Steel Mesh — practical grid mesh for fencing, infill and walkways 

Steel mesh is one of those products that solves multiple problems at once: security, visibility, airflow and strength. Whether you’re enclosing a space, infilling a gate, or building safer access across a platform, the right mesh makes the job cleaner and longer-lasting.

Steelmart stocks metal steel mesh options suited to real-world use, including:

  • Galvanised welded mesh sheets for fencing, enclosures and safety barriers
  • Galvanised mesh infill sheets for gates and boundary fencing
  • Walkway mesh for grip and strength in high-traffic areas
  • Mild steel flat mesh for BBQ smokers (smoking rack mesh)

Galvanised welded mesh — the go-to for fencing and enclosures 

Galvanised welded mesh is a rigid grid mesh designed to handle outdoor conditions. It’s commonly used for:

  • fencing and property barriers
  • animal enclosures and cages
  • safety barriers and general protection zones

Because it’s galvanised, it offers strong corrosion resistance and suits most outdoor jobs without constant maintenance

Mesh infill sheets — a clean solution for gates and fencing 

If you’re building or upgrading gates and boundary fencing, mesh infill is a simple way to add security and a modern look without blocking airflow or visibility. Steelmart’s Galvanised Mesh Infill Sheets are made for this purpose and come in standard fence-friendly heights and lengths. 

Walkway mesh — strength + grip for high-traffic access areas 

For industrial and commercial access, walkway mesh is built for foot traffic, drainage and grip. Steelmart stocks walkway stainless steel wire mesh​ options in galvanised finishes (and mild steel options on selected patterns) for platforms, ramps, access ways and gantries 

Mild steel flat mesh — popular for BBQ smokers and custom racks  

For smokers and BBQ setups, Steelmart stocks a mild ss steel mesh​ flat mesh designed for BBQ applications — great for custom racks and heat distribution with no zinc contamination getting into your meat.
