"forged mesh" is one solution. When they say "forjado", Explanation: though, they don't really mean strictly forging, but general foundrywork, including casting (fundición) and "cerrajería" (which, once again, is not locksmithy when it comes to foundrywork, it could be wrought iron as well.) Since I have to work in a foundry sometimes, I got to see the false friends. Look at your context and see what item this could be (to me it sounds like the mesh you sometimes find on fire escapes). Well, you'd know better. |

cast (metal) mesh or wrought (metal) mesh Explanation: Fornado is often used for any foundrywork, as my colleague above explained. I have most often seen and used the above suggestions as translations as in "cast iron mesh." Suerte |

wrought iron grid Explanation: This may be the flat part of a metal stairs, a 'see-through' metal grid serving as a step (steps), or else the 'platforms' (stairwells) where the stair turns. Alternatively it may be 'mesh' but 'mesh' is very fine for wrought iron. |

See below Explanation: I agree with the colleagues about the term 'grid', but I may add: 'catwalk grid', referring to the specific grid used. Luck! |

wrought-iron grating (or) forged grating Explanation: The first phrase, although less literal, is more common in English. This type of grating is often used in stairways located on industrial sites, partly for lightness and economy, and partly to prevent the pooling of liquids on the stair steps. Cheers, HC |
