Some areas were around 3/8". So what I ended up doing is I picked up some lengths of 1/8" steel rod and I would use it to help me fill in those larger gaps. It was a bit of work because I would then have to make tacks on both sides of the wire until it was all smoothed up but it was better than attempting to bridge the large gap with just weld. Hope this helps.
