In ground installations, mesh choice can have a significant impact on the project&#;s success. In addition to their versatility, galvanised weld mesh rolls of 1&#; size are a preferred option for a variety of compelling reasons. The 1&#; mesh size strikes the perfect balance between openness and structural support. In addition to allowing ample airflow and visibility, it effectively contains or supports materials and organisms.

Its openings are perfectly spaced to allow plants to intertwine their tendrils while providing the stability they need to flourish in gardening and landscaping.

The 1&#; mesh also acts as a trustworthy barrier when it comes to protecting poultry, rabbits, and other small animals in enclosures. While still allowing for proper ventilation and visibility, it prevents escape and ensures protection from potential predators.

In areas prone to erosion, this mesh can serve as a soil stabiliser. By holding topsoil in place while allowing water to flow through, it prevents soil erosion. If slopes or embankments need to be maintained, this feature is invaluable.

1&#; mesh is also instrumental in managing drainage. Whether used over drainage ditches, gravel beds, or in landscaping to direct water flow, it filters debris and prevents clogging, ensuring efficient drainage systems.

In addition to its durability, galvanised weld mesh is highly favored for ground installations due to its protective zinc coating. Your project will last longer since it can withstand moisture and soil exposure.

Installation is a breeze with this mesh. In order to maintain tautness and stability, ground stakes or U-shaped garden pins can be used to secure it to the ground. Moreover, its flexibility makes it easy to customise, ensuring that it fits specific project dimensions without requiring complex modifications.

For ground installations, like creating plant supports or animal barriers:

• Lay the mesh flat on the ground.
• Secure the corners using U-shaped garden pins or stakes. Ensure the mesh lies flat and stretches out taut.
• Drive in additional pins at regular intervals along the mesh edges for added stability.

Is there a difference between the term "fabric" and the term "mesh"?  I have always referred to it as fabric, but a colleague suggested that a mesh and a fabric are different terms to be used based on the gage of the wire.

30 years ago, welded wire mesh was a common term... now welded wire fabric seems to be the norm... I'm not aware of any distinction.

Welded wire reinforcement is used by the WRI.  I know of no real difference.  The wire size and all that is determined by your callout.

Wire mesh is also a name for another product with uses unrelated to concrete

Don't remember the source, but have heard the product that comes in rolls referred to as "fabric", the product that comes in flat sheets "mesh". Have seen the two used interchangeably.Wire mesh is also a name for another product with uses unrelated to concrete

SRE:
Not aware of that distinction... I've seen both spec'd to be in flat sheets.  My standard notes stipulate flat sheets but have changed the text from WWM to WW Fabric... don't use WWF.

Chain-link fences are specified as fabric of certain height, gage and fabric opening space. Welded wire fabric can be bought in rolls or flat sheets, depending on the gage. CRSI Design Handbook refers to it as

welded wire fabric

. Masonry joints are reinforced with welded wire reinforcement and it comes in strips that fit within the CMU width.

dik - Probably just the way local contractor's refer to the rolls & sheet. I have rarely used either (like fibers better).
