A Complete Guide to Wire Mesh Decking for Pallet Racking

Wire mesh decking is one of the most practical and cost-effective accessories you can add to your pallet racking system. It provides a solid, reliable surface that improves safety, supports fire sprinkler compliance, and accommodates non-standard pallet sizes.

Why Use Wire Mesh Decking?

• Fire safety compliance: Open mesh allows sprinkler water to flow through to lower levels
• Prevents product fall-through: Stops small items from dropping through beam gaps
• Improved visibility: See stored products from below for easier inventory checks
• Supports damaged pallets: Provides backup support if a pallet board breaks

Types of Wire Mesh Decks

Standard flared-channel decks drop directly onto step beams. Flush decks sit inside the beams for a level surface. Waterfall decks extend slightly over the beam face for maximum coverage.

Load Capacity Considerations

Wire mesh decks are rated for uniformly distributed loads (UDL). Our standard decks support 500-2,500 kg depending on gauge, mesh size, and support channels. Always ensure the deck rating matches your application.

Racking UAE stocks a wide range of wire mesh decking sizes and can manufacture custom panels for any beam configuration.
