Plastic coated mesh 160cm anthracite 2.5 mm

The height of the mesh is 160 cm , it is without a braided tension wire (read the advantages of this design in the detailed product description or assembly instructions ), the diameter of the wire including plastic coating is 2.5 mm . The mesh is made of solid hot-dip galvanized steel wire according to ČSN 426410 with a diameter of 1.7 mm , which is coated with extruded plastic after hot-dip galvanizing, the mesh is 50 mm , the color is Anthracite - black RAL 7016. Extrusion with molten plastic and a thick wire of 2.5 mm ensures a long service life and durability of over 20 years!

4-sided mesh is the most common and non-universal mesh for general use and is used especially for fencing houses, factories, playgrounds, gardens, in agriculture, orchards or for fencing industrial buildings. This mesh is manufactured according to ČSN EN 10223 which guarantees the highest quality!!!

The packaging of individual rolls is 25 meters, and we only sell it in whole rolls of 25 meters. Connecting individual meshes by entangling the connecting spiral (from which the mesh is made) is very simple and the joint is not visible at all.

We recommend the following for installation:

tension wire in 3 times the length of the mesh + reserve 10%.
binding wire - 1 pack for 50 m of braid.
ratchets - 3 pcs for 25m mesh.

The modern black color ANTHRACITE is becoming increasingly popular with more and more customers due to the combination of proven classic mesh, which stands out for its flexibility, easy assembly, low price, versatile use and the aforementioned modern black color. We have a wide range of accessories for this mesh also in the black color ANTHRACITE - posts, wires, goals and gates (for goals and gates, choose the anthracite color modification), etc...

Installing mesh without tangling the tension wire has many advantages, including:
Assembly speed (approx. 100m/morning)
Material savings (even a 5cm length of mesh can be woven anywhere)
Simplicity (anyone can install it)
Variability (does not have to be connected in a complicated way, e.g. with wire, the mesh can be untangled anywhere)

Advantage No. 1 → Mesh modularity

Thanks to its structure, the mesh can be disconnected at any point and terminated exactly where you need it. No cutting or slicing = no damage.

• Simply unhook the hook at the top and bottom of the mesh (always on the same wire) and then unroll the wire.
• The same procedure can be applied if you need to join two rolls of mesh together and continue fencing.

This allows you to create an endless piece of fencing from a square mesh, where you won't be able to tell that it was connected or terminated at any point (unlike welded mesh).

  Advantage No. 2 → Mesh flexibility

The second positive feature of square mesh is its flexibility. Light blows to the mesh, impacts, or a dog leaning against the fence, for example, do not bother the mesh. The mesh will always return to its original shape. Unlike welded mesh, where variants with weaker wire and larger meshes risk permanent deformation.

Flexibility, or if you prefer, the malleability and adaptability of the mesh, is also an advantage if you have a fence on a slope .

  Disadvantages of square mesh

Square mesh is prone to unraveling by a dog (or other animal). The good news is that this doesn't happen very often. It has to be a very active and heavy dog.

Solution to the problem?

• Add underlay boards to the fence and ideally bend the lower hooks of the mesh more (or fix them with Rocafix clips).
• Try to talk the dog out of destroying the fence.

Mesh installation WITHOUT entangled tension wire is faster and of higher quality.

1. The upper tension wire can be switched off more efficiently because it is not loaded by the mesh.

2. Assembly is faster. Wires and mesh are easier to handle.

Moreover, you can handle the assembly by one person.

Myth:

"Installing mesh without ND takes longer because you have to hang it hook by hook."

Myth busting:

Crocheting is a quick process that anyone can do. On the other hand, installing a mesh with ND can be time-consuming, precisely because of the more difficult handling and more demanding wire cutting.

WARNING! The myth probably stems from the mistaken assumption that each joint of a non-ND mesh must be disconnected, hung and reconnected. However, this is a bad practice and, in addition to taking considerably longer to assemble, the fence will also be unstable and unsightly.

The right solution? It is always hung on only one of the two hooks. You just need to open the hook slightly and hang the mesh. Nothing comes loose! 1 hook = 2 to 4 seconds

2) method of disconnecting and connecting the mesh

The second big advantage of mesh without tension wire is that it is easier to disconnect and connect.

You already have the wires installed on the posts in the required length. You can then easily disconnect the mesh without tension wire where needed or, conversely, connect two rolls together and prepare the required parts for the fence.

Disconnecting and connecting is easy. To disconnect, simply unhook the hook on both ends of one vertical wire and pull the wire out. To connect two rolls, proceed in a similar manner.

Moreover, the mesh without tension wire is also visually better. There is no visible interference with the mesh anywhere on the fence.

Differences between mesh with and without tension wire

Mesh without tension wire only means that the mesh roll does not include tension wire. However, you do not have to worry that the fence with this mesh variant would be installed without tension wires and the mesh would not be reinforced with anything. A square mesh fence is always installed with tension wire, which is its main supporting element. Only in the case of the variant without tension wire, does it need to be purchased separately for the mesh.

→ Square mesh without pre-braided tension wire ✓

→ Square mesh with top and bottom tension wire already braided from the factory ✓

Differences in purchasing

If you are perceptive, you will have noticed that we only mentioned the upper and lower tension wires. The central tension wire is technically not possible to weave into the mesh during production. Therefore, even for the mesh variant with tension wire, the central wire needs to be purchased separately.

When is a central tension wire (hereinafter referred to as ND) needed and when is it not?

• 100 cm mesh height | not required

• 125 cm mesh height | should be

• 135 cm and higher mesh | must be

We definitely wouldn't miss the 125 cm variant and consider the 100 cm variant.

Price difference

As for the price, both options are about the same. The mesh without ND is a bit cheaper, but you also have to buy the aforementioned upper and lower tension wire.

Usually the difference in price is only a few crowns, at most a few dozen crowns. Therefore, if we were you, we would not make a decision based on price when choosing a variant.

The importance of the upper tension wire

In a square mesh, the upper tension wire is always the supporting element. The mesh is suspended from it. Yes, the lower and central ND are also important, but they serve more of a supporting, reinforcing element. Therefore, the upper tension wire is really the most important element of the entire fence.

Difference in assembly

We have two basic differences in assembly and two unpleasant myths associated with them.

1) Difference in working with tension wires.

2) Different ways of disconnecting and connecting the mesh.

1) Difference in assembly → different work with tension wires

Tension wire mesh (with ND)

The mesh with tension wire is installed by attaching it to the first post using tensioners (or ratchets). You unroll the mesh and then attach it to the last post and use the tensioners to turn it off.

Mesh without tension wire (without ND)

You put the mesh completely aside at the beginning of the assembly. You take a separate tension wire, install it on the posts and then turn it off. Only then do you hang the mesh on it.

Mesh installation WITHOUT entangled tension wire is faster and of better quality. Why?

1. The upper tension wire can be switched off more efficiently because it is not loaded by the mesh.

2. Assembly is faster. Wires and mesh are easier to handle.

Moreover, you can handle the assembly by one person.

Myth:

"Installing mesh without ND takes longer because you have to hang it hook by hook."

Myth busting:

Crocheting is a quick process that anyone can do. On the other hand, installing a mesh with ND can be time-consuming, precisely because of the more difficult handling and more demanding wire cutting.

2) Difference in assembly → method of disconnecting and connecting the mesh

The second big advantage of mesh without tension wire is that it is easier to disconnect and connect.

Since it is more demanding for mesh with ND:

A) Weave the vertical wire mesh.

B) Work with already entangled tension wire.

In case of disconnection, you must cut the tension wire. In case of connecting two rolls of mesh, you must tie it somewhere.

On the other hand, mesh without tension wire does not have these problems. You already have wires installed on the posts in the required length. Mesh without tension wire can then be easily disconnected where needed or, conversely, you can connect two rolls together and prepare the required parts for the fence.

Disconnecting and connecting is easy. To disconnect, simply unhook the hook on both ends of one vertical wire and pull the wire out. To connect two rolls, proceed in a similar manner.

Moreover, the mesh without tension wire is also visually better. There is no visible interference with the mesh anywhere on the fence.

Other minor differences

Mesh with ND

• Its upper end is quite solid and sharp.

o Potential advantage: security feature.

o Potential disadvantage: someone could get hurt.

• The role of the mesh is to make it easier to untangle "standing" vertically.

We recommend that you always unroll the mesh without tension wire on flat ground. And do so very carefully. If you pull it when you shouldn't, you risk bending the mesh wires and damaging it.

Mesh without ND

• Smaller roll dimensions.

o This makes it easier to transport. You can even fit 100 meters of mesh into a car.

o It is easier to store. This is useful if you do not start assembly immediately.

Summary

You can't go wrong with either type of mesh.

Mesh with ND

Tension wire mesh may not be a bad choice if you have a plot of land with fewer straight sides. You have enough people, patience, and you measure and think everything through well.

Mesh without ND

In most cases, as we have shown, a mesh without ND is a better option.

You will install it faster, you will be able to turn off the tension wire better and you can also handle the installation by one person. Last but not least, you will be able to easily disconnect and connect the mesh at any point.
