Plastic mesh for fencing - an affordable alternative

We all know that the scientific and technical process does not stand still. New materials, the latest technology appear with surprising constancy. Sometimes even experts do not have time to follow the innovations in a particular area.

But not to notice the plastic mesh for fencing sports fields was impossible.

Enclosing rolled plastic material

The advantages of plastic mesh

This material turned out to be universal, that is, it can be used not only for fencing of special-purpose platforms, but also for any other purposes in terms of the enclosing element.

This was especially true in the country life, because fences and fences are common here. But ousting metal or wood from this niche should have been a difficult task. But the protective plastic mesh handled it.

So what helped her in this? She has plenty of advantages.

Here are just some of the main ones:

• Sufficient strength to be a walling.
• High service life.
• Easy installation.
• Low price.
• A small proportion (roll length of 20 meters weighs only seven kilograms).
• Temperature load from -50С to + 80С.
• A variety of colors. By the way, the color is preserved in its original form throughout the entire life cycle.
• It is possible to install raznovysotnyh fencing structures. The thing is that on the market today there is a plastic protective mesh of various widths from one and a half to four meters.
• The possibility of reusable use than began to use the companies that offer services such as rental fencing for construction sites.

Where plastic fencing is most commonly used

Plastic construction site fencing

This material was specially invented and produced, as a protecting element, to mark the boundaries of territories that bore some threat to human health and life. That is why the first plastic mesh appeared on the construction sites.

She enclosed:

• Ditches and pits;
• Areas where construction or installation work was carried out;
• Objects where multi-storey construction was carried out;
• Territories where landscaping and gardening were carried out;
• Places of welding and electrical work.

Attention! In the construction sector, a grid of red or orange was usually used, which immediately caught the eye and determined the places of danger.

But this was not the end of this material. It began to be used for land surveying, so the grid fell outside the city, where it was immediately appreciated by country residents. They began to use it as enclosing structures.

Note! Plastic mesh fencing is very plastic, so it is often used to create on the site various design shapes that are framed by climbing plants.

Plastic mesh manufacturing technology

The main raw material for this material is high and low pressure polyethylene, which undergoes a technological process called extrusion.

In the production process, special ingredients are added to the polyethylene that are responsible for the stability of the final product to the effects of sunlight and temperature changes. That is why the polymer mesh for fencing has such a long service life.

Plastic mesh installation technology

Installation of plastic fencing

In principle, the method of installation is no different from installing a fence from a chain-link mesh. Since these two materials are somewhat similar to each other (cellular construction), the installation method is the same.

In addition, I would like to add that the installation process is so simple that it is always the owners of country houses with their own hands. Even no instruction is needed here..

Installation of pillars

First of all, the territory to be protected is determined. On the perimeter contour at a certain distance racks are installed, which can be made of various materials.

These are mainly metal profiles (most often a pipe), wooden pillars from a bar, reinforced concrete columns, brick pedestals and so on. Since the plastic mesh for fencing is a soft and ductile material, the distance between the support posts should be less than in the case of a mesh rabbi.

Plastic fence

For each intake pillar a hole is dug into the hole where the rack is inserted and filled with concrete. Since the enclosing material has a low weight, it is not necessary to deepen the stands strongly. It is very important to correctly (precisely along the contour) install the supports themselves.

Stretch and fastening mesh

After that, the edge of the roll hook on the extreme stand. Fastening can be carried out with a usual knitting wire or with a strong polymer thread (there are quite a few such materials on sale today).

Then the roll unfolds to the next pillar, where it is necessary to stretch. After which the mount is made.

Very often, on the uprights, hooks or brackets are fastened first of all, to which the net is attached. Of course, this is a more sustainable option (besides, it simplifies the installation process), but is more expensive than the previous one.

Photo - unsupported installation method

There is one moment in this whole situation when the support stands are not used. Usually this option is used when the fence area (for example, front garden or flower garden) is not very high, that is, up to half a meter.

To do this, you just need to prepare a groove, where the edge of the mesh is inserted and filled with soil. Rarely used concrete solution.

Conclusion on the topic

It is possible to talk with delight about this obstructive material for a long time. In fact, the polymer mesh is rapidly gaining momentum in popularity. Of course, it is impossible to say that this is a powerful fence, but as a simple fence it is very much nothing.
