Trench Mesh is typically used to reinforce footings at the beginning of the construction process.
Trench mesh is a specialised steel reinforcement product designed to strengthen concrete footings at the foundation stage of construction. By placing trench mesh into the trench before pouring concrete, the structural footings gain increased durability and resistance to cracking. This reinforcement is essential for ensuring the long-term integrity of slabs and supporting structures.
Readily available in a range of sizes and specifications, Neumann Steel’s trench mesh provides a reliable and efficient solution for builders and contractors. Our trench mesh is supplied in standard lengths and can be easily trimmed on-site using grinders or bolt cutters to meet the specific needs of your project.

What is Trench Mesh?
Trench mesh is a high-strength steel mesh used to reinforce concrete footings, ensuring stability and durability in construction projects. Concrete alone, while strong in compression, lacks the necessary tensile strength to resist cracking under pressure. By incorporating trench mesh, builders can significantly enhance the performance and longevity of concrete foundations.
Neumann Steel’s trench mesh is available in a variety of specifications, including NF8TM3, NF8TM4, NF11TM3, NF11TM4, NF12TM3, NF12TM4, NF12TM5, and NF16TM3. These mesh sizes, traditionally known in construction as SL8TM3, SL8TM4, SL11TM3, SL11TM4, SL12TM3, SL12TM4, SL12TM5, and SL16TM3, provide superior reinforcement for a wide range of foundation applications.
Why Trench Mesh is so effective?
Trench Mesh is a lightweight reinforcing mesh, this makes it easy to work with on the construction site. It can be rapidly moved into place and trimmed using grinders or bolt cutters where needed ready for the concrete to be poured.
It is also available in a range of sizes and specifications so it is suitable for all engineering requirements of the project.
