Description
Trench Mesh – Structural Concrete Reinforcement
Trench Mesh is a factory-welded grid of ribbed steel wire, specifically designed as a primary reinforcement for concrete in ground contact. It efficiently distributes loads and controls shrinkage cracking within concrete footings, beams, and ground slabs. Available in practical 6.0m lengths with widths from 200mm to 500mm, and in 3 to 6-bar configurations, it provides a compliant, off-the-shelf solution that saves significant time and labour compared to onsite bar fixing.
