Features:
Flexibility: Hexagonal wire mesh is known for its flexibility, allowing it to be easily bent, shaped, and conform to different surfaces and structures.
Strength: Hexagonal wire mesh has good strength and durability, especially when made with thicker wires or higher-quality materials such as stainless steel.
Ventilation: The open hexagonal pattern provides good ventilation, making it suitable for applications such as poultry pens and greenhouses.
Ease of Installation: Hexagonal wire mesh is generally easy to cut, shape, and install.
Material Selection: Common materials include galvanized steel (electroplated or hot-dip galvanized), PVC-coated steel, and stainless steel.
Common Applications:
Fencing: Used in poultry pens, garden pens, and animal enclosures.
Reinforcement: In construction, it can reinforce plaster, cement, and other materials.
Gabions: Filled with stone to form retaining walls and erosion control structures.
Landscaping: Used in landscaping projects to provide erosion control, decoration, and support for plants.
Protection: Protect equipment, machinery, and sensitive areas from damage or intrusion.
Industrial Uses: Used in industrial settings for a variety of purposes including thermal insulation and pipe protection.
Crafts: Used in a variety of creative projects.
