Welded wire mesh There are quite a few uses for welded wire mesh panels such as: protective dividers, flat shakers and sifters for mining operations, infill panels, security panels, partitioned cages, and as decorative or architectural additions. Wire mesh panels are also used as sections of fencing in agricultural applications. In most cases, welded wire mesh is typically fabricated from stainless steel, but there are many other metals and alloys from which these products can be made. The type of metal or alloy chosen for fabrication, as well as other characteristics, such as mesh size, pattern, and wire diameter are quite versatile and depend upon the particular use for which the wire mesh panel is being designed.
