Coronavirus (COVID-19) Information
At the moment, we are processing and dispatching orders however delivery days may be possible due to the Coronavirus situation. Having anticipated short supplies of goods at the beginning of the year, we have filled our warehouse with stock. Whilst a certain product may be out of stock on our website, we will have an alternative option available which will be in stock – please feel free to ask our live chat agents for alternatives if you cannot find a suitable product for your application.
We may find that over the next few days or weeks that the speed of service we take pride in providing may be delayed slightly, either due to the requirement for staff members to self-isolate, or due to the pressures on the courier networks. Should this issue arise, we will do our very best to keep you fully informed, and rest assured that we will do everything possible to dispatch and deliver your order. If we could ask that you bear with us that would be very much appreciated, especially in the case of potential delivery issues. Some delivery delays may be unavoidable, as all UK courier networks are at full capacity due to unprecedented levels of deliveries, combined with a potential shortage of drivers due to self-isolation requirements.

Details
Stainless steel is highly resistant to corrosion, and therefore is longer lasting than a galvanized finish mesh. Stainless steel is commonly used in the food industry, but has a wide variety of applications where a higher level of rust resistance is required.
This product is a medium to heavy-weight welded wire mesh, which is an excellent choice for strong, long lasting bird protection against large and small birds. As well as birds, this mesh will also keep out rats and squirrels.
The 16 gauge wire (approx. 1.6mm thick), combined with the small 13mm hole size, provides the mesh with strength and rigidity.
Specification
- Material: Grade 304 stainless steel.
- Hole size: 13mm (1/2 inch).
- Wire thickness: 16 gauge (1.6mm).
- Weight per square metre: Approx. 2500 grams.
- Roll Heights: The heights of the rolls are manufactured to imperial measurements (feet and inches). We have rounded down the metric height conversions for simplicity. The accurate metric height is as follows: 1220mm (4ft) high.
All measurements +/- 15%. If you require a micrometer reading of the wire thickness then please call us on 01782 820 970.

How rigid is this mesh?
Could it be used as a support for plant pots on a 3ft wide table frame?
Thank you for the enquiry.
The 6mm x 6mm welded mesh is a light-weight mesh (similar to the type of mesh you would see on a bird nut-feeder). Therefore, I doubt that it would be strong enough to support the plant pots.
If you are looking for a more rigid mesh, then our 13mm x 13mm 16 gauge welded mesh is stronger. I should add that even this more rigid mesh may need some additional support, depending on the weight of the plant pots.
What is the % Free Area of this mesh?
Thank you for the enquiry.
The open area of the 13mm x 13mm 16 gauge welded stainless mesh is around 76%.
I want to make a cowling to go over the top of a chimney stack. What mesh would you recommend?
Thank you for the enquiry.
A 25mm x 25mm hole welded mesh will keep larger birds out, such as pigeons, crows, jackdaws. If you want to keep out smaller birds as well, then you should use 13mm x 13mm hole welded mesh. The 19 gauge lightweight mesh is strong enough to keep the birds out, but is quite flexible. If you require a stronger, more rigid mesh then please select 16 gauge.
Some of our customers use a stainless steel mesh for a longer lasting cowl
