In construction, wire mesh is commonly used for reinforcing concrete structures. The mesh provides strength and stability to concrete by preventing cracks and enhancing its durability. It is also utilized in fencing and gating applications for security and boundary demarcation.

The shaping of semi-finished products must be carried out according to the original design process. Generally speaking, the shaping width is about 3% to 5% wider than the finished width, and the warp shrinkage is controlled within the shrinkage required by the finished product. The elongation of the patch is equal to the enlargement ratio during the tracing. If it is a single-sided knitted fabric, it is also necessary to control the paddle cutting edge and the optimal twist to reduce the printing weft caused by twist. The width of the pulp edge is about 1 cm, and the pulp is broken. It should not be too thin or too thick. Too thin will not play the role it should play, and too thick will affect the printing effect near the edge of the cloth. Pigment printing will increase the weight per square meter of the fabric due to the solid slurry remaining on the surface of the fabric. Therefore, under the conditions of suitable width and shrinkage, the weight per square meter can be lighter.
