bluespanner Posted February 3, 2013 Share Posted February 3, 2013 I'm building some ramps for my trailer that are fixed, so I thought using mesh would cause less drag than chequerplate, I think 25x25x3mm would do? Its well supported with box. But I'm not sure. eBay only seems to sell chicken run stuff, not really up to driving on. Can someone recommend me an appropriate size and stockist?

muddy Posted February 3, 2013 Share Posted February 3, 2013 Expanded mesh would offer more grip I feel. Depending on your intended use, angle iron is a cheap choddy-esq solution. Will. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bluespanner Posted February 3, 2013 Author Share Posted February 3, 2013 I'm trying to do a good job, angle iron would make them very heavy. Who sells this expanded mesh then? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
muddy Posted February 3, 2013 Share Posted February 3, 2013 Local metal suppliers stock it round me or we also have a mesh maker? Near us who can do more custom stuff if you wish. I should think google is your friend closely followed by the phone. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bluespanner Posted February 10, 2013 Author Share Posted February 10, 2013 I've ended up using 10mm re-bar at 75mm spacings Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
forkrentfitter Posted February 12, 2013 Share Posted February 12, 2013 if you want to re make them there is a company called chase in wolverhampton that build loading ramps for shipping containers and curtain side type trailers,the mesh they use is perfect,it is a type of expanded mesh but uber strong.
