From architectural landmarks to family farms, this metal mesh is ubiquitous.
As an indispensable material for global infrastructure construction and daily life, welded wire mesh plays a vital role in construction, agriculture, industry, and domestic settings worldwide due to its durability and versatility.
Welded wire mesh is a mesh material made from high-quality low-carbon steel wire or stainless steel wire through automated welding equipment. It features a flat surface and strong welds. Partnering with an experienced welded wire mesh manufacturer ensures consistently precise welding and reliable product performance. Depending on the surface treatment, it can be divided into various types, including galvanized welded wire mesh, stainless steel welded wire mesh, PVC welded wire mesh, and plastic-coated welded wire mesh.

The production process of welded wire mesh is computer-controlled, ensuring strong welds and uniform mesh size. It comes in various specifications, with longitudinal spacing typically 100/150/200mm and transverse spacing ranging from 100 to 400mm. The maximum mesh size can reach 12m × 3.4m, meeting the needs of various application scenarios.
In the international market, welded wire mesh has different names depending on the application scenario and region. Understanding these terms is crucial for expanding overseas business:
Welded Wire Mesh: A general term applicable to all types of welded wire mesh.
Welded Wire Fence:Typically refers to welded wire mesh used for fencing purposes.
*Wire Fencing: Generally refers to wire fencing products.
Electric Fence:Specifically refers to electrified fencing, requiring the use of electric fence conductors.
Structural Welded Wire Mesh: Structural welded wire mesh used for reinforcement in building engineering.
These terms can be used flexibly according to different markets and application areas to accurately meet customer needs.
Construction and Engineering Applications:Welded wire mesh plays a vital role in the construction industry. It can be used as crack-resistant mesh, bridge and tunnel reinforcement material, road paving, and fencing, etc.
In external wall insulation systems, galvanized welded wire mesh is placed on the outside of polystyrene boards, forming a single unit with the wall, greatly improving the building's insulation performance. Welded wire mesh, as a high-efficiency energy-saving material for construction, can save more than 30% of steel usage, reduce labor hours by 50%-70%, and lower the risk of concrete cracking by 75%.
Welded wire mesh has been widely used in many landmark projects, including the Beijing Olympic venues.
Agriculture is another important market for welded wire mesh, commonly used in:
Livestock Fencing: Used for livestock fencing and poultry cages
Mink Cages: New-style mink cages use galvanized welded wire mesh with 1-inch mesh size and 2mm wire diameter, which is easy to manage and has a smooth surface that will not scratch the mink.
Farm Fencing: Used as farm boundary fencing and partitioning fencing.
Crop Support: Can be used for horticultural support in some cases.
Welded wire mesh is widely used in the industrial field, including:
Machine Protective Covers: Protecting the safety of equipment operators.
Industrial Isolation Fences: Delineating factory areas. Ensuring Safe Production
Storage Containers: Such as egg baskets, food baskets, wastepaper baskets, etc.
Civilian and Household Applications
Welded metal mesh can also be seen in daily life:
Pavilion Fences: Used for family gardens and yard enclosures
Pet Fences: Safe spaces for keeping pets
Decorative Fences: Fences that combine protection and decoration
Safety Protection: Window guards, passageway fences, etc.
As a major global production base for welded metal mesh, China, particularly Anping County in Hebei Province, is known as the "Hometown of Wire Mesh in China," boasting over 500 years of history in the wire mesh industry. Statistics show that Anping County has over 13,000 wire mesh enterprises of various sizes, producing over 6 major series, more than 400 varieties, and over 6,000 specifications of products.
China's welded metal mesh products are exported to more than 190 countries and regions worldwide, with woven wire mesh production, sales, and exports accounting for over 80% of the national total. In 2023, the county's total foreign trade exports exceeded 4 billion yuan, and in the first half of 2024, exports reached 2.27 billion yuan, fully demonstrating the competitiveness of Chinese welded metal mesh in the international market.
Hebei Yangzhe Metal Wire Mesh Products Co., Ltd. leverages this industrial advantage to provide customers with a variety of high-quality welded metal mesh products. The company strictly adheres to the ISO 9001-2015 ISO 14001-2015 ISO 45001-2018 international standard to ensure product quality reaches international advanced levels.
Choosing the right welded metal mesh from reliable wire mesh fencing factory requires considering the following factors:
Usage Environment: For outdoor use, galvanized, dip-coated, or PVC-coated products should be selected to improve corrosion resistance.
Protection Requirements: Select appropriate mesh size and wire diameter based on the protected object.
Installation Conditions: Consider the terrain's undulations and select products of appropriate specifications.
Budget Constraints: Choose the product with the best cost-performance ratio while meeting usage requirements.
Depending on different application scenarios, welded metal mesh can be manufactured using different processes such as welding before electro-galvanizing, welding before hot-dip galvanizing, welding before dip-coating, or galvanizing before welding.
