Wire Mesh Calculator
Calculate wire mesh requirements, material quantities, and cost estimates for construction, fencing, concrete reinforcement, and industrial applications.
Step 1: Area Dimensions
Area Measurements
Accurate area dimensions are crucial for calculating the correct amount of wire mesh. Include any overlaps required for structural integrity in your calculations.
Step 2: Mesh Specifications
About Wire Mesh
Wire mesh is measured by wire gauge (thickness) and opening size. Heavier gauges (lower numbers) are stronger but more expensive. Standard rolls are typically 50-100 ft long.

Material Information
10 AWG welded wire mesh with 4″ openings provides excellent strength for fencing and concrete reinforcement. Standard rolls are 5ft x 100ft (500 sq ft) or 4ft x 150ft (600 sq ft).
| Application | Recommended Gauge | Typical Opening |
|---|---|---|
| Concrete Reinforcement | 6-10 AWG | 4″ or 6″ |
| Security Fencing | 9-11 AWG | 2″ or 4″ |
| Garden Fencing | 14-16 AWG | 1″ or 2″ |
| Animal Enclosures | 12-14 AWG | 1″ or 2″ |
Material & Cost Breakdown
Material Calculation Formula
Total Mesh Area = (Area Length × Area Width × Overlap Factor)
Calculate total area by multiplying length and width. Apply overlap factor for seams (typically 10-20%). Divide by standard roll size to determine number of rolls needed.
