People call galvanized hardware cloth by many different names, including, hot dipped screen wire, galvanized screen wire, or galvanized mesh. Sometimes its’ use is a name, like soffit screen or gopher screen, raccoon mesh, etc. It is an economical choice for industrial, agricultural and some residential uses. All hardware cloth is first woven or welded from steel wire and then dipped in a bath of molten zinc. This heavy zinc coating is also called galvanizing, serves to protect the mesh from corrosion, and stabilizes the crossover points of the wires, which makes them non-raveling. This family of meshes is sturdy, economical and heavy; not pretty and pricey.

Welded Hardware Cloth

The 1-inch mesh (1 mesh), the 2 mesh, and 4 mesh .025 inch are electrically welded before its galvanizing bath.

Woven Hardware Cloth

Minnow Traps are made from our Heavy Three Mesh (3x3 mesh) Galvanized after woven mesh. The heavy wire makes it heavy enough to sink the wooden framed traps without additional weights. Some of our customers allow the mesh to "weather" outdoors for a season to reduce the shiny appearance that may scare the minnows.
