### **Welded Wire Meshes and Fences**

*What are they?*

- As the name implies, they are made from wires that have been welded into a mesh.
- In most cases, the same gauge of wire is used throughout the roll.
- Welded joints are rigid and have little flexibility.
- Many welded products with larger openings are used as fencing.
- Mesh sizes can range from 1/2" x 1/2" up to 6" x 6".
- Meshes with smaller openings are usually made with lighter gauge wires.
- These are mostly used as screening.
- Some specifications of welded meshes are vinyl coated.

**What are their uses?**

- Welded fencing is ideal to use on flat terrain where little flexibility is necessary.
- Some examples of uses:

                   **-** Swimming pool fences  
                  **-** Cages for animals  
                  **-** Garden fences  
                  **-** Dog kennels  
                  **-** Partition dividers

                  **-** Railing safety panel inserts

### **Woven Wire Meshes and Fences**

*What are they?*

- Fences made by weaving the wires into a mesh.
- Different gauge wires are sometimes used in the same roll.
- Woven joints are flexible yet very strong.
- There are a wide variety of mesh size openings available.
- Hexagonal netting (chicken wire), field and farm fence, deer and wildlife fence, chain link and ornamental fence are some examples.

**What are their uses?**

- Woven wire fences are ideal to use in situations where the ground is uneven.
- The inherent flexibility allows the fence to adjust more easily to grade changes.
- Some examples of uses:

                  ** -** Garden fences  
                  **-** Horse paddocks  
                  **-** Boundary fence  
                  **-** Orchard fence  
                  **-** Farm fence

 

Keep these differences in mind when you are planning to install a fence. Which type do you want to use?
