Stainless Steel (Flexible) Wire Mesh

04/15/2013 11:58 PM

Does anyone know of a North American source for stainless steel , flexible wire mesh like THIS below or the Twisted kind.

I need 15mm to 25mm mesh when open, .75 to 1.25mm dia. of wire.

Depth and length of roll irrelevant right now.

All i can find is stuff made in China. Any North American companies you all might know of ? ? ? ? I don't want to have to go through all of that overseas transaction stuff if i don't have to.

They also make it where the small cables are twisted INTO one anothern like a weave. THIS type shown here is clamped with a pnuematic type clip.

Either clamped or twisted will do if they meet the sizes I need.

thank you all for any help.

I need flexibility.

It has to be stainless, .50mm to .1.25mm dia. and no larger than 25mm opening.

Thanks.

Thomas net shows up with solid steel products and standard type poultry wire.

Biz net is still overseas.

It's not that i do not want Chinese made, its that i do not want the hassle of ordering from overseas and all the paper work and uncertainty that goes with it.

I need flexible SS wire mesh. .50mm to 1.25mm dia. and opening no larger than 25mm.

I am hoping there is a distributor here in the States that handles this unique mesh.

Thank you again.

No! No! No!

That was the old days ( last year) when they were still experimenting with pulses and waves length stuff. they'd hit the juice and the water would erupt in fish for 1/2 an acre. Now they claim to have just the right amount of juice to gently stun them enough so as they do not fight to escape the net and in they go.

nets are done, just looking for the right SS mesh to make the + and - segments with.

I'll let you all know what happens.

thank you again.

ha ha ha!

Brand new project. never used this stuff before. Solar eagle found me a USA distributor . Hopefully they have what i need.

There was a company in the UK that handled a really nice SS mesh years ago. They actually made fish trawls with it. Super heavy duty andm spendy.

But I woulod still have to place large orders and go though the Customs thing and wire transfer, etc. etc.

Thank you again, but I think i have what I need.

I'm not sure if this is what you're looking for... you can adjust the filters on the left side to view more or fewer products.

That would make a back up plan if the other company doesn't have the goods.

I seem to remember that product being used for rock retention in areas of the NYS Thruway where large formations of rock were prone to breaking off and falling in the road. You might have some luck contacting the maintenance department of NYS, or other states. There is a magazine devoted to road maintenance. Perhaps a search of road magazines would yield some advertisers looking to do business.

Thank you Bob. I saw that same netting in Oregon also. In Japan they use heavy , non metalic netting for the same purpose.

if i run short on the contacts already mentioned, i will certinly look into this.

I just need a much smaller diameter and mesh size.

.50-1.25mm dia. wire and 20-25mm mesh size... really light weight.

thank you.

That's called ferruled mesh.

A Google search of stainless ferruled mesh yields many images like you show. It appears there are many offshore manufacturers, I don't see any USA guys.

This used for fencing... have you contacted a local fence contractor, see if he can get what you are after? The quantities you mention are probably too small and irregular to attract a manufacturer.

I have spent the morning on the phone and have come up with "0". Everything over seas and needing big orders and long delivery times.

One guy eluded to a company in or around Alvin Texas that made something like i need. Any one has any notions on what company he was referring to? he declined to say.

thank you.

Often we have to remember the old way we can get information , when there was no internet.

Yellow pages, friends, or any cue it make us to reach the target.

"One guy alluded to a company in or around Alvin Texas that made something like I need. Any one has any notions on what company he was referring to? he declined to say."

I happen to know someone in Alvin TX; I've sent him an e-mail, including the link to this thread, and a copy of the portion of Post #25 that I've quoted above. I explained the need you have, and asked if he knows of any company in or around there that either does, or can, provide the flexible stainless mesh. Let's see what happens . . . .

Re: Stainless Steel (Flexible) Wire Mesh

Well that was above and beyond the call of duty. Many thanks. i'm guessing Alvin is not such a large place that if there is a company making SS mesh type wire, it would be known. So far, I've only found a company in Nevada ( Tempec) that sells fine mesh used in heat protection. I am getting a sample but i do not if it can hold up. Its .2mm wire. We will see. it has to be flexible for sure but can it withstand constant bending abnd flexing???

thank you Ron for taking the time to contact your contact.

I've forwarded a PM to Netmaker with the response I got. More here, later - but I did get some possible leads for him to follow.

Here is what I got from Alvin, Texas:

"I think the company referred to is Amistco- http://amistco.com/ , a division of AMACS - http://www.amacs.com/about-us/ , As a matter of fact my son is a design draftsman with Amacs! They make separation mesh for refinery and chemical plant use in product filtration. Nothing like the guy is looking for. There is another place here that is quite well known- Woven Metals http://www.wovenmetal.com/WMP/WMP_Home.html
That is a more likely source.

You could get some European quality wire mesh over here. Its definitely worth to take a look, all industrial quality.

In the initial post, Netman asks for a NORTH AMERICAN source, not once, but twice. Later, he emphasises the need for a FLEXIBLE mesh, not something like hardware cloth. I don't see either of those requirements being met at this site - do I need to scroll down, or go through a set of sub-menus to find something suiting Netman's needs?
