1. Mesh-ups: How many do you need:
Answer: Total square feet divided by 2.
How do you calculate the size of your project in square feet?
Multiply the width and the length of your project
(example: a concrete driveway is 8 feet wide and 25 feet long -
8 x 25 = 200 sq. ft. divided by 2 = 100) You will need 100 Mesh-ups for the project.

Size chairs: 1 ½” – 2” – 3” – 4”
3. What size wire will you use?
Answer: The wire gauge (diameter) typically increases as slab thickness increases.
The wire gauge ranges from 10 gauge (smallest) to 8,6,4, and 0 gauge being the largest.
