Modern specifications usually comprise a sequential coating application of paints or alternatively paints applied over metal coatings to form a âduplexâ coating system. The protective paint systems usually consist of primer, undercoat(s) and finish coats.
Hardware cloth comes in 3-, 4-, 5-, and 6-foot rollsâwith 3â² and 4â² being the most common â and in roll lengths anywhere from 5, 25, 50 to 100 feet. The mesh is made by weaving or welding steel wires together, then hot-dipping it in zinc (galvanizing it) to protect it from rust.
If you have solar panels that are now in use, you can obtain some EMP protection by proper shielding and transient protection on the wires going to the panels, and by surrounding the panels with aluminum wire cloth (also known as hardware cloth). Aluminum wire cloth is somewhat difficult to find, but it is available.
