We’ve outlined the key reasons why wire mesh fencing is growing in popularity and how it can benefit you.

What Makes Steel Wire Mesh a Smart Choice for Fencing?
1) Durability.
Steel is renowned for its toughness. Extreme heat, strong wind and torrential rain are no match for steel fencing. While wood and vinyl fences may warp, peel, and crack, steel will withstand the passage of time. Galvanized and welded stainless steel wire mesh are especially resistant to corrosion.
2) Cost-Effectiveness.
In the long term, wire mesh proves to be a highly cost-effective option, as it requires minimal repairs and upkeep, leading to significant savings on maintenance expenses.
3) Versatility.
Through material and design options, wire mesh panels and rolls can create infinite variations. You can even use steel mesh to create gabions, a sculptural enclosure for stones that can double as fencing. Here are a few more varieties of fencing featuring wire mesh.
Welded wire fences are created through resistance welding, which adds rigidity and strength. Welded wire panels may be mounted to wood or welded to steel framing.
In galvanized wire mesh fencing, the wire is coated with a zinc alloy to boost corrosion resistance. Again, it may be mounted to wood or other framing. Another variation is galvanized wire mesh dipped in black polyester coating.
Woven wire fencing features interlocking wires in a pattern. Hex mesh (AKA chicken wire) is a well-known example.
4) Low-Maintenance.
Maintaining a fence can be labor-intensive, but with a steel fence, you can sit back and relax. Thanks to its durability and low maintenance needs, a simple spray with a garden hose every now and then is all it takes to keep it looking great.
5) Affordable Security. 
Hardware cloth is a variety of wire mesh that’s great for security fencing, as its small diameter openings make climbing difficult. What’s more, hardware cloth fencing is a price-savvy option with a lower price point than other security fencing such as solid walls.
6) Architectural Advantages.
With exquisite weave patterns and many gauge choices, hardware cloth and other types of wire mesh can accomplish architectural design goals, such as filtering sunlight for lowered heating costs.
As another example, let’s say you’re looking to create a safety fence around a seaside deck. How can you create a safe hangout spot while also maximizing views? Galvanized wire mesh panels are ideal for this fencing conundrum. They’ll meet your design goals while also standing up to tough marine conditions.
7) Added Gardening Space. 
Wire mesh can double as vertical gardening space in a snap; just add S-hooks to hold plants. While you’re adding a fence, why not enjoy a living privacy screen as well?
