What does A393 mesh mean?
A393 2.4m x 4.8m (Standard Size) Reinforcement Mesh Fabric A393 mesh is most commonly used in heavier duty industrial concreting in walls and floor slabs with a thickness or depth of at least 200mm. 10mm wires are spaced to create 200mm apertures, and each standard size sheet weighs approximately 70.9Kgs.
What thickness is A393 mesh?
10mm
3.6m (3600mm) x 2m (2000mm) A393 Reinforcing mesh has a wire size of 10mm, nominal pitch of wire dimensions of 200mm x 200mm and a total sheet weight of 70.96kg.
What is fabric mesh reinforcement?
Reinforcing Mesh or Reo Mesh, is used for improving the tensile strength of concrete and preventing cracks to structural elements. Reinforcing Mesh is manufactured from welded wire fabric or prefabricated steel reinforcement material and comes in a variety of sizes most commonly square grid or rectangular patterns.

What does A393 mean?
Do I need mesh in my concrete slab?
No, they do not. Larger projects or slabs may need steel reinforcement to provide support or extra strength. Wired mesh can also help resist cracking. Some locations require reinforcement no matter the size or scale of the concrete.
How much should you overlap reinforcing mesh?
Where reinforcement fabric overlaps the rule of thumb is a minimum overlap of two bars plus 50mm i.e. 200 + 200 + 50 = 450mm but this can sometimes be reduced through engineered design to Eurocode 2 Table 2 in the LABC Warranty technical standards manual provides minimum lap dimensions for B fabric.
What size reinforcing mesh do I need?
Firstly, you need to calculate the area of your concrete slab. To do this simply multiply the length of the slab by the width. Now that you have your area calculation, you need to divide the area by 12.5. This will give you the number of steel mesh sheets required to reinforce your concrete slab.
