BRC WIRE MESH IS COMMONLY USED IN ROLLS FOR APPLICATIONS SUCH AS LIGHTWEIGHT FENCING OR GENERAL BOUNDARY DEMARCATION, WHILE THE MORE RIGID, HEAVY-DUTY “HARD DRAWN” BRC MESH FOR CONCRETE REINFORCEMENT IS TYPICALLY SOLD IN FLAT SHEETS. THE ROLLED MESH, OFTEN GALVANIZED OR PVC COATED, OFFERS FLEXIBILITY AND EASE OF TRANSPORT FOR VARIOUS GENERAL PURPOSE USES.

MATERIAL AND COMPOSITION
BRC WIRE MESH IN ROLL FORM IS GENERALLY MADE FROM STEEL WIRE AND FINISHED WITH A PROTECTIVE COATING:

GALVANIZED IRON (GI): THIS IS THE MOST COMMON AND COST-EFFECTIVE FINISH. THE ZINC COATING PROTECTS THE STEEL FROM RUST AND CORROSION, MAKING IT SUITABLE FOR OUTDOOR USE.

PVC COATED: FOR ENHANCED DURABILITY AND AESTHETIC APPEAL (TYPICALLY IN GREEN, BLUE, OR BLACK), A LAYER OF PVC IS APPLIED OVER THE GALVANIZED WIRE.

STRUCTURE: WIRES ARE GENERALLY THINNER THAN THOSE USED IN FLAT-SHEET CONCRETE MESH, AND THE WELDING PROCESS ENSURES THE GRID STRUCTURE REMAINS INTACT EVEN WHEN ROLLED.

COMMON APPLICATIONS
THE FLEXIBILITY OF ROLLED BRC MESH MAKES IT SUITABLE FOR VARIOUS LIGHT TO MEDIUM-DUTY APPLICATIONS:

FENCING: GENERAL PURPOSE BOUNDARY FENCING FOR GARDENS, SMALL ANIMAL ENCLOSURES, AND HOUSING ESTATES.

SECURITY: LIGHTWEIGHT SECURITY MESH FOR WINDOWS OR TEMPORARY BARRIERS.

DIY PROJECTS: VERSATILE MATERIAL FOR VARIOUS DOMESTIC AND LANDSCAPING USES.

SPECIFICATIONS
SPECIFICATIONS FOR ROLLED BRC WIRE MESH USUALLY FOCUS ON EASE OF HANDLING AND GENERAL UTILITY:

LENGTH: ROLLS ARE TYPICALLY 40 TO 50 FEET (15 TO 18 METERS) IN LENGTH.

WIRE DIAMETER/GAUGE: THINNER WIRES ARE USED, OFTEN AROUND 1.6MM (16 GAUGE) TO 2.5MM (10 GAUGE).

MESH OPENING: POPULAR SIZES INCLUDE 1″ X 1″ (25MM X 25MM), 2″ X 2″ (50MM X 50MM), AND 3″ X 3″ (75MM X 75MM).
