Decking
From wikiMHEDA
Decking is the material, generally made from welded wire, that is placed on shelves, rack load beams or walks to support loads of variable sizes. The decks or flooring of a mezzanine can be made of several different types of materials depending upon the requirements, features and capacity of the mezzanine. These flooring/decking options may include bar grating, plank grating, wood planking, plywood, composite materials and cement.[1]
Open grid wire mesh decking is used at many warehouses and manufacturing plants as a safety measure on selective pallet racks to prevent pallets from falling through the rack structure. Mesh decking complies with state and local fire codes, providing an open deck so the heat can reach the sprinklers and allows water to extinguish the fire.[2]
