I ran into the same problem when I was building a drying rack for my workshop. At first, I bought the cheapest mesh I could find, but it bent out of shape within a week. That’s when I learned that material type matters a lot more than I thought. Stainless steel ended up being the best fit because it handled weight and humidity without warping. Mesh size also changed how well the rack functioned, so I had to experiment a bit. Reading more about different metal mesh options helped me understand which ones were designed for heavier loads versus light-duty projects. Now I always check durability first, because replacing the wrong mesh ends up costing more than choosing the right one from the start.
