Definition - What does Mesh mean?
A Mesh is a barrier that is made up of connected strands of fiber, metals and other ductile and flexible materials. It is similar to a net or web and consists of various woven or attached strands. It can be found in a cloth and it's the loosely knitted or woven fabric that contains a large number of closely placed holes which are commonly used in the modern sport jerseys.
