16 Gauge Galvanised Welded Wire Mesh Rolls

These 16 Gauge Galvanised Welded Wire Mesh Rolls provide a strong, flexible and versatile solution for fencing, animal enclosures, gardening, security and general outdoor applications. Manufactured from steel and finished with a protective galvanised coating, the welded mesh helps resist corrosion and rust, making it suitable for a wide range of indoor and outdoor projects.

The 16 Gauge wire is approximately 1.6mm thick, providing a useful balance between strength, flexibility and ease of handling. Each mesh intersection is welded to create a strong and stable structure, while the roll format makes the mesh convenient to transport, unroll and cut to the required length.

Available with 25mm x 25mm and 50mm x 50mm apertures, this range provides options for applications requiring either smaller or larger mesh openings. The 25mm aperture is particularly useful for smaller animal enclosures, hutches, chicken runs and garden projects, while the 50mm aperture offers a larger opening for fencing, larger animal enclosures, security and general-purpose outdoor applications.

With roll heights of 0.6m and 1.8m, and supplied in 10m, 25m and 30m lengths depending on the variant, these galvanised welded wire mesh rolls can be used for projects ranging from smaller garden applications through to taller fencing installations.

Strong 16 Gauge Welded Construction

The 16 Gauge steel wire is approximately 1.6mm thick, providing a practical balance between strength and flexibility.

Every mesh intersection is welded to create a consistent and stable structure. This provides greater rigidity than loose woven wire mesh while retaining the flexibility and convenience of a roll format.

The mesh can be unrolled along fencing lines, cut to size and secured to suitable posts, frames or structures.

Choice of Mesh Apertures

25mm x 25mm Aperture

The 25mm x 25mm aperture provides a smaller mesh opening and is suitable for applications where closer containment is required.

Typical uses include:

• Small animal enclosures
• Rabbit hutches
• Chicken runs
• Pet cages
• Aviaries
• Garden projects
• Plant protection

50mm x 50mm Aperture

The 50mm x 50mm aperture provides a larger opening while retaining the strength and rigidity of the welded construction.

It is suitable for:

• General fencing
• Larger animal enclosures
• Dog fencing
• Security applications
• Garden fencing
• Agricultural projects
• General-purpose outdoor mesh

Wire Gauge Guide

Wire gauge refers to the diameter or thickness of the wire. The higher the gauge number, the thinner the wire.

• 12 Gauge – approx. 2.5mm
• 14 Gauge – approx. 2.0mm
• 15 Gauge – approx. 1.8mm
• 16 Gauge – approx. 1.6mm
• 18 Gauge – approx. 1.2mm
• 19 Gauge – approx. 1.0mm

The 16 Gauge, approximately 1.6mm wire used in these rolls provides a useful middle ground between the heavier 12 Gauge mesh and finer 19 Gauge mesh.

Galvanised Finish & Cutting

The galvanised finish provides a protective zinc coating designed to help protect the steel against moisture, corrosion and rust. This makes the mesh suitable for a variety of outdoor fencing, garden and animal enclosure applications.

When the mesh is cut, newly exposed steel at the cut edge may be more vulnerable to corrosion. For enhanced long-term protection, protect exposed cut ends with galvanising spray or suitable metal paint after cutting.

Roll Format & Installation

The roll format makes this welded wire mesh convenient to transport, handle and install. It can be unrolled and cut to suit the required fencing or enclosure dimensions.

For timber posts and frames, secure the mesh using suitable galvanised U-nails, staples or other appropriate fixings. The mesh can also be secured to compatible steel structures using suitable mechanical fixings or welded where appropriate.

Installation Guidance

1. Measure the area and determine the required mesh height and length.
2. Install suitable timber or metal posts or a supporting frame.
3. Unroll the mesh along the required installation line.
4. Cut the mesh to the required length using suitable mesh-cutting tools.
5. Position the mesh against the supporting posts or frame.
6. Secure the mesh using suitable galvanised fixings.
7. Join adjoining sections securely where required.
8. Check the completed installation for stability.
9. Protect exposed cut ends where additional corrosion protection is required.

Choose posts, fixings and supporting structures suitable for the intended application.
