Steel Mesh Partitions
Steel mesh consists of a series of low carbon or stainless steel wire strands that are arranged in perpendicular fashion and electrically welded together at their points of contact. The all-welded structure produces a strong, uniform and durable product that can be used in commercial and industrial settings.

Sometimes called welded fabric, steel wire mesh is used widely in a number of industries including mining, farming and construction for partitioning, storage and security purposes. They can also be used to reinforce concrete and retaining walls.

Types of Steel Mesh
Steel mesh can be categorized by the way they are made, their unique characteristics, and applications:

Electro Galvanized Steel Mesh Partitions:
This type of steel mesh is designed for fencing and other infrastructural projects. The wire mesh is galvanized after welding and possesses excellent corrosion resistance and oxidation resistance. Electric galvanized welded wire is available in different forms for construction, fences and other industrial uses.

Hot-dipped Galvanized Steel Mesh Partitions
Made using plain steel wire, it goes through a hot zinc covering process to make it anti-corrosive. This type of welded mesh is also galvanized after welding, and can resist “white rust” without requiring a sealant. Hot-dipped galvanized wire mesh is ideal for animal cages, grills, wire partitions, grates, and safety fencing for machinery.

PVC Coated Steel Mesh Partitions:
Made with high quality galvanized iron or low carbon steel, this welded steel mesh type features a smooth plastic coating that increases its durability. PVC coated wire mesh is mostly used for residential and commercial fencing, as well as outdoor recreational areas. All kinds of colored coating are available to meet client specifications.

Stainless Steel Welded Mesh Partitions:
This type of welded wire is mostly used in making industrial fencing and heavy-duty wire partitioning systems. Made with high-grade stainless steel, it possesses rigidity and strength. Corrosion-resistant, it is widely used in the transportation, agricultural, and mining industries.

Welded Wire Partitions and Gauge Sizes
Welded wire partitions are typically made using a series of galvanized steel wires arranged perpendicularly and welded together at their points of contact. This allows welded wire partitions to better maintain their shape when it is being stressed.

When making wire partitions, the wire diameter, or gauge, is an important factor in determining the specifications. There are many different wire sizes that can be used in their fabrication. However, selecting the right gauge depends on the steel wire's final use – as a single wire strand, to make welded wire partitions or security fencing.

The gauge value originally referred to the number of draws needed to make the required diameter. The first draw was called 1-gauge, the second 2-gauge, the third 3-gauge, etc. This is why thick wires have a lower gauge number. For example, a 9-gauge wire is thicker than 14-gauge wire because it requires fewer "draws".

The same gauge numbers are used in different countries, unfortunately they refer to different wire diameters. This has become a great cause of confusion. Nowadays, many companies prefer to measure wire diameters in millimeters or inches instead of gauge numbers.

Welded Wire Partitions
Although welded wire partitions are available in a variety of wire gauges:
6-gauge and 10-gauge wire are the industry standard. 6-gauge is a heavier duty wire and measures approximately 0.192 inches thick. 10-gauge wire measures approximately 0.135 inches. Both gauges work for the majority of applications, although the thicker and more expensive 6-gauge wire provides a sturdier panel.

Welded Wire Gauges and Sizes
There are many different combinations of wire gauge and mesh size available. The diameter of the steel strands used can vary depending to the application. Generally, the thicker the wire, the smaller the gauge number is.

Four numbers are used to define the thickness of the wire mesh. For example, if we look at this dimension: 6 x 6 x W 2.1 x W 2.1. The first two numbers (6 x 6) indicate the lengthwise spacing and crosswise spacing of the wire, both in inches; the last two values (W 2.1 x W 2.1) are W numbers that indicate the size of the cross-sectional area in the wire in hundredths of an inch.

Why are Wire Mesh Partitions Popular?

Nowadays wire mesh partitions have virtually replaced chain link fencing as the security barrier of choice. They are widely used as both temporary and permanent fencing around residential, commercial and government buildings. There are several reasons for this preference.

1. Wire mesh partitions are architecturally pleasing
Fencing and gates are considered as an extension of the main building. With their typical square or rectangular shape, wire mesh partitions go well with many aspects of the building's architecture, such as the tiles, bricks and windows. Therefore, they are generally seen as more architecturally pleasing than other fencing alternatives.

2. Wire mesh partitions offer better security.
New terrorist threats have placed a heavy emphasis on better security. Thanks to its all-welded construction and tubular design, wire mesh partitions have a very high strength and rigidity when compared to traditional wire partitions. The problem with chain link fences is that they provide very little "delay factor". In other words, depending on how they are attacked, someone using bolt cutters can breach a chain link fence in as little as 20 seconds. To breach a wire partition panel, it would take more than bolt cutters.

3. Wire partitions are more versatile.
The modularity of wire mesh partitions makes it easier to install than chain link fencing. Chain link needs to be stretched in opposite directions to be properly installed. Because of this, in some cases it's very difficult to fill small but important gaps. A welded wire mesh partition panel is much easier to cut and shape, which makes it the right fencing to use in tight spaces around buildings and other constraints.
