Opening / aperture
The aperture is the opening between adjacent wires. State the nominated opening dimensions, units and measurement convention from the drawing or specification. Welded mesh typically has square or rectangular openings; chain wire has diamond-shaped openings.
Wire diameter
Wire diameter is the thickness of the individual wire, not the mesh opening. Provide the nominated diameter and whether the specification measures the wire before or after coating. Aperture and wire diameter must be considered together with the fence design.
Coating, dimensions and quantities
Include the required galvanised coating or finish, panel width and height or roll width and length, and the number of panels or rolls. If a coating, standard or certification is nominated, provide the project specification for confirmation rather than assuming a generic mesh product meets it.
Application and supply confirmation
Commercial, security, industrial and rural projects have different requirements. No mesh option here is represented as meeting a specific security, wildlife or engineered compliance requirement. Confirm suitability with the project designer. Availability, coating, dimensions, order minimums and lead times are confirmed separately for each project and mesh option.
