A reinforcing strip for a concrete coating for oil or gas pipes consists of wires (1) welded together to form four-sided meshes (2) inclined to the length of the strip, and a straight selvedge wire (4) welded thereto to form along only one edge of the strip triangular meshes (6) incapable of being elongated by tension applied in a pipe coating and winding machine. The four-sided meshes (3) may be diamond-shaped with longer diagonals (7) longitudinal or transverse, or they may be squares. Welded mesh may be used or zig-zag wires welded to each other at adjacent peaks (9) and troughs (10) which may be interengaged or merely overlapped, and the zig-zags may extend longitudinally or transversely. |

DETAILED DESCRIPTION I claim: 1.
A reinforcing strip comprising wires welded together to form four-sided meshes having sides inclined to the longitudinal direction of the strip, and a straight selvedge wire welded thereto to form along only one edge of the strip triangular meshes incapable of being elongated by tension in the longitudinal direction of the strip.
2.
A reinforcing strip as in claim 1, wherein the four-sided meshes are diamond-shaped.
3.
A reinforcing strip as in claim 2, wherein the diamond-shaped meshes have their longer diagonals disposed longitudinally of the strip.
4.
A reinforcing strip as in claim 2, wherein the diamond-shaped meshes have their longer diagonals disposed transversely of the strip.
5.
A reinforcing strip as in claim 1, wherein the four-sided meshes are squares.
6.
A reinforcing strip as in any one of claims 1, 2, 3, 4, or 5 and formed of welded mesh without twists.
7.
A reinforcing strip as in any one of claims 1, 2, 3, 4, or 5, wherein the wires forming the four-sided meshes are formed as zig-zags and welded to each other at adjacent peaks and troughs.
8.
A reinforcing strip as in claim 7, wherein the zig-zags extend longitudinally of the strip.
9.
A reinforcing strip as in claim 7, wherein the zig-zags extend transversely of the strip.
10.
A reinforcing strip as in claim 9, wherein the zig-zags are formed as flattened helices and interengaged before welding adjacent peaks and troughs and welding to the selvedge wire.
11.
A reinforcing strip as in claim 7, wherein the zig-zags are formed in one plane.
12.
A reinforcing strip as in claim 11, wherein adjacent peaks and troughs overlap slightly.
13.
A reinforcing strip as in claim 7, wherein the selvedge wire is of a different diameter to that of the wires forming the four-sided meshes.
14.
A reinforcing strip as in claim 8, wherein the wires forming the meshes are of different diameters.
15.
A reinforcing strip as in claim 14, wherein the wire or wires remote from the selvedge are of smaller diameter than the wire adjacent the selvedge wire
