Reinforcing mesh sheets are used to add tensile strength when laying concrete slabs. They are a premade steel reinforcement material that is fabricated by welding wires together.

Traditionally these sheets are large and difficult to carry, let alone lay by yourself.

They will not fit on a standard ute due to their size which means a truck is needed for transportation to site.

On the other hand, Ute-Sized Mesh can be carried on a ute since it measures just 4m x 2m.

The smaller size also allows easier handling and installation which also makes it ideal for small and tight spaces.

Here are a few projects where Ute-Sized Mesh may be more beneficial and economical than using standard-sized steel reinforcing mesh.

Concreting walkway or patio

A walkway and patio is an area that handles a lot of traffic from pedestrians.

Reinforcing mesh adds strength and prevents cracking of the concrete.

Since a walkway is a relatively small concrete reinforcing project, it’s likely that using Ute-Sized Mesh will be far more economical than having a few sheets of regular-sized mesh delivered.

Residential concrete slabs

Residential concrete slabs require additional strength from steel reinforcing mesh.

If your space is tight with little room to maneuver, you may benefit from using a Ute-Sized Mesh.

Many contractors prefer to use Ute-Sized Mesh due to the ease of installation and transportation.

Small concrete jobs

The smaller size of Ute-Sized Mesh makes it perfect for small concrete jobs like pathways, dog runs or patios that require a small volume of steel reinforcing mesh.
