Wire Decking vs. ProDeck50 Punched Steel Pallet Rack Decking

When it comes to pallet rack decking, both wire mesh and ProDeck50 punched steel offer advantages. Both meet fire safety standards, allowing sprinkler systems to function effectively. However, their distinct characteristics make them suitable for different needs.

Wire mesh decking is a cost-effective option. It supports pallet loads securely and its open design allows for airflow and easy cleaning. The transparency of wire mesh also improves visibility, aiding in inventory management.

ProDeck50 punched steel decking is designed for heavy-duty applications. Its solid steel construction provides more strength and a smooth surface, preventing damage to delicate items. While more expensive than wire mesh, it offers better durability and can handle heavier loads.

Both options are easy to install and meet fire safety codes. The choice depends on your specific needs. Wire mesh is suitable for standard pallet storage, while ProDeck50 is ideal for heavy-duty applications requiring a smooth surface.
