Copper wire mesh is a plain square weave (over one, under one). It has excellent thermal and electrical conductivity and is easily soldered. Copper mesh is ductile and malleable, but not as strong as brass.
Usage
• Snail control- any copper mesh may be used (selection would be based on strength and appearance). The snail receives a small but unpleasant electrical shock when it contacts copper mesh. Gardeners build small ground barrier strips or wrap stems and trunks with mesh bands. 2, 4,or 8 meshes would be a good choices for small snail fences. 22 mesh is a sturdy, easily formed mesh that wraps easily.

Copper Wire Mesh Cutting
Copper mesh is easily cut with hand tools. The heavy meshes from 2 mesh through 10 mesh is best cut with tin snips. To cut 16 mesh and finer, you can use a common scissor.
