Galvanized Industrial Wire Mesh Decking for Heavy Duty Pallet
Racking System
Ironstone offers a wide selection of new and used wire mesh decking
for pallet racking and pallet racking systems. Wire mesh decking is
an ideal addition for anyone wishing to store items safely in a
pallet racking system. Wire mesh decks for pallet racking provide
additional metal racking surface protection, while the open wire
mesh allows for free access to the required water from sprinklers
in the event of a fire.
Our wire mesh decking is made of heavy duty wire decking, woven
into a grid mesh. It's easy to lay pallet rack beams or wire deck
rails directly, and the wire decks add an extra layer of security
and support without the need for tools. Because they are easy to
install and inexpensive, wire mesh decking is a popular product in
warehouse setups.

The purpose of the wire decking is to provide the ability to store
items on the racks without the use of pallets. The wire decking
also provides added stability and protects the pallet racking with
the pallet support beams alone.
Advantages of Wire Mesh Decking
- Easy to install - simple drop in design, no hardware required
- Fits directly onto pallet racking beams in pallet racking systems
- Increases the load capacity of pallet racking
- Available in several finishes, sizes and styles
The wire mesh grids in the pallet racks allow light to pass through
and spread evenly from the ceiling to the floor. The use of wire
mesh in pallet racking reduces shadows, making the warehouse
brighter. Better distribution of available light has been shown to
reduce accidents and improve storage and picking efficiency.
Wire mesh decking also improves safety by reducing the risk of loss
due to fire. In the event of a fire, traditional solid decking
materials such as wood or plywood can catch fire and prevent water
from entering the fire.
With wire mesh decks, this problem is almost completely eliminated
because water can easily pass through the mesh wire, allowing
sprinklers to reach the flames. Wire mesh decking has proven so
effective in reducing fire damage that most local fire codes now
require the use of wire mesh in indoor pallet storage facilities.
