0.5 Inch Carbon Steel Mesh

About 0.5 Inch Carbon Steel Mesh

Expanded Metal is produced from solid sheets or plates of carbon, galvanized and stainless steel, as well as aluminum and a variety of alloys of copper, nickel, silver, titanium and other metals. Because expanded metal is made from a solid sheet of metal, and it is not woven or welded - it can never unravel.

To produce expanded metal, a sheet or plate is simultaneously slit and stretched. This process expands the cuts into diamond shaped holes of uniform size and shape. Because no metal is lost in the expanding process, expanded metal is cost effective and saves energy by conserving material and allowing the fabrication to go further and do more.

When choosing expanded metal for your fence application, you will need to determine which style or diamond size is best for your application. Expanded metal designations are indicated by SWD (the measurement on the short way of diamond), while the second number may specify the gauge of metal, the weight per hundred sq. foot, or have some other significance.

Another consideration when ordering expanded metal mesh panels is the actual metal strand width and metal strand thickness. These are important because they contribute the actual opening size of the diamond and the % open area or visibility through the fence.

Niles Fence has standardized this for fencing applications and below is a comprehensive table of nominal weights and dimensions.
