Steel Garden Product FAQS

What Are Bar Chairs Used For in Garden Projects?

Bar chairs are often used in garden projects to elevate reinforcing steel (reo bars) within the concrete formwork. This ensures proper concrete coverage around the steel for maximum strength and structural integrity of slabs and footings.

How Strong is Reo Mesh for Reinforcement?

Reo mesh, made from high-tensile steel wires welded into a grid, significantly strengthens concrete in garden structures like slabs and walls by providing tensile strength. Different grades (e.g., SL62, SL72) vary in wire thickness and spacing, providing different levels of reinforcement depending on the load requirements of your project.

What is the Difference Between SL62 and SL72 Reo Mesh?

SL62 and SL72 reo mesh refer to varying wire thickness and strength. SL62 features 6mm diameter wires, while SL72 has thicker 6.75mm diameter wires. This means SL72 offers more tensile strength and is suited to projects requiring greater reinforcement, like driveways, compared to the more general-purpose SL62, often used in house slabs and footpaths.

How Do I Use Trench Mesh in Garden Projects?

Trench mesh is laid within trench excavations before pouring concrete to reinforce foundations for garden walls and footings. Its longitudinal bars provide tensile strength along the length of the trench, preventing cracking and ensuring the stability and longevity. Secure the mesh with bar chairs for proper concrete coverage.

What is the Best Mesh for Garden Fencing?

We recommend choosing strong and durable metal mesh for garden work, like welded wire mesh or galvanised steel mesh. Welded mesh offers plenty of rigidity and security, while galvanised steel is virtually rust-proof for added longevity. Choose a steel garden mesh with the right size holes to contain pets or deter pests, balancing strength and functionality. 

What Sizes Does Trench Mesh Come In?

Daisy’s Garden Supplies offers trench mesh in various widths (200mm, 300mm, 400mm) and bar configurations (3 or 4 bars). The bar thickness also varies (8mm, 11mm, 12mm), influencing strength for different load-bearing requirements. Check our product listings for specific dimensions and choose based on your project.
