One of the good things about mesh is its flexibility and its ability to fill areas not suitable for pre-formed ventilators.\u00a0 One of the disadvantages of mesh is also its flexibility.\u00a0 As the photo below illustrates it doesn\u2019t take long for some mesh to start sagging if it\u2019s not fitted securely.<\/p>\n

Here are our top three tips for choosing and fitting mesh:-<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Consider the gauge of the mesh.\u00a0 A very fine mesh will quickly become blocked with airborne dust and debris restricting the path of air and the amount of ventilation available.\u00a0 Finer mesh also requires regular maintenance checks and cleaning, which may not be practical given the awkward nature of most mesh placements.<\/li>\n
  2. Consider what material the mesh is made from.\u00a0 Plastic and metal mesh types are generally quite rigid and therefore self-supporting whereas a fabric-like mesh, like the one pictured, is softer and may be more prone to sagging.<\/li>\n
  3. Use more fixings than you think is needed to prevent the mesh dropping over time.\u00a0 Don\u2019t forget it may get the odd peck and pull from a bird or two so needs to be secure.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    Rytons Mesh is made from high density polyethylene, a lightweight yet very strong material.\u00a0 It features 4mm x 4mm holes, which allow a good air flow whilst preventing the entry of birds and larger insects.\u00a0 It is weather resistant and corrosion proof for a long lasting mesh requiring minimal maintenance checks.\u00a0 Find out more here<\/a>.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][vc_column width=”1\/3″ rt_wrp_col_paddings=”false” rt_border_top=”” rt_border_bottom=”” rt_border_left=”” rt_border_right=”” rt_border_top_mobile=”” rt_border_bottom_mobile=”” rt_border_left_mobile=”” rt_border_right_mobile=”” rt_bg_image_repeat=”repeat” rt_bg_size=”auto auto” rt_bg_position=”right top” rt_bg_attachment=”scroll”][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n
