Steel mesh (like on trailers)

[drsmile]

Where can I find some diamond mesh like it used on trailers? I have a tailer I want to add some to the side walls. I just need the material.

Expanded metal is what your looking for. I've got plenty around the shop, or could get what you need but there's a good distance between us. Just look up welding or fabrication shops in your area, they should be able to help you out

They will have anything you can imagine in the way of perforated or expanded metal. I use them for specifying anytime I have the need for architectural metals.

Hope that helps!

I think this depends on what exactly you are looking for.

Perforated metal = expanded metal , this stuff is made with a huge die, they punch out all of the holes in a pattern.

Wire Cloth is when they weave wires together to make a pattern which ends up in a mesh pattern.

I would try 1 of 3 sources for all of this material OTHER than Mcnichols:

Compare and contrast price - 10 minutes of research can always save a boat load of cash.
