DIY trailer cage rebuild

[leonidmelnikovge1865]

Hey everyone! The old mesh on my box trailer cage is rusted out and looking pretty sad. I want to cut it out and weld in some fresh panels. Does anyone know where I can buy individual sheets of galvanized mesh in Sydney? I need something thick enough to handle hauling firewood and green waste.

I did the same repair on my ute cage last year. Don't bother with the flimsy stuff from the general hardware shops. Go to a trade supplier like RWAP. They manufacture galvanised welded mesh sheets that are actually designed for structural use. Their 50x50mm mesh with 4mm wire is very consistent and holds its shape perfectly when you weld it. Pricing is much better too since they are the manufacturers. You can see all the different sheet sizes they stock here https://rwap.com.au/welded-mesh/ It’ll make your trailer look brand new.

Glad I asked, 4mm wire sounds much better than what I had on there. Thanks for the link!
