Wire Mesh from Oregon Wire
WIRE MESH / REMESH
When steel wires are crossed together, it forms a wire mesh (aka welded wire fabric) that is useful for a wide range of applications. We can break these down into two general categories: reinforcement and filtering.
Oregon Wire can make you custom sized wire mesh for a variety of projects at home and on the work site.
WIRE MESH COMMON USES

REINFORCEMENT
In construction, wire mesh is a great tool for reinforcement in concrete and asphalt applications, helping to reinforce roadways, walkways and floors and reducing the risk of cracks and deterioration of concrete without the added expense of rebar. Mesh is also useful in applications requiring a combination of flexibility, mobility and support (conveyor belts, for example).
FILTERING
The principle behind filtering is to trap certain things while letting other things through. The permeability of wire mesh makes it perfect for all sorts of filtering applications. On a larger scale, wire mesh is used to manage falling rocks from cliff sides, or even as ball stops at driving ranges and batting cages. On a smaller scale, thin wire mesh is useful in kitchen strainers and other household items.
Wire mesh is available in a wide range of tensile strengths and grid size. We carry 8' x 20' sheets for quick pick-up from our warehouse.
