Unconventional Use Of Welded Wire Mesh

A welded wire mesh is created by joining wires in a grid-like pattern by welding the joints to create a strong bond. To further enhance the connection, they are galvanized before or after welding. Galvanizing is a process wherein the steel mesh is dipped in a molten zinc bath to coat it with a non-corrosive layer. A welded wire mesh has numerous uses, including in construction, landscaping and more. However, there is another unique use of welded wire mesh which will be explored below.

Welded Wire Mesh For Kit Protection

For the uninitiated, a kit is a baby rabbit. These rabbits are particularly vulnerable to predators during the first few weeks after birth. Hence, it is essential to keep them safe and secure. This is where a welded wire mesh comes into the picture.

The wire mesh cage made for kits is a lot different from regular animal cages. Made of 14 gauge steel mesh, it has opening dimensions of 1/2’X1’’X1’’’, which is a very small opening, so the kits are very unlikely to escape or be taken from their cage. 

Therefore, for those raising rabbits and other small animals on their property, this 14 gauge welded wire mesh is an ideal choice. Apart from this unique application, welded wire mesh is also used as a railing, guarding, bird screen, animal control barrier and more.

Furthermore, the wire mesh offered by Ferrier Wire is galvanized after welding, meaning it has been galvanized after the welding process. This actually results in a stronger, more robust wire mesh.
