Expanded Metal - Security Mesh

Catalogue

Security Mesh PRODUCT DESCRIPTION Security mesh is made by simultaneously cutting and stretching a solid sheet of metal. This process makes Security Mesh one continuous sheet, stronger than the original solid sheet. Security Mesh cannot unravel at the strands. It is too strong to be cut with hand cutters and the openings are too small for cable or bolt cutters.

Weights, gauges and dimensions are subject to standard mill tolerances

METHOD OF ATTACHMENT 1. One-way screws - Screws should be long enough to penetrate through steel studs at least 1/4 inch.
2. Welding to Steel Studs - Security Mesh should be fillet welded to steel studs, 20 gauge or heavyer, not over 8 inches on center. Edge welds must be within 2 inches of edge.
3. Self Drilling Screws - Use pan head type long enough to penetrate through steel studs at least 1/4 inch.
4. Nailing - (For use with wood support) Nails should not be not be less than #11 gage barbed roofing nails which provide penetration into the support at least 1 3/8" or power driven staples wich will provide at least 3/4" penetration into the support.
5. End Joints of Security Mesh should be butted and occur over studs.
6. End Joints should be butted and wire-tied at mid point between supports.
7. If overlapping of material is necessary, a longer screw should be used to maintain 1/4" penetration.
