Product Information

Full details

This Actiaspet Welded Wire Mesh, in a 1-inch by 1-inch aperture and 19-gauge wire, is designed for hobbyists and pet owners needing durable containment solutions for aviaries or small animal enclosures. Its key benefit is robust protection due to hot-dipped galvanization after welding. A caveat is its fixed width of 24 inches, limiting its application for larger, custom-sized projects without additional fabrication.

FAQs

What is the aperture size of this mesh?

The aperture size is 1 inch by 1 inch (approximately 2.54 cm x 2.54 cm).

What is the wire gauge?

The wire gauge is 19-gauge, offering a good balance of strength and flexibility.

Is the mesh suitable for outdoor use?

Yes, the hot-dipped galvanized finish provides excellent resistance to rust and corrosion, making it suitable for outdoor applications.

How is the mesh protected against rust?

The mesh is hot-dipped galvanized *after* welding, which creates a durable, protective zinc coating over the entire piece, including the weld points.

Can this mesh be used for larger animals?

This mesh is best suited for small pets and birds. For larger or stronger animals, a thicker gauge wire and smaller aperture might be necessary for adequate security.

What is the total length of the roll?

The roll is 15 meters (approximately 49.21 feet) in length.

What is the width of the mesh?

The width of the mesh is 24 inches (600mm).

Troubleshooting

Mesh is difficult to cut

Ensure you are using heavy-duty wire cutters or tin snips. For thicker sections, multiple cuts may be required.

Galvanized coating appears uneven

This is normal for hot-dipped galvanization and does not affect the protective qualities of the coating.

Rust spots appearing prematurely

Inspect for damage to the galvanized layer. Ensure the mesh is not in constant contact with highly acidic or alkaline materials. Clean affected areas and consider applying a rust-inhibiting sealant if necessary.

Edges are sharp after cutting

Always wear thick work gloves when handling and cutting the mesh. Use pliers to bend any particularly sharp edges inward or away from access points.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Excellent corrosion resistance due to hot-dipped galvanization.
  • Strong and durable welded construction.
  • Suitable size aperture for small pets and birds.
  • Long roll length offers good value.
  • Easy to cut and shape for DIY projects.

Cons

  • Fixed width of 24 inches may require seams for wider enclosures.
  • 19-gauge wire might be too thick for very delicate crafting.
  • Galvanized finish may have a slight odor initially.
  • Not suitable for heavy-duty applications requiring thicker gauge wire.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

This wire mesh is designed for straightforward use in DIY projects. It can be cut using heavy-duty wire cutters or tin snips. For assembly, use zip ties, wire, or staple guns with appropriate fasteners to attach it to frames (wood, metal, etc.). Always wear protective gloves when handling the mesh to avoid sharp edges.

Compatibility:

This product is ideal for use with standard construction materials like lumber, metal framing, and plastic sheeting. It is compatible with most common animal enclosure designs, including aviaries, pet cages, garden fencing, and protective barriers.

Care:

To maintain its longevity, periodically inspect the mesh for any signs of damage or excessive corrosion. Clean the mesh with water and a mild detergent if necessary, rinsing thoroughly. Ensure good airflow around structures made with the mesh to prevent moisture buildup. Avoid using abrasive cleaners or harsh chemicals that could damage the galvanized coating.
