TIP: Wire Type is a key consideration based on your durability and budget requirements. For example, Vinyl-Coated and Stainless fences offer maximum durability in extremely harsh conditions, while Galvanized Before Weld is a less durable but more budget-friendly option.

TIP: Determines durability and use. The lower the gauge number the thicker the wire, making low gauge fencing ideal for applications where strength and durability are required.

TIP: Smaller mesh opening is important for fencing in or out smaller animals, which could slip through a larger opening. Smaller openings also make for more rigid panels, making durability a secondary consideration.

TIP: Quite simply, taller fencing is required to fence in and out larger animals, and animals that can jump high.

TIP: GBW mesh is made from strands of galvanized wire welded together. During the welding process, the rust preventing galvanizing is burned off at the weld points where the wires intersect. These meshes are economical but have a limited lifetime. A general purpose mesh, ideal for low-cost fencing, kennels, cages, and a variety of other uses.

TIP: GAW mesh is made by dipping previously welded mesh into a bath of molten zinc. The entire mesh, including the welded areas, is thoroughly sealed and protected against rust. This wire is particularly useful for animal enclosures or other applications where rust prevention and long life is desired. Ideally suited for use as ground wire for bird enclosures and animal enclosures. (ZA (zinc aluminum for ag fences (one step between GAW & Vinyl Coated)

TIP: VC mesh is made by coating either galvanized before or galvanized after welded mesh with a thick layer of black or green PVC fused to the wire by a heat process, creating an attractive, tough, long-lasting, weather and chemical-resistant mesh. Vinyl coated meshes have the longest lifetime in any application. The 1-1/2"x1-1/2", 12-1/2" gauge mesh makes a particularly excellent floor for dog kennels.

TIP: SS welded wire mesh, strong and long lasting, needs no additional finish to protect it. The wire itself is extremely resistant to rust, corrosion and harsh chemicals. Use stainless mesh or fence in areas with prolonged exposure to salt and other corrosives.
