Wire mesh is often used in aviaries or as a screen to keep pet birds safe and to protect against pests and predators. Customers often find stainless steel, aluminum and galvanized mesh suitable for this type of application.

T-304 stainless steel - in particular, T-304 stainless steel welded specifications - is often specified for aviary use because it offers excellent corrosion resistance and a long life cycle when properly cared for. Additionally, it is characterized as more consistent and clean than a comparable galvanized mesh. T-316 stainless steel is sometimes requested in marine and salt-water applications.

Aside from selecting the appropriate material, determining the suitable mesh opening size and diameter wire is critical. It is important to keep in mind the size and temperament of the bird and/or pest. The items featured here represent many of the popular items that our aviary and bird screen customers tend to specify. Should you not see your desired specification, please contact us. We also offer custom manufacturing for non-standard requirements.

Additional Information N/A

Welded wire mesh specifications are commonly used in a wide array of industrial and non-industrial applications, including animal caging, critter and varmint control, agricultural use, air vents, basket fabrication, food applications, aviary and bird screen, industrial separation fan and machine guards, security retention, basket fabrication, industrial separation and soffit screens.

Residential do-it-yourselfers gravitate towards these specific items because they offer tremendous value and versatility for projects around the home. In most normal environments, stainless steel will have a longer life cycle than a comparable galvanized mesh.

It is important to distinguish between T-304 stainless steel and T-316 stainless steel. T-304 stainless steel is more popular and more widespread in it use, while T-316 stainless steel is generally reserved for marine environments as it offers a higher resistance to corrosion.

The items listed on this website represent many of the most requested specifications of stainless steel welded wire mesh. These items are available from stock or can be custom manufactured. Should you not see your preferred specification, please contact us to discuss your requirements.
Popular Industries and Applications N/A Like virtually all wire mesh and wire cloth, stainless steel welded wire mesh lends itself for use in architectural, agricultural, commercial and industrial applications. Here are a handful of popular uses for T-304 stainless steel and T-316 stainless steel welded wire mesh:
  • Infill panel & railing systems
