Structural Mesh

VARIGRID™ is a step beyond standard mesh.  As the name implies, the spacing or “grid” of the mesh can be varied in both directions.  Wire sizes in both plain and deformed wire can range from W1.4 (dia. 0.135”) to D45 (dia. 0.757”).  Sheet sizes are made to fit your requirements, up to the width of the welding machine (up to 13-6”) and lengths determined by handling limitations.  Galvanized or Epoxy coatings are available.  Let us know your needs because chances are we can come up with the perfect solution.  All Ivy Steel & Wire products are produced to meet all requirements of ASTM, AASHTO, and ACI.

The advantages of using VARIGRID™ over other types of reinforcement include:

• Proper Steel Required – exact area of steel can be achieved thus eliminating unnecessary over-steeling.
• Proper Spacing for Proper Placement – reduces quality control problems and time.
• Ease and Speed of Placement – eliminates hand tying individual bars and large areas are covered with each sheet.
• Reduces Labor Costs – smaller crew can place and secure reinforcement in less time.
• Less Space Required at Job Site – material stacks, no fabrication space required and shipments can be tailored to your needs.
• Reduces Total Construction Time – speeds placement, reduces labor, speeds pouring cycles, reduces steel required (when using high-yield VARIGRID™).
