Vinyl Coated Hardware Cloth Is Best
Posted by Frank Langone on Mon, Jul 12, 2010
Did you know that hardware cloth is available with a vinyl coated finish? Many people think that these wire meshes are only available with a galvanized after finish.
Both 1/2"x1/2" welded mesh with a 19 gauge "core" wire and 1/4"x1/4" welded mesh with a 23 gauge "core" wire are available with a black vinyl coating. The coating is firmly bonded to the wire. The vinyl will not crack or split when the wire is bent. 100' rolls are available in 24", 36" and 48" widths.
If you need to use hardware cloth for your next project, consider the advantages of using mesh that is black vinyl coated:
- durable
- longest lifetime
- easy to work with
- excellent for underground gopher barriers
- double protection of galvanizing and vinyl coating resists rust and corrosion
- attractive - black color blends with background, becoming virtually invisible
Do you have any unique projects you would like to share that use these vinyl coated meshes?
