2.47mm Hole Galvanised Steel Mesh Woven Wire – 0.71mm Wire – 8 LPI

Description

Galvanised Steel Woven Wire Mesh

2.47mm hole heavy duty galvanised mesh made from 0.71mm wire.

This galvanised steel woven wire mesh offers both durability and functionality. With a mesh count of 8 holes per linear inch, it equates to 64 holes per square inch, ensuring a consistent and balanced structure. Each wire in the mesh is 0.71mm thick. Notably, where two wires intersect, the thickness is greater, contributing to the mesh’s overall strength. The aperture or hole size is 2.47mm, providing a square shape from wire to wire.

With an open area percentage of 60%, this galvanised mesh ensures good visibility and airflow, an attribute especially beneficial for applications like beekeeping. The ample open area ensures bees can move freely while being protected. Its galvanised finish enhances its resilience against external factors, like weather, and offers added resistance against corrosion. For those looking to cut or adjust the mesh, tin snips are recommended, ensuring a clean and efficient cut.

In essence, this galvanised mesh is a preferred choice for those seeking a strong and durable solution, especially in beekeeping. Its design specifications, coupled with the protective properties of the galvanisation process, make it ideal for a range of applications beyond just beekeeping. Whether you’re aiming for protection, filtration, or enclosure, this mesh stands up to the task.

We also offer 8 LPI mesh in copper, black epoxy, brass and of course stainless steel.

Mesh Specification

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

FAQs For This Galvanised Steel Mesh

How Long Can Galvanised Mesh Last In Outdoor Conditions?

The lifespan of galvanised mesh in outdoor conditions is influenced by several factors, ranging from 10 to 50 years or more. It is important to consider the thickness of the zinc coating; a thicker coating generally offers greater corrosion protection. Environmental conditions also impact its durability. In regions with high salinity, pollution, or acidic rainfall, the protective zinc coating may corrode at a faster rate. However, in drier or less polluted areas, the mesh can remain intact for extended periods. Additionally, regular maintenance, such as cleaning and addressing minor rust spots, can further extend its lifespan.

Thus, while galvanised mesh is inherently durable, its longevity in outdoor conditions depends on specific environmental factors and upkeep.

What Is The Maximum Roll Size Available For This Mesh?

Most woven wire mesh is produced to a maximum of 30 metres x 1.2 metres. Any size within that is available.

Can Galvanised Steel Mesh Be Used In Coastal Areas With High Salinity?

It is possible to use galvanised steel woven wire mesh in coastal areas with high salinity. By coating steel with zinc, the galvanisation process protects it against corrosive effects of salt and moisture. However, while galvanised mesh offers improved resistance to corrosion compared to untreated steel, it’s worth noting that in highly saline environments, the lifespan of the galvanisation might be reduced. For long-term applications in such conditions, periodic checks and maintenance are recommended to ensure the mesh remains in good condition. Consider a marine-grade stainless steel mesh if maximum corrosion resistance is desired, especially for long-term installations.
