Help ID welded wire mats?

The seller said these were fancy fence sections, cost over $100 ea section new, but I'm not sure at allnThey are about 10' x 5', coated with some rust-preventing shiny black stuff, made of welded wire about 1/8 or 3/16" diameter.. There are two "v" troughs, top and bottom, running the length of each mat, I know they're not antique but I had to ask here. Exactly what are they for?

 

For some reason I think grocery carts!

 

Possible, but each rectangle is about 1" x 3", so certain things would escape from the cart

 

Spring,

Just for laughs see if they fit on your pallet racking

 

Emergency runway mats?

 

wire for concrete slabs?

 

Those at Homer's are different enuf that I think not, but that's a very close match. The concrete mats are intentionally left uncoated and rusty for a better grip.

 

That's actually why I bought them (that and the very low price.). If I find out they're fancy fences as the seller said, I'd make out better selling them.

 

I've seen a couple kinds of runway mats, and those tend to have more solid surface area than hole area.

I did think they were a bit holy, so maybe they are prayer mats?

 

reminds me of wire fencing i see around town for large building excavation ...

 

Thanks

That looks identical to what I got, thanks. I think I'll put it to use for storage needs. Might try cutting 4 sections which are then joined flexibly at ends so they can be arranged as a box, the bottom of which is a steel pallet. Put metal stuff in it then store it up high where flammable stuff is forbidden.

 

glad to be of help !

 

I think concrete rebar. Actually they are often treated to prevent rust as the rust can weaken the metal over time.
