668 Concrete Driveway Yard Mesh (Standard Size)
You are viewing 668 concrete driveway mesh, manufactured in accordance with NZS4671:2001. Our 668 concrete driveway mesh is designed to deliver exceptional reinforcement strength for non-structural concrete projects such as residential driveways, footpaths, patios and light-use yard slabs. 668 Concrete driveway mesh / yard mesh offers sufficient strength for everyday use where an engineer's approval isn't required.
Manufactured from high-quality hard-drawn steel, 668 mesh provides excellent tensile strength, helping ensure your concrete remains strong and resistant to cracking for years to come.
Applications of Hard Drawn Yard Mesh
Reinforcing mesh for concrete driveways and yard slabs provides extra strength, reducing cracking from soil movement, temperature changes, and vehicle loads. Using 668 reinforcing mesh for driveways distributes loads evenly across the slab, minimising the risk of damage from soil movement, temperature fluctuations, and regular vehicle traffic. While it is often not mandated by engineering approvals, installing 668 concrete mesh is an affordable way to significantly extend the durability and reliability of your concrete work.
Installation is straightforward. The mesh is supported on small plastic bar chairs or concrete spacers, ensuring it sits at the correct depth within the slab. Once concrete is poured, it fully surrounds and locks the mesh in place, providing optimal structural support.
Key Features & Benefits of 668 Concrete Driveway Mesh:
- Engineered strength: Hard-drawn 668 mesh provides reliable reinforcement for concrete driveways and yard slabs.
- Crack reduction: Helps prevent cracking caused by soil movement, temperature shifts, and vehicle loads.
- Durable construction: Made from high-tensile steel for long-lasting performance and stability.
- Optimised slab support: Distributes loads evenly to improve structural integrity and service life.
