QUALITY ASPECTS
The most important elements to judge the quality of
wire fence and wire netting are:
Wire thickness;
The size of the meshes;
The degree of protection against corrosion.
As wire fence is mainly destined to keep what's yours "inside" and
to keep the rest "outside", it is obvious that a thicker wire and smaller
meshes will be better to achieve the stated objective.
When buying wire fence you should therefore pay attention
to wire-thickness and the size of the meshes.
Often the difference in quality can simply be determined
by weighing the products!
Furthermore protection against corrosion also plays an important part;
the plastic-coated types have to have a galvanised wire core, which offers a double
protection against corrosion;
all
products have this double protection element.
For the galvanised products, it is important that the product
is galvanised after weaving or welding, thus the galvanised layer
is 10 times thicker compared to products made from normal galvanised wire
; all Giardino-products are galvanised after weaving or welding.
GARDEN FENCE, type GARDENPLAST
This popular type is brought on the market by different suppliers;
unfortunately for this product the meshes become increasingly larger
and the thickness of the wire becomes THINNER;
a good control of the offered quality is thus certainly needed!
The
products "GARDENPLAST" and "GARDENPLAST STRONG" still comply with
the traditional demands and have meshes of 4"x 2" as well as a thick wire,
the STRONG-type even has three upper wires.
AVIARY NET
Once again we have chosen quality for our Giardino-products;
thus the thinnest wire measures 0.8 mm at mesh 1/2", instead
of 0.65 mm as
from other manufacturers.
The difference in strength is considerable as the difference in wire thickness amounts to approx
40%. This difference in wire thickness is also present in the plastic-coated types and varies from 1.1 mm and 0.9 mm.
Consequently Giardino stands for products with a long life.
The wire thickness of the
AVIARY NET is made according to the strict German Norm
DIN 177; on request we will be pleased to send you this norm.
HEXAGONAL WIRE MESH
Our hexagonal wire mesh is made according to the European Norm
EN 10223-2-1997. For this product there is also a considerable difference of quality
with respect to some other suppliers;
compare the strength of our plastic-coated hexagonal wire mesh with
a product of any other supplier and you will come to the
conclusion that the plastic coated hexagonal mesh of 
is one of the best products available at this moment.
