“USEFUL INFORMATION ON WIRE NETTING 
At the present time Manufacturers make three grades of Wire Netting 
and anyone purchasing netting should do so at the weight per mile 
and not by the classification. This is their safest policy. 
“A” grade is what is known as full weight. 
“В” grade is about 8% lighter in weight than “A” grade. 
The lowest grade is known as “20% light." This grade reduces the 
size of wire by about two gauges, viz :—18 gauge, and 20% light weight 
netting, will be about 20 gauge. It is not economy to buy it. 
The following table shows sizes and approximate weights per mile 
in “A” and “B” grades. The third grade will be 20 lighter than 
“A” grade. | :
