Warp Wires, Shute Wires, Crimped Mesh and more
There are two types of woven wire hardware cloth: woven and crimped. Many of these styles are made as heavy meshes for very specialized uses, such as sifting screens. In both woven and crimped wire cloth meshes, the warp wires are those running the length of the roll. The wires running across the width are called shute wires.

Many of these wire cloth meshes are made for industrial uses. They are very specialized and are not usually available in retail stores.
