16 Nov 06 14:06Is there a difference between the term "fabric" and the term "mesh"? I have always referred to it as fabric, but a colleague suggested that a mesh and a fabric are different terms to be used based on the gage of the wire.

welded wire fabric
. Masonry joints are reinforced with welded wire reinforcement and it comes in strips that fit within the CMU width.(Structural)
