Abstract: Grid-shaped reinforcement strip is configured for reinforcing masonry joints, and includes at one substantially straight elongated reinforcement wire having a substantially rectangular cross section. There is a further reinforcement wire having a substantially rectangular cross section that is spaced apart from the at least one reinforcement wire. At least one connecting wire extends between opposed faces of such at least two spaced apart reinforcement wires. An unflattened weld attaches the at least one connecting wire to respective ones of opposed faces of such at least two reinforcement wires. The connecting wire preferably has a substantially round cross section, and the thickness of the at least one connecting wire is as thick as or less thick than the thickness of the at least two reinforcement wires.
