Persistent rust issues with traditional orchard netting may soon become a thing of the past. Concerns about zinc toxicity in galvanized mesh harming bird populations are also being addressed with an innovative alternative: 19-gauge stainless steel welded wire mesh, offering superior corrosion resistance and structural reliability for comprehensive orchard and avian protection.
Constructed from high-grade stainless steel, this welded mesh demonstrates exceptional resistance to corrosion. Unlike conventional galvanized netting, the stainless steel material effectively withstands moisture, acidic conditions, and other environmental factors, significantly extending service life while reducing maintenance requirements. These properties make it particularly valuable for food industry applications where hygiene standards are paramount.
The mesh features a precisely engineered 13mm × 13mm (½" × ½") square aperture configuration that achieves an optimal balance between weight efficiency and structural integrity. This dimensional specification proves effective at deterring avian and small animal intrusions while maintaining adequate airflow and sunlight penetration—critical factors for healthy plant development. The lightweight design facilitates straightforward installation and handling.
Fabricated using 19-gauge stainless steel wire (approximately 1mm diameter), the welded joints create a rigid matrix with enhanced tensile strength. While sharing the same wire diameter as conventional poultry netting, the welded construction delivers superior stability and resistance to deformation under mechanical stress, providing more dependable long-term protection.
While both products utilize 19-gauge wire, the welded mesh's square pattern and rigid joints offer distinct advantages over flexible hexagonal poultry netting. The welded construction demonstrates greater structural stability, higher tensile strength, and improved resistance to deformation under load—qualities essential for demanding protective applications.
Available in 90cm and 1.2m roll heights, proper specification requires consideration of both aperture size and wire gauge relative to intended use. Applications involving smaller species may necessitate tighter mesh spacing, while high-stress environments may benefit from heavier gauge alternatives.
With its combination of corrosion resistance, structural reliability, and multifunctional adaptability, 19-gauge stainless steel welded mesh presents a compelling solution for agricultural protection and avian housing requirements, offering long-term performance without the limitations of conventional materials.
