Distributors new to grass fence usually ask for "the standard size". There is no standard — there is what your market has been sold before and what it will pay for. The mesh size is the single decision that most affects both.

What the number means

The number is the opening between the welded wires, in millimetres, before the PVC grass strip is woven through. A tighter opening means more wire per square metre and more strip per square metre, so the surface reads as more closed and the roll is heavier. A wider opening means less material, a lighter roll and a lower cost per square metre, with a surface that lets more light through.

How each size tends to sell

  • **42×42** — the densest screen we weave. Sells where the buyer's complaint about the previous supplier was "you could see through it".
  • **44×44** — close to fully opaque with less material than 42. A common compromise for garden retailers.
  • **48×48** — a wider opening. Lighter per square metre, which shows up in the delivered price on long runs and site screening.
  • **50×50** — the volume size across the Balkans, and usually the first order in a new market.

The questions that pick the size for you

  • What is on your competitor's shelf right now, and what do installers complain about?
  • Is your customer buying by the metre for a garden, or by the hundreds of metres for a site?
  • Does the job need to stop the view, or just soften a fence line?
  • Is the run exposed to wind, where a heavier panel behaves better?

Do not guess on the first order

You do not have to. A first order can mix sizes, and the terms do not change because you took two heights of one size and one of another. Put both on your shelf, see which one installers come back for, and let the second order be the confident one.

What stays the same across sizes

Packaging, documents, private label and the loading approach do not change with mesh size. Wire and strip specifications come from the production sheet and are stated in the offer for whichever size you order — this is where you should ask for numbers in writing rather than take a website's word for it.

Frequently asked questions

Can I mix sizes in one order? Yes. That is usually the smartest first order, because it tells you what your market repeats.

Does a wider mesh mean lower quality? No — it means less material per square metre. Quality is decided by the wire, the galvanising and the UV specification of the strip, not by the opening.

Which size gives the best price per metre of fence? Usually the widest opening you can sell without complaints about the view. Ask your installers before you assume.
