One of the main purposes of wire mesh is to provide safety and containment. Barbed wire fences are usually used in agricultural and industrial environments to protect the perimeter and prevent unauthorized entry. These types of wire mesh are designed to withstand severe impact and provide a solid barrier for intruders or animals. In addition, the hog mesh fence is specially used to contain and protect livestock, making it an important part of animal husbandry.

Furthermore, safety precautions should always be observed when cutting welded wire mesh, as sharp edges and flying debris pose potential hazards. Protective gear such as safety glasses, gloves, and ear protection should be worn, and proper ventilation is recommended when using power tools to mitigate the risk of dust and fumes.
