Precision Welded Mesh
Small aperture (block size) welded mesh is called precision welded mesh or aviary mesh. This type of mesh is used to make cages for a variety of birds, reptiles and other animals.
Precision Welded Mesh is available in "Galvanised Before Welding" also called "GBW" or "Galvanised After Welding" "GAW".
GAW advantages: The galvanising tends to collect on the joins (where the wires cross). The slightly thicker coating may increase the lifespan of the wire.
GAW disadvantages: The galv after welding process tends to skew/pull the block pattern. This may make it difficult to use for suspended cages. It is more expensive compared to GBW.
GBW advantages: The block pattern is more even when compared to GAW. It is cheaper than GAW. GBW works well for suspended cages.
GBW disadvantages: The galvanising is lighter when compared to GAW.
