Extruding a sketch with multiple squares

Hello, I am trying to extrude sketch 2 in this part to create a mesh panel. How can I do this. I have attached a screenshot which hopefully will give further insight into what I am trying to achieve. 
Many Thanks!

I think you should checkout the feature linear pattern tool.

And on the screenshot's I can see that your first Extrude is a surface, is that your plan??

Not sure what end result you are after but you might able to us the "Mesh" Featurescript: https://cad.onshape.com/documents/94576072e0f50cc458311bfb/v/c6e905485753f879bc7e7e23/e/e360c54058e28b6d6b4b4337

I've used is conjunction with "frame" to create a solid mesh (it looks like a lot of work but box selecting lines of the mesh was quite easy. You should be able to extrude surfaces as well from it.
However I don't think you can extrude intersecting surfaces in one step so you would have to extrude all the vertical lines first and then all the horizontal ones ins a separate feature.
