Carbon Steel Flat Expanded Sheet, Unpolished (Mill) Finish, 48" Width, 48" Length, 1.33" SWD x 3.2" LWD Opening, 13 Gauge

I needed a sheet of expanded steel to weld into the bottom of my trailer tongue so I could throw my straps and tarps and etc there. I had a hard time finding any locally, and the steel places wanted to sell me a 4x8 sheet for $120, which was way more than I needed. I found this and shipping was pretty reasonable so I bought it. Welded into my trailer tongue (which is a 48 long x36" triangle), I can stand in the center of it and I weigh 250 lbs. I did weld a piece of 1/8" steel strap under it for support in the middle, as i know expanded steel will sag with weight and age if not supported.

I plan on using whats left to make a little charcoal bbq I can slide into my hitch when I go camping.

Good quality and size for the price. Only two complaints:Rusts very easily, more than expected. I wouldn't use this outdoors at all, even with good paint (which is difficult to get inside the spaces with a good covering anyway).The edges are SHARP. I mean if you try moving this thing and barely nick your skin, you will cut to the fat or the bone. I slashed my leg and my arm badly enough to need stitches while moving to where I could paint it... it was so sharp I didn't even know how bad the cuts were until I was bleeding everywhere. BE CAREFUL.

Short review because I see this is no longer available. 10 gauge expanded carbon steel 48" x 48" for under $40 bucks and I think shipping was free. Thought it would be junk. NOT - it was better than I expected. Full 10 gauge expanded metal. Mill scale enough that it should hold off rust for awhile. Needed a 30" grate for a burner project of mine and it is perfect. Tougher than the grate on my expensive grill.

This was purchased to fabricate a large outdoor grill. It is a fairly heavy gauge, and appears to be sturdy enough for my application. It was a bit trickier to weld than I had anticipated, and also was not much fun to cut to size. All in all, very good quality and shipped in a practical and sturdy container, so no damage. A good value compared to trying to purchase a pre-made grill.

Shipping is a problem with this product. Every shipment has had the corners of the sheet bent. Other than that the expanded metal sheet works great in lots of different applications.

Exactly what we needed. We reshape do ssome of our property and placed an underground culvert to collect the runoff. This's mesh used to filter out leaves, etc.

Lived up to the quality of what I was looking for .. good quality.. fast delivery ....thank you and would recommend to others
