Welded wire mesh is a steel reinforcement fabric made from cold-drawn wire welded at every intersection into a square grid. In slab-on-grade work it does not carry the slab the way designed rebar does; it holds shrinkage and temperature cracks tight so they stay hairline instead of opening and spalling.

This is the common 6 x 6 - 10/10 pattern: a 6 in. grid of 10-gauge wire in both directions, supplied as a roll covering 750 square feet. Roll stock is handled by two workers, unrolled across the prepared subgrade and reverse-rolled or weighted to flatten before the pour.

Sheets are lapped one full square at the seams and tied, then lifted to the middle third of the slab thickness on chairs or mesh supports so the steel sits in the concrete rather than under it.

Key Features

• 6 in. x 6 in. square grid of 10-gauge wire welded at each intersection
• Roll covers 750 square feet
• Distributes shrinkage and temperature stresses to keep cracking hairline
• Cold-drawn steel wire; cuts to length with bolt cutters or a cut-off wheel
• Laps and ties readily with standard tie wire for continuous reinforcement
• Roll format covers large pour areas with fewer seams than cut sheets

Applications

• Slab-on-grade floors in garages, basements and utility buildings
• Driveways, walkways and patio slabs
• Concrete topping slabs and equipment pads
• Curb, gutter and flatwork reinforcement
• Thin shotcrete and stucco scratch coats over prepared substrates
