A252 Flying Ends Mesh combines the standard A252 reinforcement grade with projecting wire ends at selected sheet edges. The mesh uses 8mm wires at 200mm centres in both directions, while the flying-end format changes the edge layout rather than the reinforcement grade.
South Steel supplies A252 Flying Ends Mesh for self-build, contractor and trade projects where this sheet format appears in the project information.
What Makes A252 Flying Ends Mesh Different?
Standard A252 mesh and the flying-end version share the same wire specification, but use different sheet edges. On flying-end mesh, selected reinforcement wires project beyond the final crossing wire.
These projecting ends work with lap arrangements shown on reinforcement drawings. Check the full product description rather than assuming any A252 sheet can be used where a flying-end format has been specified.
For structural concrete work, follow the engineer’s drawings for sheet arrangement, laps, positioning and concrete cover.
A252 Grade and Flying-End Sheet Details
The product details are:
- 8mm wires in both directions
- 200mm wire spacing throughout
- 252mm² nominal steel area per metre each way
- Sheet dimensions: 4.8m × 2.4m
- Approximate sheet weight: 39.86kg
The “252” refers to the nominal steel area provided per metre in each direction. “Flying ends” describes the projecting wire arrangement at the sheet edges.
This distinction matters when matching the product to drawings or reinforcement schedules, because the grade reference alone does not describe the edge format.
