what's the difference between mesh wire roll and hardware cloth
Hardware cloth comes in 3-, 4-, 5-, and 6-foot rollsâwith 3â² and 4â² being the most common â and in roll lengths anywhere from 5, 25, 50 to 100 feet. The mesh is made by weaving or welding steel wires together, then hot-dipping it in zinc (galvanizing it) to protect it from rust.
Hardware Cloth is a hot-dipped galvanized woven or welded mesh. It has a light gauge (usually between 2 and 8 mesh). Heavy Zinc coating provides maximum protection and extra durability. Hardware cloth has an unlimited number of applications around the home, business, or farm. 19 GAUGE. Size of Mesh: 1/2 x 1/2.
