or plant walls. Although the mesh is sturdy, it may not provide enough support and space for plants to grow and thrive in a vertical arrangement. It would be difficult for climbing plants or those with tendrils to weave through the small apertures, and the fine holes would hinder adequate air circulation, which is crucial for plant health. The soil or growth medium may also clog the fine mesh, further restricting airflow and potentially causing rot or mould.

A coarser mesh or a specifically designed support system would be more appropriate for vertical gardens or plant walls.
