At present, the protective meshes on the market are roughly divided into two types, one is a stainless steel hand-woven mesh, and the other is a welded mesh. The prices of the two types of mesh are quite different, but in the long run, the price of stainless steel hand-woven mesh is lower and more economical.

Many people think that the price of welded wire mesh is lower, but it is not. Let us give an example:
Penny needs 2,500 square feet of mesh to cover her aviary. Penny chose welded mesh and stainless steel hand-woven mesh in many nets, but hesitated because of the price of both. We analyze how to help Penny make the right choice in three ways:
First, service life and maintenance costs
Although the price of welded mesh looks cheap at the moment, but don’t overlook the service life and maintenance costs. The stainless steel hand-woven mesh has more than 30 year service life and has a low maintenance cost. However, the welded mesh is prone to rust and needs to be replaced every three years. Moreover, it is necessary to carry out daily cleaning and maintenance to slow down the rust of the welded wire mesh, and the maintenance cost is much higher than that of the stainless steel hand-woven mesh.
Second, about health
Moreover, stainless steel hand-woven mesh does not require any chemical treatment to prevent rust, does not contain heavy metals, does not degradation, does not pollute the environment, is an environmentally friendly product, birds can be bitten without fear of poisoning or injury. However, the surface of the welded mesh is mostly coated with hot-dip galvanizing, electro-galvanizing, PVC coating, dip coating, spray coating to prevent corrosion, which will endanger the life and health of birds.
Third, about the price
The price of stainless steel hand-woven mesh will be higher than the welded mesh in the first purchase. For example, the 2,500-square-foot aviary needs $7,253, but the welded mesh only needs $4,048, but the welded mesh needs to be replaced every three years, 30 years. The cost is $40,480, which does not include daily maintenance costs. Therefore, in the long run, the price of stainless steel rope net is higher.
In the end, Penny chose a stainless steel hand-woven net as her aviary. We draw on Penny’s experience that stainless steel hand-woven mesh looks expensive at the moment, but in the long run, it is a cheap and beautiful birdhouse network.
