Mid North Coast Reo Mesh Supplies
Laurieton Warehouse - Your Local Hardware Store
Strong foundations start with the right reinforcement—and when it comes to concrete work, nothing beats the strength and reliability of reo mesh. At Laurieton Warehouse on the Mid North Coast, we supply high-quality reo mesh for residential, commercial, and industrial projects across the Mid North Coast.
Whether you're pouring a driveway, building a slab, or constructing a retaining wall, using steel reinforcement is essential for structural stability and long-term performance. Our stock includes a range of mesh sizes and sheet formats to suit most applications, with options ready for quick pick-up to help you stay on schedule.
Designed for strength, durability, and ease of installation, our reo mesh helps prevent cracking, resists shifting, and enhances the load-bearing capacity of concrete.
To check availability or get advice on the right product for your pour, contact our team at (02) 6559 9339—we’re here to help you build it right from the ground up.
Reliable Steel Mesh for Every Pour
Choosing the right reo mesh is more than a tick on the checklist—it’s a crucial step in ensuring your concrete work performs under pressure. Whether you’re laying down a patio, driveway, house slab, or footpath, using the correct reinforcement prevents shrinkage cracks, improves tensile strength, and increases the durability of your finished surface.
Standard mesh sheets are ideal for flat pours, while trench mesh is perfect for footings and beams. With pre-cut and full-size options available, it's easy to get the right format for your project without extra cutting or waste.

For best results, always ensure your reo mesh is correctly placed and supported above the base layer so the concrete fully envelops it during the pour. Proper handling and placement not only meet building codes but also deliver better long-term performance—whether you're working on a residential build or a larger-scale job. With the right reo mesh, every slab gets the strength it deserves.
What is reo mesh used for in construction?
Reo mesh (short for reinforcing mesh) is used to strengthen concrete structures by adding tensile support. While concrete is strong under compression, it's weak under tension—reo mesh addresses this by distributing loads evenly and reducing the risk of cracking or structural failure. It’s commonly used in slabs, driveways, pathways, foundations, and retaining walls, and is essential in most residential and commercial pours to meet Australian construction standards.
What are the different types of reo mesh?
There are several types of reo mesh, each designed for specific applications. Square mesh is used in standard slabs and pavements, offering balanced reinforcement in both directions. Rectangular mesh provides added support in one direction, ideal for long pours. Trench mesh is narrower and used to reinforce footings and strip foundations. Ute mesh, which is smaller and easier to transport, suits smaller jobs and tight access areas. Always check your structural engineer’s specs or building plans to select the correct type.
How do I calculate how much reo mesh I need?
To calculate your reo mesh needs, measure the total area of the slab in square metres (length × width). Divide this by the area covered by one sheet of mesh (standard sheets are often 6 × 2.4 metres = 14.4m²). Allow for overlap between sheets—typically around 200mm—when calculating coverage. You may also need bar chairs or supports to ensure the mesh is properly suspended within the slab. Ordering slightly more than the calculated amount can help cover offcuts or last-minute adjustments on site.
