Due to its attractive price point and its corrosion resistance, galvanized wire mesh is very popular among industrial users of wire mesh. Galvanized is not a metal or alloy; it is a process in which a protective zinc coating is applied to steel to prevent rusting. In the wire mesh industry, however, it is often treated as a separate category because of its wide spread use in all types of applications.

Intercrimp or Lock Crimp are very popular for custom manufactured galvanized woven wire mesh. It is usually reserved for opening sizes ½” and larger.
