Timber & Wire Mesh Decks

When it comes to maximising warehouse storage, timber and wire mesh decks are simple but powerful solutions that enhance safety, efficiency, and flexibility. Designed to sit securely on top of pallet racking beams or warehouse shelving, these decks create durable storage surfaces that can hold cartons, loose products, non-standard pallets, or bulky goods with ease.

At Ikon, we supply and install timber decking and wire mesh decks for pallet racking systems as part of our SpaceSmart philosophy — helping businesses get more from their warehouse storage while protecting staff, stock, and equipment.

What Are Timber & Wire Mesh Decks?

Decking systems are pallet racking accessories placed across beams to support a wide range of goods. They prevent stock from falling through gaps while distributing loads evenly, which extends the lifespan of your warehouse racking system. Timber decks are made from strong wooden boards and create a solid, continuous surface ideal for cartons, boxes, and irregular stock. Wire mesh decks are manufactured from welded steel mesh, providing strength, airflow, and visibility while supporting fire safety compliance. Both options integrate seamlessly with pallet racking or shelving, making your storage system safer and more versatile.

Benefits of Timber & Wire Mesh Decks

Timber and mesh decks enhance safety by preventing goods from slipping between beams and reducing the risk of accidents or stock damage. Wire mesh decking supports fire safety by allowing sprinkler water penetration. These decking solutions add versatility, supporting cartons, loose items, unusual loads, and non-standard pallets that don’t sit directly on beams. They improve organisation by creating stable surfaces that make stock neat, accessible, and easier to manage. Built to handle heavy-duty loads, they distribute weight evenly across racking beams, increasing the durability of your system. Perhaps most importantly, they provide cost-effective flexibility, allowing you to adapt existing pallet racking without investing in additional storage systems.

Timber Decks – Solid & Reliable

Timber racking decks provide a continuous, robust surface that is particularly suited to warehouses handling cartons, bulky goods, or mixed stock. They are ideal for facilities that require stability in manual loading areas or environments where a traditional solid deck finish is preferred. Their adaptability and strength make them a reliable choice for everyday warehouse racking solutions.

Wire Mesh Decks – Strong & Fire-Safe

Wire mesh decking offers additional safety and compliance advantages. Its open structure allows sprinklers to operate effectively, supporting fire protection standards. Visibility is improved because staff can see products clearly, while ventilation ensures airflow around stored goods. These decks are ideal for mixed inventory, including pallets, cartons, and loose products, and their welded steel construction guarantees durability in demanding warehouse environments. Mesh decking is especially popular in distribution centres, e-commerce fulfilment operations, and high-bay warehouse racking installations.

Applications Across Industries

Timber and mesh decks are widely used across industries that depend on efficient and compliant warehouse racking systems. In warehousing and logistics, they provide safe surfaces for mixed pallets and cartons. Manufacturing facilities use them to store components, raw materials, and finished products. Retail and e-commerce operations benefit from their flexibility in creating pick-face storage for varied SKUs. In cold storage environments, mesh decks maintain airflow and temperature control while keeping goods secure. Wherever pallet racking UK solutions are used, decking adds safety, flexibility, and efficiency.
