#6 mild steel mesh with 3.523mm aperture and 0.71mm wire. With 69% open area and solid structure, it’s ideal for guarding, sorting, and medium-coarse screening tasks. Strong and versatile, this mesh suits industrial, workshop, and fabrication needs where strength and ventilation are key.
Our #6 woven wire mesh made from plain mild steel features a 3.523mm aperture and a 0.71mm wire diameter, providing a strong, open, and durable solution for medium-coarse screening and guarding applications. With a 69% open area and a weight of 1.51 kg per square metre, this mesh is well-suited to jobs that require a balance of airflow, visibility, and mechanical strength. The #6 mesh count, meaning six holes per linear inch, delivers a consistently spaced pattern that is ideal for applications where medium-sized particles or debris need to be managed while maintaining ventilation and access.
The plain mild steel construction offers excellent formability and weldability, making this mesh easy to cut, shape, and fabricate to suit a wide range of projects. While it is not corrosion-resistant in its untreated form, it performs reliably in indoor or dry settings, or can be coated, painted, or galvanised after installation to enhance longevity. Its rigid structure and decent weight make it popular in industries such as engineering, agriculture, construction, and fabrication.
Typical uses include machine guards, protective screens, ventilation panels, storage cages, agricultural enclosures, and sorting trays. It can also be used as a support layer for filtration systems or as a reinforcement mesh in framework builds. Thanks to the moderate wire thickness and generous aperture, it allows large volumes of air or material to pass through while still holding its shape and resisting pressure.
Fabricators and tradespeople appreciate this mesh for its ease of handling, structural integrity, and versatile performance. Whether you’re constructing a physical barrier, building a custom ventilation panel, or needing a mesh that can support weight without blocking airflow, this #6 mild steel option offers dependable results. It is also a popular material in DIY and creative builds where a strong, industrial-style mesh is required.
Wire mesh materials are also available in brass, copper, galvanised steel and blue PVC.
