Metal wire mesh is often found in caging and enclosure applications. It is used by many zoos to create cages for animals, like monkeys or sheep. Also individuals use the mesh to create cages and enclosures for dogs, birds, chickens, rabbits etc.

Materials

It is available in steel and stainless steel:

Steel  

Steel represents very good value and is widely used in applications where its weld-ability, strength, and economy make it a popular option.

Stainless steel

Stainless steel is often used for caging and enclosure applications. The wide range of grades of stainless steels can be produced as crimped mesh to improve performance in corrosion resistance, formability, and aesthetics.

Characteristics

Abrasion and wear proof

Rugged and tough design

Long service life

High resistance against corrosion

Great stability

Specifications

Crimped wire mesh data sheets

Depending upon the specific caging and enclosure application, crimped mesh can be woven to obtain a desired opening size. For example, small animals will require a smaller opening size and thinner wire diameter. Certainly, big animals, like horse or sheep will need a larger opening size and thick wire diameter.
