What is the difference in size between the 6-gauge and 10-gauge wire mesh used in your wire mesh partitions and industrial storage lockers?
6-gauge is the heavier duty wire. It is about 0.192 inches thick on average, versus the 10-gauge wire which is 0.135 inches on average. Both gauges work for the majority of applications, although the thicker 6-gauge wire (especially when welded) provides a sturdier panel and can handle larger side impacts, which is why we use it in our Rack Safety Systems.
