5 Things to Know Before Buying square flat top locked woven wire screen price

To facilitate the centuries-old weaving process, wire mesh suppliers must employ specialized weaving looms designed to work with metallic wires. These looms consist of seven components: a warp beam, warp wires, heddle frames, weft wires, a rapier band, a reed, and a front take-up mechanism.

• The warp beam is a cylindrical beam that is used to wind the warp wire after the volume and length of the wires are calculated based on the specifications of the mesh.

• Warp wires are the wires that run vertically and are threaded through the entire loom.

• The heddle frames are holsters that are used to organize and separate the warp wires. Looms set up to produce a square mesh may have two sets of heddle frames, whereas more complex filter cloth weaves may have more.

• Weft wires are the wires the run horizontally and are typically fed by a separate spool of wire.

• The rapier band system is responsible for threading the weft wire through the sets of warp wires between heddle frame movements.

• The reed is one of the most essential elements of a weaving loom as it is used to position the warp wires they will be woven in and drive the weft wires into their exact potion.

• The front take-up mechanism rolls the woven mesh once it is fully woven.

 

The Weaving Process

To initiate the weaving process, a loom operator will attach and arrange the individual wires on the warp according to their position in the weave. To prevent entanglement, these wires are housed in a wire housing unit known as a creel.

Once attached, the warp beam is wound, allowing the proper length of wire to be wrapped around the beam.

Each wire wound on the warp beam is threaded through its own heddle in a specific heddle frame then carefully threaded through the reed openings based on their order in the weave. At this point, the warp beam, heddle frame assembly are transferred to the weaving hall, and the remainder of the loom is assembled.

NOTE: A great deal of attention to detail must be applied when threading the wire through the heddle frames and reed, as this process control how accurate the mesh specifications are.

Once the loom is fully assembled and the wires are properly threaded, the weaving process can begin.

When first initializing the weaving loom, the warp beam unwinds slightly to feed a small increment of wires. At the same time, the front take-up mechanism winds the same increment of wires to maintain the required tension to produce high-quality mesh.

Once these movements are made in conjunction, the heddle frames shift to separate the wires. In a two-heddle frame system, the first heddle frame lifts one half of the wires, and the second heddle frame drives the other half of wires down.

While the two sets of wires are separated, a weft wire, typically fed from a wire spool that is separated from the creel and placed next to the loom, is shot between the wires by the rapier band. The rapier band then moves back to its resting position.

It's at this point that the reed propels the weft wire to its final position, creating the precise cross-sections that wire mesh is known for. Once the weft wire is positioned, the reed returns to its resting position.

This marks the completion of the first interval.

To continue the weaving process, the warp beam and front take-up mechanism make the same slight, rotating movement to begin another interval. At the same time, the heddle frames will switch potion, wedging the previous weft wire as the two sets of wires are separated in the opposite direction.

These joint movements repeatedly continue until the desired length and mesh specification is woven.

As a kid I probably helped tear down close to 20 miles of fence on this farm. Every field was fenced...and we pulled and dug out the wire on all of them. I've looked at all the new fence in the TSC's and Rural Kings...and there isn't any that compares with the quality of the old fence. When they put a #9 wire top and bottom on those old fences...you could darn near tear the hole fence out just digging under the wire and lifting with a manure bucket. Will these new woven wire fences last anywhere near the 40 years the old ones did? povertypoint

Kinda anwsered your own question.
Don't even think they call it fence, netting is what some of the lables say.

Red brand isn't to bad.
Every thing seems to have lightened up. From pickups and tractors, right
down to a half gallon box of ice cream (1.75 qts now)
Sad :(

Red Brand or Keystone has 3 different grades of woven wire. We ordered a couple pallets of the old style woven wire. Put wood post every 10 ft., hopefully get 50 years out of this woven wire fence.

I can find a tag if you need it. fowllife

They don't stock any of the good stuff since none of the backyard cowboys want to pay for it. They can special order some of the better stuff with the square deal or cross lock ties. I think it's 9 3/4 ga top and bottom now though. It's not as good as the old stuff, but it's better then what they have in stock. pupdaddy12003

...That's good to hear. I've got a couple places I wanted to wrap with fence because mowing it is getting to be a pain. There's always someone with a goat or a sheep they don't want any more...and I thought I might be able to pick up some cheap labor. (Although fence ain't cheap either!!!) It still should save me some time and headaches...(Lawn mower breaking down...keeping gas and oil in it, finding someone to use it when I'm too busy, etc., etc.)

I hate red brand! If I wanted it to last for years and could afford it I would do fixed Knot woven wire. You have to watch woven wire if a sheep can get its head through it seems quite a few of them get stuck in the fence and can not figure out how to get out. I had a ewe years ago stick her head through then put her nose back through another square and hang herself. All the rest of the woven wire is 4x4 squares. The lambs can get heads in so I watch them. If the lambs and sheep have ear tags it seems to be worse. I have OK brand 4x4 and it is doing well Toepincher

Hows the quality of the ok. Here it's a third the price of red brand but half the quality. We are hoping to put up about a mile of woven this fall yet so would also like to hear what others have been doing. I agree i dont like the hole size of the red brand sheep fence. They have a 4x4 but its taller than what we want and expensive denice.r

I find the red brand sags and squares stretch out of shape and it rusts fast. Not had a problem with the ok but mine is recently put up, under 5 years. I have had sheep hit it and so far so good ;) The horses will stretch their necks over and bend the first row but it bends back up just fine.
About the same price here as other fence. JayWalker

I have put up about 10 rolls in the last 10 years. I have been please with Bekert (sp) brand. I have had several tree limbs fall on it in different places and it has held up well.
