Can wire mesh be used outdoors?

Yes. Wire mesh can be used outdoors, but you should choose a corrosion-resistant material. Stainless steel (304 or 316) is the best option for outdoor exposure. Galvanized steel is also suitable, but the protective coating can wear over time. Carbon steel and coated meshes may rust if exposed to weather for extended periods. PTFE-coated mesh is another strong outdoor option because it resists UV, chemicals, and weathering, though the coating can still wear with heavy abrasion.
