Hardware cloth is a metal mesh material that is used predominantly for pest control screen and fencing. Hardware cloth is cut with tin snips and shaped for specific projects in a home or on a property.

 

  The larger openings including 2 and 4 Mesh are typically welded while the 8 Mesh is woven.   After welding or weaving, Industrial Hardware Grades are Hot-Dip-Galvanized to provide protection against rust.
