The metal gauze in different configurations and in different ways weaving. On the one hand it is quite good option as boards on such basis very easy, however same and their shortcoming. If accidentally to touch board, it will inevitably fall even if just to pull for the got confused iron cord. The whole metal sheet which has become basis for board - guarantee of its durability and durability.
