Description
Trench Mesh – Concrete Reinforcement
Trench Mesh is a factory-welded grid of high-tensile steel wire, engineered as primary reinforcement for concrete in footings and ground-supported slabs. It efficiently distributes structural loads and controls shrinkage cracking, ensuring the long-term durability and performance of concrete elements. Available in convenient 6.0m long sheets with widths from 200mm to 500mm, and in various bar configurations (3-Bar to 6-Bar), it provides a compliant, labour-saving alternative to manual rebar fixing.
