the mesh is .060" thick aluminum.
it is fairly flexible, but very strong.
it is being sent rolled up in a 12" square box.
that is how it comes to me.
it will be wavy, but is very easy to straighten.
i have straightened out pieces that were folded over on themselves and you couldnt tell where the fold was.
last year while on the highway something hit my lower gril so hard i felt it through the steering wheel. the mesh dented in about 3/4". i just pulled and massaged it and now its back to normal. whateve hit my grill would have definitly broken the factory mesh.
