Low Price Green PVC Coated Welded Wire Mesh: notes from the yard and the lab

If you’re scanning the market for pvc coated wire mesh for sale, here’s the straight talk: not all PVC coatings (or welds) are created equal. After a decade of walking job sites and peeking into coating lines, I’ve learned to check coating thickness, weld shear strength, and—crucially—how the mesh performs after salt-spray and UV. The green finish looks great against landscaping, sure, but the numbers underneath matter more.

What it is (and how it’s made)

The product here—Low Price Green PVC Coated Welded Wire Mesh—starts with low-carbon steel wire (sometimes stainless for special environments), welded into a grid, then zinc-treated and PVC coated. Some lines coat the wire first and weld later; others weld then coat. For outdoor use, I usually prefer weld-first + coat—it seals the joints better.

• Materials: low-carbon steel core (≈ Q195/Q235), zinc layer, UV-stabilized PVC topcoat.
• Processes: resistance welding, galvanizing (ASTM A641), organic coating (EN 10245-2), color matching (commonly RAL 6005).
• Tests: salt spray (ASTM B117), cross-cut adhesion (ISO 2409), UV aging (ISO 4892), weld shear checks; real-world durability varies by environment.
• Service life: suburban 10–15 yrs; coastal 5–10 yrs; industrial 7–12 yrs (ballpark).

Quick specifications

Where does it actually shine? Perimeter fencing, garden and animal enclosures, façade greening, HVAC and machine guards, light-duty concrete reinforcement, and temporary site barriers. Many customers say the green finish “disappears” against hedges—nice bonus.

Real test notes and certifications

• Salt spray (ASTM B117): 500–1,000 h no red rust on plane; welds hold to ≥ 500 h in most lots I saw.
• Adhesion (ISO 2409): Grade 0–1 (cut grid clean, no flaking), depending on batch and thickness.
• UV aging (ISO 4892-2): Color delta E small; gloss drop normal after 500 h.
• Quality system: ISO 9001; PVC compounding typically RoHS and REACH compliant (ask for SDS).

Vendor snapshot (why sourcing still matters)

Field snapshots

• Greenhouse grower, NSW: “No rust at the bends after a wet winter”—post 700 h salt-spray equivalent, still clean.
• Logistics yard, Midlands: 50×50 mm mesh survived forklift nicks; topcoat scuffed but adhesion held.
• Poultry farm, Queensland: fewer snags versus bare-galv; cleaning is easier (detergent + rinse).

Need pvc coated wire mesh for sale in black or custom aperture? Custom runs are doable—common packs are 25–30 m rolls, heights 0.9–1.8 m, colors green/black. Shipping from: Room 818, Lijing INTL BLDG, No.681 Xinhua Road, Shijiazhuang, Hebei, China. To be honest, request the coating thickness and B117 report with your PI—it’s the quickest sanity check.
