Can I add a ceiling at a later date? Or do I have to order it with the original layout?

By David FishburnJuly 24, 2018Leave a comment

You can add a ceiling to your cage or enclosure at any time. However, if you are considering adding a clear spanned ceiling, you should plan for it in your original layout. Depending on the width of your enclosure, we may need to position posts directly opposite of each other in order to support ceiling…

Are the wall panels and ceiling panels interchangeable?

By David FishburnJuly 24, 2018Leave a comment

Yes, we use the same panels for walls and ceilings; there is no difference between the two.

What is the standard sweep space for WireCrafters machine guarding & physical barriers?

By David FishburnJuly 24, 2018Leave a comment

Our standard sweep space for 5′-3 1/4″H & 8′-5 1/4″H barrier is 3 1/4″H. Other sweep space dimensions are available.

Can I order a sweep space larger than 3-1/4″?

By David FishburnJuly 24, 2018Leave a comment

Yes, panels can be mounted at nearly any height off of the floor. This does require changing the standard hole layout on the posts; a modification best done in our manufacturing facility.

What is the “sweep space”? And do I need one?

By David FishburnJuly 24, 2018Leave a comment

The sweep space is the open area between the floor and the bottom of the panels. It is designed into the system for housekeeping purposes (i.e. cleaning floors, etc.). A sweep space is not required and determining if one is needed depends on your specific application.

Why are stock heights listed 5-1/4″ taller than the nominal wall height? (i.e. 8’5-1/4″ instead of 8′-0″)

By David FishburnJuly 24, 2018Leave a comment

WireCrafters lists the overall height of the partition, which includes a 3-1/4″ sweep space beneath the wire partition panels, the 8′ panel, and 2″ post projection above the wire panels for a total height of 8’5-1/4″.

Can the top of a wire cage or enclosure be walked on or used for additional storage space?

By David FishburnJuly 24, 2018Leave a comment

No, all of our ceilings are non-load bearing.

Do the wire partitions have an impact rating?

By David FishburnJuly 24, 2018Leave a comment

No, we do not have impact ratings for our wire partition products.

Can panels be manufactured with different types of mesh?

By David FishburnJuly 24, 2018Leave a comment

Yes, WireCrafters stocks several different mesh sizes, expandable metal, sheet metal, lexan, and other materials for special applications.

How does WireCrafters wire partition panel system work?

By David FishburnJuly 24, 2018Leave a comment

Our panels install horizontally between tubular posts. Stack two or more panels between posts to reach the desired height. Stock sized panels come in widths of one (1) to ten (10) feet in one foot increments. Mount panels to posts with standard nuts and bolts (provided), or use tek screws. Anchor posts to floor using…
