What Is Wire Mesh Decking?
Wire mesh decking consists of welded steel wire panels reinforced by steel support channels. The panels sit on your pallet rack’s load beams and form a solid grid surface. This structure gives you a strong shelf that still allows airflow, visibility, and sprinkler access.

Key Features & Benefits
Strong Load Support
The steel wire grid transfers weight evenly across the decking. The support channels (usually 14-ga or 16-ga) reinforce the structure. This lets you safely store both palletized and non-palletized items.
Fire Safety & Sprinkler Access
The open mesh design allows sprinkler water to reach lower levels. This helps you meet fire-safety regulations and protects your warehouse in case of emergency.
Better Ventilation and Light
The mesh lets air and light pass through. That reduces dust buildup and improves visibility inside the rack levels.

Replace any decking that shows signs of damage or deformation.
Cleaning
Sweep or vacuum to remove dust and debris.
Use mild detergent and water for occasional washing.
Avoid harsh chemicals that may damage the finish.

Safety Considerations
Use decking rated for your maximum load and beam type.
