What Is Hardware Cloth?

Hardware cloth is a hot-dipped galvanized woven or welded mesh. The hot-dipped galvanizing process entails the immersion of the metal material into a vat of molten zinc. The metal reacts with the zinc to form a coating on the surface that helps to prevent corrosion. Our galvanized welded mesh features a heavy zinc coating that provides maximum protection and extra durability. Hardware cloth has an unlimited number of applications around the home, business, or farm. It has a light gauge (usually between 2 and 8 mesh).
