Hardware Cloth

Whether it’s around the home, in the garden, or beyond, hardware cloth can be quite useful. Also called wire mesh, it’s easy-to-install and can be the answer to many home maintenance occasions. Before you make any purchases, it’s important to understand the different types and how they’re used.

Welded wire mesh is what you typically see in gardens to keep out pests that might eat the plants. But, it can also be fitted on house vents to allow circulation while ensuring no debris enters. Since the wire grid is welded together at each cross section, the mesh is very durable. Screen mesh, also called mesh screen, often has smaller openings that can be used in windows or patios to keep small bugs and other outdoor elements out.
