Galvanized welded wire mesh is formed by welding intersecting low-carbon steel wires as the base material, then treated with hot-dip galvanizing or electro galvanizing for anti-corrosion. It boasts excellent rust resistance and neat mesh surfaces, and is widely used in various indoor and outdoor projects including fences, breeding cages and building reinforcement. Wanzhi Group supplies mesh rolls and panels processed by GBW pre-weld galvanizing and GAW post-weld galvanizing. We offer a full range of wire diameters, shapes and apertures, and can customize multi-color PVC-coated welded wire mesh.

GBW vs GAW Welded Wire Mesh Comparison
There are two galvanization processes for welded wire mesh: GBW and GAW. GBW is low-cost with various sizes, but bare welds rust easily for indoor use only. GAW coats the whole mesh including joints with zinc, offering great durability for indoor and harsh outdoor applications.
GI Welded Wire Mesh Gauges & Aperture Dimensions
Galvanized welded wire mesh has two core dimension indicators: wire gauge (wire diameter) and mesh aperture (opening size). Wanzhi Group can customize all sizes per project requirements. Below are mainstream standard wire gauges and mesh apertures.
Common Wire Gauge Specifications
Wire thickness separates the products into heavy-duty thick wire mesh and fine screen mesh. “Ga” is short for gauge, an ASTM AWG grading unit: higher gauge numbers mean thinner steel wires.
| Wire Gauge (AWG) | Wire Diameter | Mesh Type | Core Application |
| 10 Ga | 2.59 mm | Heavy-duty thick mesh | Security fence, building reinforcement |
| 12 Ga | 2.05 mm | Heavy-duty thick mesh | Livestock yard fencing |
| 14 Ga | 1.63 mm | General fine mesh | Poultry cages, pest isolation |
| 16 Ga | 1.29 mm | Ultra-fine mesh | Bird cages, indoor guard |
| Heavy Ga (≤8AWG) | ≥3.26 mm | Extra heavy-duty mesh | Industrial barrier, gabion mesh |
Common Mesh Aperture Sizes
Aperture sizes categorize mesh: tiny openings form fine metal screens, while square or rectangular holes serve as standard general-purpose mesh.
| Aperture Size | Mesh Type | Usage |
| 1/2″×1″ | Rectangular fine screen mesh | Anti-rodent, chicken cage |
| 1″×2″ | Rectangular general mesh | General breeding, garden guard |
| 2″×2″ | Square standard mesh | Outdoor farm perimeter fence |
| 2″×4″ | Rectangular large fence mesh | Construction, slope protection |
| 4″×4″ / 6″×6″ | Large square mesh | Construction reinforcement mesh, slope protection |
Galvanized Welded Wire Mesh Usages
Galvanized welded mesh boasts strong rust resistance, stable welding structure and wide adaptability to meet isolation, protection and reinforcement demands across multiple industries.
- Agricultural breeding: Used as chicken cages, rabbit hutches, livestock isolation fences, farm boundary enclosures and seedling protection nets.
- Construction engineering: Applied for concrete reinforcement mesh, wall plastering anti-crack mesh, foundation protection and temporary construction safety barriers.
- Road & municipal works: Serves as highway guardrail inner mesh, sidewalk isolation net, green belt protection net and municipal ditch cover support mesh.
- Industrial factory use: Made into storage rack partitions, equipment protective enclosures, workshop isolation fences and mechanical safety shielding nets.
- Aquaculture industry: Acts as fish pond separation nets, crab breeding cages and aquatic product anti-escape isolation meshes.
- Garden & landscape: Used for garden fence nets, plant climbing trellises, lawn isolation barriers and anti-rodent garden bottom nets.
- Household & daily use: Processed into pet cages, storage baskets, window anti-theft mesh and balcony safety protective nets.
- Mine & water conservancy: Adopts for mine slope protection mesh, river bank anti-erosion mesh and reservoir isolation blocking mesh.
Types of Welded Wire Mesh
Structure, application, wire diameter, shape and performance categorize welded mesh into four core categories: standard galvanized welded wire mesh, concrete welded wire fabric (WWF), stainless steel welded mesh and PVC-coated welded mesh. Wanzhi Group supplies all four series, with customizable wire diameter, aperture size, coating thickness and packaging, plus fast global delivery.
- Galvanized Welded Wire Mesh: The zinc coating tightly adheres to the wire surface, providing effective sealing and anti-corrosion protection for improved durability. Available in roll and panel forms, this mesh is widely used in building structures, animal cages, fences, grilles and partitions.
- Welded Wire Fabric (WWF): WWF is a prefabricated steel reinforcement material manufactured by spot welding and roll forming. Its standard wire diameter is 6.0 mm, with an adjustable range of 5.0 to 6.0 mm according to construction requirements. Wire spacing and specifications can be customized based on concrete thickness. Featuring high strength-to-weight ratio and cost efficiency, it is a preferred reinforcing material for concrete structures and highway engineering.
- Stainless Steel Welded Wire Mesh: Stainless steel welded mesh delivers superior surface finish, excellent corrosion resistance and long service life, offering stable overall performance in harsh environments. Though its cost is higher than ordinary galvanized mesh, it serves as the optimal choice for high-standard and long-term projects with sufficient budgets.
- PVC-Coated Welded Wire Mesh: This mesh adopts mild steel wire or galvanized wire as the base material, with a protective PVC layer coated after welding. Common colors are green, white and black, among which black is the most popular. The PVC coating greatly enhances corrosion and weather resistance. It is commonly used for garden fencing, plant supports, breeding cages, concrete reinforcement and sports field fences.
Maintenance Tips
- Routine cleaning, dry placement and coating protection greatly prolong the service life of welded mesh.
- Clean surface dirt, salt and chemical residues regularly with clean water to avoid coating corrosion.
- Keep the mesh dry; drain accumulated water timely in damp or coastal areas.
- Avoid scratches, heavy impact and sharp cutting to protect zinc/PVC anti-rust coating.
- Touch up scratched coating with dedicated zinc-rich paint or PVC repair coating.
- Check welded joints periodically; reinforce loose welding spots promptly.
- Clear piled soil, weeds and debris to reduce long-term moisture erosion.
