Stainless steel welded wire mesh is a durable mesh product made by welding high-quality stainless steel wires at their intersections. This creates a grid-like structure that is tough, long-lasting, and resistant to corrosion. Whether you need it for fencing, security, animal enclosures, or industrial machinery safety — this mesh delivers strength and reliability.
🔧 Materials and Grades Stainless Steel Welded Wire Mesh
At BMP, we manufacture stainless steel welded wire mesh using the following grades:
- 201 Stainless Steel – Affordable and decent corrosion resistance
- 304 Stainless Steel – Most popular, good corrosion resistance
- 316 Stainless Steel – Marine-grade, ideal for high corrosion environments
- 316L Stainless Steel – Extra low carbon, great for chemical resistance
- Custom materials available on request

❓ Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Q1: Can I use stainless steel welded wire mesh outdoors?
Yes, it is ideal for outdoor use because it resists rust, corrosion, and weathering.
Q2: Which stainless steel grade should I choose?
304 suits most uses, but go for 316/316L if your environment has high salt or chemical exposure.
Q3: What are the standard sizes available?
Widths: 0.4 – 2 meters | Lengths: 5 – 50 meters (custom sizes available)
Q4: Is it easy to install?
Yes. You can use clips, screws, or welding to fix the mesh easily.
📝 What to Consider Before Choosing a Stainless Steel Welded Wire Mesh
- Environmental Conditions – Salt, humidity, chemicals? Choose 316/316L.
- Strength Needs – Bigger wire diameter = stronger mesh.
- Mesh Size – Smaller holes for rodent or bird control, larger for pets or fences.
- Budget – 201 is more affordable; 316 is higher-end.
- Application – Security, hygiene, or decor? The right finish and size matter.
