The difference between welded and woven products
The difference between welded and woven products
We all know welded products and woven products are different, but do you know the detailed differences between them? There are the answers.
Welded products - the zinc coating is burnt off during the welding process. The welded points where the horizontal and vertical wires intersect are left unprotected and exposed to rust and corrosion. Therefore in wet weather, moisture would collect at the joint, hastening the process. But it is true that zinc can "flow" from the areas adjacent to the burnt intersection, the weld spot can’t regain its complete protection. These are the type of products you usually see in your local building supply store and garden center. Differences in gauge, mesh opening size and height are considerable, between them, you can find a product which can meet your needs. It is important to keep in mind the fact that these items have a limited lifetime. Welded GBW fencing materials are relatively inexpensive and utilitarian.
Besides, woven products - these have not any welded areas and therefore have not the same vulnerability. These range from light weight hex netting up to field fence and heavy gauge woven high tensile deer and wildlife fence. The heavier fences have an relatively long lifetime, especially those galvanizing with Class 3 galvanizing. Of course, this kind of material is relatively expensive compared with welded products.
Above all, the detailed differences between welded and woven materials may serve as the important consideration when you choose the related products or materials.
