A fence is not only a building for the safety of people, but also a stylistic addition that gives beauty and a finished look to a summer cottage. There is a huge variety of fences. However, choosing a design that meets your needs is sometimes difficult. If you want your summer cottage to look modern without spending special efforts for the arrangement of the territory, and at the same time you have a small sum of money, then the garden grid - the best option. How to choose a garden fence mesh? What should be considered when deciding on a purchase? We hope this article fully answers the questions raised.
Performance characteristics
The garden plastic grid has a number of advantages. Here is some of them:
Of course, the garden plastic mesh for the fence has its drawbacks, which are explained by the peculiarities of its design. This:
- Relative strength. A polymer mesh fence cannot protect against intruders, since the threads of the polymer mesh are easily cut.
- Fence transparency. Such a fence will not save the yard from prying eyes, strong gusty winds and dust.
Installation of a plastic mesh
To install a plastic mesh fence, you do not need any special equipment. As a support, you can use wooden or metal beams installed at a distance of 2-3 m from each other. You can attach the mesh to the beams using plastic or metal clamps or wire, and the mesh itself can be easily cut into pieces required size ordinary garden scissors (secateurs). In order to strengthen the structure, it is advisable to run the wire along the upper and lower edges of the cut garden mesh web.
Due to the low weight polymer mesh one person will be able to mount and dismantle. Polymer garden netting is fairly easy to roll up and store until needed again.
How to make the right choice
In order not to miss anything, when choosing a garden net, pay attention to the following points:
- First of all, you need to decide what type of fence you need: it will be a fence to enclose everything personal plot or a fence dividing the territory inside the site into zones. It is worth noting that many experienced gardeners are engaged in zoning only in order to protect plants from adverse conditions. And someone just wants to separate the garden area from the recreation area, etc.
- Then you need to think about how high your fence will be, and measure the size of the area that you are going to fence. These parameters are very important, because you will need to proceed from them when choosing a roll or rolls of garden mesh with the appropriate dimensions (meaning the length and width of the roll).
- If you want to decorate the area of the proposed fence, then at this stage you must decide whether the fence will be a boring construction or climbing plants will braid it, creating shade and giving the site a beautiful finished look. And here you also have the opportunity to decide on the color of the desired fence: whether it will be standard green, khaki or another shade that suits you (for example, you can buy a mesh to match the color of the metal - a silver shade, or you can stop at orange, black, white or red).
On cost plastic nets affects not only the weight and cost of raw materials from polymers, but also the cost of copolymers and dyes.
A few tips for the master to note
Site zoning
Since polymer garden nets are used for different types fences, there is a little trick to choosing the cell size. Grid with large cells - perfect solution for a fence enclosing the entire personal plot. In addition, it is used for fencing shrubs, play areas, tennis courts, swimming pools, as well as for separating garden paths, arrangement of flower beds and beds.
With the help of a grid with large cells, your fence can easily turn into hedge. Such a grid will serve as a support for the folding and climbing plants. For example, ivy climbing roses, clematis, ornamental grapes and others.
Grid for decoration decorative fence
For fencing the area suburban area most suitable option is a plastic garden grid F-50 with large cells.
Manufacturers
When choosing a plastic mesh for a fence, you can get confused, not knowing what to give preference to - products of world leaders or products of domestic manufacturers. To date, plastic mesh from such world leaders as Tensar (USA), Conwed Plastics (USA or Belgium) and Tenax (Italy) has proven itself well.
For example, from a wide range of Tenax products (Italy), you can pay attention to the mesh gray color"Millennium" (mesh size 34×48 mm), which is a good alternative to metal meshes and is particularly durable due to a special production technology using the process of molecular orientation of polymer fibers along two axes. This grid is used both for zoning a personal plot, and for the construction of aviaries or pens for animals and birds.
Imitation of chain-link mesh
Tenax Griffin laminated mesh (mesh size 60×45 mm) can be optimally used for fencing the territory of a personal plot, as well as for the construction of a livestock fence and fencing from sand and snow deposits, which is distinguished by its flexibility and strength.
Fence nets produced domestic producers, such as Stren, Lepse, Project (Slavros), are in no way inferior in quality and assortment to their imported counterparts, gaining more and more popularity in the market.
To whom or what to give preference - everyone decides individually, based on their desires and capabilities. If you have some experience in this matter and wish to supplement the article with your tips on how to choose a garden net, please write comments.
The video shows the varieties of Tenax plastic nets:
Fences made of mesh have their own positive traits(light transmittance, easy do-it-yourself installation, etc.), but at the same time there are also disadvantages, in particular, a wide view from the street. If you consider a different type of mesh for a fence, you can choose the most acceptable performance in terms of properties.
Among the main varieties: chain-link, its welded counterpart, corrugated and lightweight metal mesh for the fence, as well as plastic look. The choice is made taking into account the level of reliability of the intake web, performance characteristics and the possibility of installing it yourself.
Chain-link mesh: varieties and features
Fencing of this kind is one of the most affordable. Similar designs can be built using the following varieties as a basis:
- Not galvanized;
- Galvanized;
- With polymer coated.
Non-galvanized from black wire will not last long, no more than 3 years, And already 3-4 days after its installation, rust will begin to appear.
The grid on the country fence is selected taking into account the characteristics of these species. So, the option without anti-corrosion protection will very quickly become unusable, since the structure is in constant contact with a humid environment (air, soil, precipitation, watering the site, etc.). A non-galvanized fence requires painting, and immediately after installation.
The galvanized version is not susceptible to corrosion, it is not much more expensive than the ferrous metal counterpart and is very popular.
Another version - galvanized, does not need additional protection, but the zinc layer is quite fragile and can be damaged, which will also lead to rust.
The mesh for the construction of fences, covered with plastic, lasts longer than other analogues, since it is somewhat more difficult to damage the polymer layer, however, and it is offered at a higher price.
The main positive qualities of the chain-link mesh for fences:
- Lets light through;
- Characterized by low weight;
- Do-it-yourself installation is very simple (attached to the embedded parts of the supporting pillars);
- She passes air;
- Does not obscure the area;
- It is inexpensive.
The plasticized material has excellent anti-corrosion properties. More expensive than previous options.
But the main disadvantage of the fence mesh is not a very attractive look. The disadvantages also include low strength characteristics and the possibility of sagging. More reliable is the execution with small size cells. There is a chain-link mesh for fences with cells ranging from 20 to 70 cm on the side.
Welded mesh
Such a fence cloth is usually attached to metal frame from profile pipe, corner. This makes it more reliable. Longer than other designs is a polymer-coated fence sheet and an analogue made by the method of initial welding followed by galvanization.
The main positive qualities of such a grid for fences:
- It transmits light and does not interfere with the movement of air masses.
- Due to the fact that the welded fence mesh is attached to the frame, forming sections ready for installation, the process of installing the fence with your own hands is significantly accelerated.
- Does not shade the area.
- If desired, you can create a fence of any height, but, for example, chain-link structures are limited in size in height, since this kind of canvas is offered in rolls of a certain width.
- It is characterized by protective properties, because this type of fence mesh will be more difficult to damage.
There are also disadvantages: the need for mandatory painting of a fence made of welded mesh; a lot of weight somewhat complicates the installation with your own hands, you will have to call an assistant; higher price than chain-link fence mesh.
Corrugated mesh material
This is a highly specialized type, which is also called a canned mesh. It is usually used in production: screening ores, installation of protective fences, filtration systems. But it is quite possible to build fences from corrugated mesh.
The thickness of the rods reaches 10 mm, and this indicates an increased strength of the fence. It is based on a wavy wire, which makes this kind of mesh on the fence fixed and distinguishes it from the chain-link.
They use a complex corrugated mesh for equipping fencing systems in workshops, it perfectly provides emergency safety.
Main positive qualities:
- Long-term operation due to the use of a galvanized coating or stainless steel;
- The fence cloth of this type cannot be quickly damaged, which means that the design is characterized by excellent protective properties;
- A simple do-it-yourself installation process, since the corrugated version is usually installed on any fences in the form of panels;
- Mesh on country fences corrugated wire lasts longer due to the absence of welded joints, which usually violate protective covering;
- Due to the increased strength of one section, it is possible to install poles on long distance(up to 5 m).
The main disadvantage is the high price. The grid for country fences made of corrugated wire will cost more than the previously considered varieties.
Lightweight metal
From the name it becomes clear that such a fence is lightweight, as it is made from very fine wire. Cell sizes vary significantly: from 5 to 15 cm on the side.
This a budget option fencing, provides an almost complete, albeit temporary, fence
Given the low strength characteristics, unaesthetic appearance, for a fence, such a grid will cost less than other options. It is usually used as a temporary fence or for the purpose of delimiting the territory.
But there are also pluses, for example, lightweight mesh fences are very easy to build with your own hands, in addition, it will also take little time.
Plastic variant
The manufacturing process is based on extruded polystyrene foam. There are several main types of fabric:
- Plastic analog of a metal chain-link. In structure, both versions are very similar, but if the first of them is used, a fence made of such a mesh will last longer, since it does not contain metal.
- For emergency fencing - a highly specialized design, distinguished by a bright red tint, which allows you to focus on areas of increased danger.
- Garden lattice - used for the purpose of zoning a summer cottage, fencing enclosures, etc.
Often plastic version used for fencing individual areas inside a garden, summer cottage or construction site.
The main advantages of using plastic: the simplest installation, since the polymer mesh fence is lightweight, which allows you to complete the entire installation process yourself; a wide range of materials, different in cell size, shade and roll dimensions; resistance to external factors(precipitation, high, low temperatures).
In addition, this option does not need processing and care, does not contain harmful substances and is operated for a very long period (up to 40 years). The main disadvantage is low strength.
The most durable and durable look is corrugated panels. The welded analogue does not last so long, but it can withstand significant loads. A chain-link, lightweight and plastic version is the easiest to install with your own hands.
And in addition, such grids are cheaper than other analogues. Welded, corrugated material and netting are offered in different variations: galvanized, polymer-coated, stainless steel.
Today, a mesh fence is considered one of the most popular types of fencing. Completely different objects are surrounded by such a fence: dachas, sports and industrial sites, enterprises, parks, private territory . In each case, it is worth choosing a specific type of grid. What are the main types of mesh for the fence exist And how to choose the most suitable for specific conditions?
Rabitz
One of the most popular fence mesh options. She fenced every second summer cottage, and all thanks to numerous advantages:
- durability;
- strength and ability to withstand a wide range of temperatures;
- ease of installation;
- relatively low price;
- opportunity to use removed mesh re;
- netting visually separates the boundaries of space, but does not interfere with the penetration of sunlight.
This mesh option is great not only for summer cottages , but also for fencing various sports facilities, playgrounds, ponds etc.
Varieties of chain-link mesh
The chain-link mesh can be such three main types:
When choosing a chain-link mesh, attention must be paid to the size of its cells, which can vary from 25 to 70 mm. The smaller the cells, the stronger the mesh, but the less light it will let through. The choice must be made based on your own requirements and the characteristics of the fenced area. So, for giving a mesh with cells of 40-60 mm is optimally suited: this way the light will penetrate enough, and the strength will be acceptable. For children and sports grounds it is better to choose a fish with cells no more than 40 mm so that it can withstand, for example, ball strikes.
Welded mesh
Welded mesh is considered the strongest and most durable, which is determined by the peculiarities of its production. That is why it is usually used fencing sports fields and tennis courts. It is also used for fencing industrial and construction sites and private territory.
If the chain-link mesh is sold in rolls, then the welded mesh is often sold in cards, which, again, is dictated by its properties and production features. At the heart of such a network is a strong steel wire diameter from 3 to 5 mm. Usually , the cell size is 100*150mm, and the card size is 2*2.5m. All the bars that make up the mesh are welded to each other at the intersections, which gave the name to the mesh. Thanks to this feature, welded mesh fences are strong, reliable and durable. Moreover, each fragment of the grid is additionally supplied with stiffeners: they are responsible for maintaining the original shape of the grid map and the fence from it.
Features of welded mesh production technology
mesh can produced in two ways:
- before the welding process, the wire is galvanized, but the protective coating is partially erased at the welding points. This means that in the future it is in these places that the corrosion process can develop;
- welding, and only then galvanizing. This is a more advanced mesh production process, which eliminates its weak points and makes it as stable as possible against all environmental influences.
By the way, it should be noted that some manufacturers additionally cover the welded mesh with a polymer giving it maximum protection and durability. A wide selection of such welded meshes is presented on the website http://sitka.com.ua/ru/page-51/.
Due to its structure, the welded mesh has many advantages. By strength a fence made of it can be compared with a fence made of a metal sheet, and special protrusions do not allow free entry into the fenced area through the fence. In addition, such a grid can be used to fence territories with any terrain, and if any fragment of the fence is damaged, then one of the grid maps easy to replace. For all its strength, such a fence easy to install, is light weight and allows sunlight to pass through. The only negative is the higher price compared to the chain-link mesh.
corrugated mesh
corrugated mesh, which is often called canned, is different high strength, therefore, it is used not only for fencing, but even in some production processes. Before making the mesh, the wire is slightly bent to form a wave-like profile, and then the wire is interlaced as in the manufacture of fabric.
Corrugated wire is sold in cards rather than rolls due to its strength and stiffness. The thickness of the rods can vary from 2 to 7 mm, but for fencing cottages and sports areas, a mesh with a wire thickness of not more than 3 mm is suitable. Cell size can vary from 1 * 1 cm to 10 * 10 cm, depending on the scope of the grid. For fencing, it is better to purchase a mesh with a maximum cell size.
Lightweight metal mesh
Such a grid looks light even in appearance, so it is used for temporary fencing only to mark the boundaries of the territory. Great for fencing e.g. construction sites.
Outwardly, such a mesh can even resemble threads, it is so thin and light. The transverse and longitudinal wires are connected in this case by a hinged knot, and the size of the cells varies even in one roll. The height of the cells starts from 15 cm and decreases with each row to 5 cm, and then increases again. Thus, the necessary strength is achieved with the lightness of the mesh. This option is considered the cheapest, but it does not differ in enormous durability: temporary construction works survive, but nothing more.
plastic mesh
Plastic nets today in some cases, they can become a full-fledged replacement for traditional metal counterparts. At the heart of such a mesh is an extruded polymer, from which subsequently interwoven fibers are made.
The main advantages of plastic meshes include:
- simple process of transportation and installation, since the material is very light, and it is possible to create a fence even without additional connecting elements;
- huge selection grids that differ in color, size and shape of cells, the height of the canvas itself. All this allows you to create a structure of the required size and with the required parameters;
- polymers more resistant to negative factors environment . They are not subject to corrosion, so it will be unnecessary to cover them regularly. protective layer paint or any other means;
- plastic mesh withstands wide temperature fluctuations without changing its properties;
- durability, which is measured in tens of years. So, the grid can last about 40 years;
- security and non-toxic material;
- exposed to direct sunlight mesh will not change either its color or its shape;
- ease of care Because any contamination can be washed off with plain water.
But there is one major drawback. – the strength of the plastic mesh is low, so it cannot become a full-fledged protection against intruders. That is why it is often used to protect certain areas inside a garden, summer cottage or construction site.
Varieties of plastic nets for fencing
Today allocate several types of plastic meshes, which differ in purpose:
- garden trellis- the most versatile type of plastic mesh. It is used to protect all kinds of garden structures, different beds, aviaries and pens. Moreover, it is often used as a basis for climbing plants;
- plastic mesh netting in structure resembles a metal counterpart. It is based on high-strength polyethylene, thanks to which such nets are considered the most durable of all plastic;
- emergency grid often used on construction sites to indicate places with increased danger, as well as during sports and cultural events. To highlight the fenced area, the grid is painted with luminescent paint.
IN CONCLUSION
Of all those present at construction market types of grids, you can easily choose the one that will best suit your specific wishes. It is always necessary to take into account the requirements that are put forward to the fence, and compare them with operational characteristics different grids.
A fence is not only a building for the safety of people, but also a stylistic addition that gives beauty and a finished look to a summer cottage. There is a huge variety of fences. However, choosing a design that meets your needs is sometimes difficult. If you want your summer cottage to look modern without spending much effort on landscaping, and at the same time have a small amount of money, then a garden grid is the best option. How to choose a garden fence mesh? What should be considered when deciding on a purchase? We hope this article fully answers the questions raised.
The garden plastic grid has a number of advantages. Here is some of them:
- Light weight, which greatly facilitates the process of transportation. So, on average, a roll (bay) weighs 6–8 kg and has a length of 20–100 m (for comparison: a steel analogue of a mesh weighs more than 23 kg).
- The installation process is quite simple, which is why you can use this fence both permanently and as a temporary one - portable.
- A wide range of garden netting. Manufacturers produce a grid of different colors with different cell sizes, widths and heights, which allows you to adapt designs to any need.
- Does not corrode and rot. The polymer mesh does not need to be coated with antiseptic protective agents.
- Durable. A plastic garden net will last you at least 50 years.
- Able to withstand heavy loads and not lose properties at temperatures from -60°C to +80°C.
- During operation, the mesh does not change color and does not heat up, since these products have a high level of resistance to UF radiation and are characterized by a low thermal conductivity.
- Made from environmentally friendly and safe raw materials.
- Ease of care. No need to paint and treat with all sorts of means, and any dirt can be removed with ordinary warm water from a hose.
- As a result of the absence of metal in its composition, this type of fence does not interfere with the passage of radio waves and unhindered reception of radio and television programs is possible.
- Low cost, which makes it affordable for families with different income levels. As a rule, the price of a polymer garden net is at least 5 times lower than the price of its metal counterpart.
Of course, the garden plastic mesh for the fence has its drawbacks, which are explained by the peculiarities of its design. This:
- Relative strength. A polymer mesh fence cannot protect against intruders, since the threads of the polymer mesh are easily cut.
- Fence transparency. Such a fence will not save the yard from prying eyes, strong gusty winds and dust.

You can attach the mesh to the beams using plastic or metal clamps or wire, and the mesh itself can be easily cut into pieces of the required size with ordinary garden shears (pruners). In order to strengthen the structure, it is advisable to run the wire along the upper and lower edges of the cut garden mesh web.
Due to the low weight, the polymer mesh can be mounted and dismantled by one person. Polymer garden netting is fairly easy to roll up and store until needed again.
In order not to miss anything, when choosing a garden net, pay attention to the following points:
- First of all, you need to decide what type of fence you need: it will be a fence to enclose the entire backyard plot or a fence that divides the territory inside the plot into zones. It is worth noting that many experienced gardeners are engaged in zoning only in order to protect plants from adverse conditions. And someone just wants to separate the garden area from the recreation area, etc.
- Then you need to think about how high your fence will be, and measure the size of the area that you are going to fence.

With the help of a grid with large cells, your fence can easily turn into a hedge. Such a net will serve as a support for spreading and climbing plants. For example, ivy, climbing roses, clematis, decorative grapes and others.
For fencing the territory of a summer cottage, the most suitable option is a plastic garden mesh F-50 with large cells.
When choosing a plastic mesh for a fence, you can get confused, not knowing what to give preference to - products of world leaders or products of domestic manufacturers.

Hello dear friends! Today we will consider a very important component of facade decoration - a grid for wall plastering. When insulating a house heat-insulating material with subsequent plastering, the reinforcement process cannot be dispensed with.
For this, a special material is used - a reinforcing mesh for wall plastering.
What is its purpose, is it possible to do without construction mesh for plastering when performing separate " wet facade”, what types are offered today in the building materials markets and how to make a choice? We'll tell you below.
Properties:
- moisture resistance, resistance to temperature changes;
- low extensibility and deformation;
- high tensile strength;
- short specific gravity, does not weigh down the structure;
- resistance to aggressive environments.
All these properties help to significantly improve the quality of thermal insulation, as well as significantly extend the service life of thermal insulation and decorative layer. But all this cannot be done without first reinforcing the wall.
Fiberglass mesh - made of fiberglass, it is often used as a reinforcing mesh for plaster walls. Depending on the purpose, they are classified into:
- conventional, used for the base layer of plaster;
- reinforced, used to reinforce special structures, for example, when insulating the foundation, ground floors etc.;
- architectural, applied to specific elements of architecture.
Metal mesh for plastering or galvanized mesh - this mesh has a long service life and can be used in finishing any facades. For example, metal meshes for plastering can be used when finishing the facade with tiles (it is heavy and a powerful reinforcing layer is needed) or a plinth, when finishing with stone.
And also when choosing a facade mesh for plastering, be sure to take into account its density. Since strength and other important physical characteristics- depends on its density:
- up to 90g/m2 – for interior decoration and painting works;
- from 90 to 220 g/m2 - to strengthen the facade plaster, we recommend using this mesh in thermal insulation works;
- more than 220g/m2 - to strengthen elements of buildings subjected to maximum load or located in the ground.
What does the color say?
Today in construction stores you can find fiberglass mesh for reinforcement of different colors. There are five base colors: white, blue, green, orange, yellow.
Why are they available in different colors? This is done by manufacturers so that visually the meshes of different densities and with different mesh sizes differ from each other, and the buyer can easily determine which mesh for plastering he needs and which mesh to choose.
For example, one well-known manufacturer orange fiberglass mesh has a density of 150 g/m2 and a mesh size of 5x5 mm, white - 45 g/m2 and 2x2 mm, respectively. Today, when choosing, I would not focus only on color. this product. Below we will describe the selection steps, by reading this you will be more prepared and easily cope with the selection task.
Choosing a mesh
When choosing a material for reinforcement when installing thermal insulation, you should pay attention to the following indicators:
- Density, it should be from 145 to 160 g / m2, optimal size 5x5 mm.
- Weaving quality and durability. To do this, just take a small piece and crumple. A good mesh should not tear, deform, and quickly return to its original shape.
- Resistance to aggressive environments. The material must be treated with special alkali-resistant compounds.
- Price. The cost of reinforcing material general rule should not exceed more than 5% of the total cost of insulation.
- Security. Feel free to ask the seller for a certificate of hygienic safety.
Fiberglass mesh for the facade is available in rolls of various sizes (usually 20 meters or 50 meters). The roll must be even and dense, it must have a label indicating the manufacturer and the characteristics of the material.
How to choose the right grid?
At experienced builders there are rules for choosing a grid, and we will tell you about them. Be sure to check it for tensile strength. Take a piece of mesh in your hand and squeeze it, if it is of high quality, then it should return to its original shape - it will straighten out.
Firstly, you need to decide why you need it, what you will do: plaster, tile, what is the thickness of the planned plaster, etc. Let's look at the choice with an example:
- If the layer of our plaster (finish) does not exceed 5 mm, then it is recommended to use fiberglass mesh for reinforcement. I almost forgot to say, the reinforced plaster mesh evens out the wall we are working on a little more. It is clear that it does not even out large differences, but it smooths out very well.
- Now consider the case when the plaster layer is more than 5 mm, then it is necessary to use a galvanized metal mesh, it will make the layer very strong. But be careful, we are talking about galvanized, not about steel mesh. In no case should steel be used for facade decoration, as it oxidizes (rusts) and can ruin everything for you.
- If you are already finishing the finish and you have a final, thin layer left, then you can use a canvas with very small cells.
- If work is underway on a drywall surface, then a plastic grate is also suitable.
Output
Since the main purpose plaster mesh- this is the creation of a powerful reinforcing base for further fixing on it the entire array of plaster or another variant of the exterior finish of the facade of the building, its choice must be taken seriously.
Imagine what will happen if you save on it and as a result everything will crack decorative plaster, which significantly exceeds the price of even the most expensive facade mesh. Or, will start falling off decorative tiles which is also not cheap. There is only one conclusion - facade grid there is no need to save money.
