Abstract
An improved mesh structure and method of making same uses a border to define the a general mesh shape and a first and a second plurality of a lengths of strand doubled back upon themselves so as to connect with the border member at points where each strand doubles back which results in an overall reduction of material of the mesh. The method of fabricating the mesh structure includes providing an alignment means to cause the first and second plurality of a lengths of cable to be doubled back upon themselves so as to create an intermediate length and two longitudinal lengths spaced apart from one another by the length of the intermediate length which pierce the border member at point corresponding to the length of the intermediate length of the doubled back strands.
