SELECTION GUIDE

Understand the Dimensions Before You Specify

Use this guide to prepare your inquiry. Available sizes, materials, fabrication methods and suitability require drawing review.

Original dimension schematic · Not to scale; no specification, stock or load rating is implied. t illustrates thickness in side view. Perforated holes show a straight layout; confirm the actual arrangement on drawings.

Parameter	Meaning	What to provide
LWD / SWD · long / short way pitch	Distance between adjacent bond centres along the long / short way of the mesh.	Give both directions and units; distinguish pitch from clear opening size.
w · strand width	Width of the metal strand forming the opening.	Specify strand width separately from thickness.
t · sheet / mesh thickness	Original sheet thickness and overall formed mesh thickness can differ.	State what is measured and whether flattened mesh is needed; confirm on drawings.
L × W · panel size & orientation	Overall panel size and mesh orientation relative to installation.	Give panel size, cut edges, framing and installation direction.

Still Choosing Your Specifications?

Start with the application, indoor or outdoor conditions, quantity and destination. Attach drawings if available, and distinguish pitch, clear opening and thickness definitions.

For load bearing, barriers or machinery guards, project requirements must establish loads, supports, connections and applicable standards. Mesh diagrams do not replace engineering or safety validation.
