I need some “mesh” to make a BBQ grille, needs to be about 300mm square

I want something with around 10 to 15 mm hole size with 5mm wire, (all sizes are approximate but can’t be bigger) ideally stainless steel, but not a deal breaker

What do I need to search for as my Google fu isn’t working, I just keep getting light weight SS mesh which is very flimsy for my application

Help muchly appreciated, a suggested supplier will be even better

Perforated sheet might do what you want?

Stainless Steel Perforated Sheet Archives | Metal Supermarkets UK

Stainless Steel Perforated Sheet is a product that is made from Stainless Steel Sheet that has been fed through a machine that punches out round holes (or other designs). These holes can be straight rows or staggered to increase the amount of the openings.

Not what I’m looking for, it’s got too much surface area

That sounds more like a grating than a mesh.

ive searched for it before as i was looking for a bbq grill long enough to cook the food upon

bbq grill would be the term your looking for if you want the bar type grill

for me to get the size of grill i wanted it was easier to buy the whole unit than just to buy the grills

Making a bbq

And we're off.

"Stainless grill rack" on amazon, most are not a mesh though, in that the wires are all horizontal leaving slots.

Buy a load of 5mm stainless wire and some 2mm stainless electrodes?

5mm wire is heavy duty I have made various sized bbq's using 20x20 x 3mm welded mesh with no issues, your 300mmx 300mm requirement should suit the use of this stuff,

20 X 20 X3 SS MESH - Bing

Intelligent search from Bing makes it easier to quickly find what you’re looking for and rewards you.
But if your stuck on needing 5mm good luck.

'Stainless weld mesh' finds a few examples of the heavier type.

I could not find anything with 5mm wires, biggest was 3mm (wire size is also written in 'gauge' - 3mm is about 10 gauge; 5mm would be about 4 gauge)

Brundles sell it, so that would give you a cross section of what is easily available.

Out of the box suggestion: the combination of relatively large wire diameter and relatively close spacing is more like a screen used in a soil-screening machine so that might be a place to look. Maybe 8ob would know what a common screen mesh size is.

20 mm hole size is too big for what I want, the bar grille that Gaz suggests is also too big

That’s the one, weld mesh throws up more options, but I don’t want the full sheet….

Parmster, as its only 300mm square you may as well buy some 5mm stainless rod and makes some, it would only need tack welding with some stainless rods.

How to Purchase Welded Wire Fence from China

Welded wire fences have become an essential part of various applications, from securing construction sites to enhancing residential properties. Their widespread use is evident, reflecting a competitive market that thrives on quality and reliability. However, the quality of these fences can vary significantly, leading to some companies earning stellar reputations while others do not.

Why Purchase from China?

China is a leading producer of welded wire fences, offering a combination of high quality and competitive pricing. The country’s advanced manufacturing technologies, large-scale production capabilities, and skilled workforce make it an ideal source for these products. Anping County, in particular, is known as the “Hometown of Wire Mesh” and has a long history of producing wire mesh products, ensuring a wide variety of options and reliable expertise.

How to Purchase from Anping Welded Wire Fence Suppliers?

There are several ways to find reliable suppliers in Anping, such as using B2B platforms like Alibaba and Made-in-China. However, it’s important to be cautious.

These suppliers may cut corners by using inferior materials, leading to products that rust or deteriorate quickly, causing significant losses.

To avoid these pitfalls, look for suppliers with a proven track record, positive reviews, and certifications that demonstrate their commitment to quality.
