A fence is not only a structure 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 suits your needs is sometimes challenging. 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 net - 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

Garden plastic mesh has a number of advantages. Here is some of them:

Of course, a plastic garden fence mesh has its drawbacks, which are explained by the peculiarities of its design. It:

• Relative strength. A fence made of a polymer mesh cannot protect against intruders, since the threads of a polymer mesh are easily cut.
• The transparency of the fence. Such a fence will not save the yard from prying eyes, strong gusty winds and dust.

Installation of plastic mesh

You don't need any special equipment to install a plastic mesh fence. 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 shears (pruning shears). In order to strengthen the structure, it is advisable to run the wire along the upper and lower edges of the trimmed canvas of the garden mesh.

Due to the low weight polymer mesh one person can both mount and dismantle. Polymer 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 mesh, pay attention to the following points:

• First of all, you need to decide what type of fence you need: it will be a fence for fencing everything personal plot or a fence dividing the territory within the site into zones. It is worth noting that many experienced gardeners are engaged in zoning only in order to protect plants from unfavorable conditions... And someone just wants to highlight the vegetable 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, since 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 territory of the proposed fence, then at this stage you must decide whether the fence will be a boring structure or it will be braided by climbing plants, creating shade and giving the site a beautiful finished look. And also here you 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 in the color of a metal - a silver shade, or you can stop at orange, black, white or red).

At the cost plastic nets influences 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 nets are used for different types fences, there is a little trick about the cell size selection. Coarse mesh - perfect solution for a fence that encloses 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 the large mesh mesh, your fence can be easily transformed into hedge... Such a mesh will serve as a support for the spreading and climbing plants... For example, ivy, climbing roses, clematis, ornamental grapes and others.

Grid for decoration decorative fence

For fencing the territory suburban area most suitable option is a plastic garden mesh F-50 with large cells.

Manufacturers

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 products Tenax (Italy), you can pay attention to the mesh gray"Millennium" (cell 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 corrals for animals and birds.

Chain-link mesh imitation

For fencing the territory of the personal plot, as well as for the construction of a fence for livestock and fencing from sand and snow deposits, the laminated mesh "Griffin" Tenax (mesh size 60 × 45 mm), which is distinguished by its flexibility and strength, can be optimally used.

Fence nets produced by domestic producers, such as Stran, Lepse, Project (Slavros), are in no way inferior in quality and offered assortment to their imported counterparts, gaining more and more popularity in the market.

Who or what to give preference to - everyone decides individually, based on their desires and capabilities. If you have some experience in this matter and would like to supplement the article with your advice on how to choose a garden mesh, please post comments.

Mesh fences have their own positive traits(light transmission, simple DIY installation, etc.), but at the same time there are drawbacks, in particular, a wide view from the street. If we consider the different types of mesh for the fence, you can choose the most acceptable performance in terms of properties.

Among the main varieties: the chain-link, its welded analogue, corrugated and metal lightweight mesh for the fence, as well as plastic look... The choice is made taking into account the level of reliability of the fence, operational characteristics and the possibility of self-installation.

Mesh-netting: varieties and features

This kind of fencing is one of the most affordable. Such structures can be built using the following varieties as a basis:

• Not galvanized;
• Galvanized;
• WITH polymer coating.

Non-galvanized 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 mesh for the country fence is selected taking into account the characteristics of the named types. So, a version 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.). Non-galvanized fencing requires painting, and immediately after installation.

The galvanized version does not corrode, it is not much more expensive than its ferrous metal counterpart and is very popular.

Another design is galvanized, does not need additional protection, but the zinc layer is a rather fragile coating and can be damaged, which will also lead to the formation of rust.

Plastic-coated mesh for the construction of fences 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 a mesh-netting for fences:

1. Transmits light;
2. It is characterized by low weight;
3. Do-it-yourself installation is very simple (attached to the embedded parts of the support pillars);
4. She lets air in;
5. Does not obscure the area;
6. It is inexpensive.

The plasticized material has excellent anti-corrosion properties. At a cost more expensive than the previous options.

But the main disadvantage of the fence mesh is not very attractive appearance. The disadvantages also include low strength characteristics and the possibility of sagging. More reliable is 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 is usually attached to metal frame from shaped pipe, corner. This makes it more reliable. A polymer-coated fence and an analogue made by the method of initial welding followed by galvanizing serve longer than other designs.

The main positive qualities of such a mesh for fences:

1. Transmits light and does not interfere with the movement of air masses.
2. 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.
3. Does not shade the area.
4. If you wish, you can create a fence of any height, but, for example, chain-link structures are limited in size in height, since this type of canvas is offered in rolls of a certain width.
5. It is characterized by protective properties, because this type of mesh on the fence will be more difficult to damage.

There are also disadvantages: the need for mandatory painting of the welded mesh fence; the large weight somewhat complicates the installation with your own hands, you will have to call an assistant; higher price than a chain-link fence mesh.

Corrugated mesh material

This is a highly specialized type, which is also called crimped mesh. It is usually used in production: screening of ores, installation of protective fences, filtration systems. But it is quite possible to erect corrugated mesh fences.

The thickness of the rods reaches 10 mm, and this indicates the increased strength of the fence. It is based on a wavy wire, which makes this type of mesh on the fence stationary and distinguishes it from the chain-link.

They use 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 galvanized coating or stainless steel;
• The fence of this type cannot be damaged quickly, which means that the structure is characterized by excellent protective properties;
• A simple do-it-yourself installation process, since the corrugated version on any fences is usually installed in the form of panels;
• Grid on country fences corrugated wire lasts longer due to the absence of welds that would normally break protective covering;
• Due to the increased strength of one section, it is possible to install poles on great distance(up to 5 m).

The main disadvantage is the high price. A 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, since it is made from a very thin wire... The sizes of the cells 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 mesh will be cheaper 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, fences from a lightweight mesh are very easy to build with your own hands, in addition, it will also take little time.

Plastic option

The manufacturing process is based on extruded polystyrene foam. There are several main types of canvas:

1. Plastic analogue of a metal chain-link. In terms of 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.
2. For emergency fencing - a highly specialized version, distinguished by a bright red tint, which allows you to focus on areas of increased danger.
3. Garden lattice - used for the purpose of zoning a summer cottage, enclosure fencing, etc.

Often plastic option used for fencing individual areas inside a garden, summer cottage or construction site.

The main advantages of using plastic: the simplest possible installation, since the fence made of polymer mesh is lightweight, which allows you to complete the entire installation process with your own hands; a wide range of materials with different mesh sizes, shades and roll dimensions; resistance to external factors(precipitation, high, low temperatures).

In addition, this option does not need processing and maintenance, does not contain harmful substances and has been in operation for a very long period (up to 40 years). The main disadvantage is low strength.

The most durable and durable type is corrugated panels. The welded analog does not last so long, but it can withstand significant loads. The chain-link, lightweight and plastic version is easiest to install with your own hands.

And additionally, such grids are cheaper than other analogues. Welded, corrugated material and chain-link are offered in different variations: galvanized, polymer-coated, stainless steel.

Today, mesh fence is considered one of the most popular types of fencing. Completely different objects are surrounded by such a fence: summer cottages, sports and industrial grounds, enterprises, parks, private territory ... In each case, it is worth choosing a certain type of mesh. What are the main types of fence mesh and how to choose the most suitable for specific conditions?

Rabitz

One of the most popular fence mesh options. She fenced off every second summer cottage, and all thanks numerous advantages:

• durability;
• strength and ability to withstand a wide range of temperatures;
• ease of installation;
• relatively low price;
• opportunity to use removed mesh again;
• mesh-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, reservoirs etc.

Varieties of mesh-netting

The mesh-netting can be such three main types:

When choosing a chain-link mesh, attention should be paid to and the size of its cells, which can vary from 25 to 70 mm. The finer the cells, the stronger the mesh, but the less light it will transmit. The choice must be made based on your own requirements and characteristics of the fenced area. So, for giving a mesh with cells of 40-60 mm is optimal: this way enough light will penetrate, and the strength will be acceptable. For children and sports grounds it is better to choose a fish with cells of no more than 40 mm so that it can withstand, for example, blows from a ball.

Welded mesh

Welded mesh is considered the strongest and most durable, which is due to the peculiarities of its production. This is why it is commonly used. for fencing sports grounds and tennis courts... It is also used for fencing industrial and construction sites and private territory.

If the netting-netting is sold in rolls, then the welded netting is often in cards, which, again, is dictated by its properties and production peculiarities. Such a mesh is based on a strong steel wire with a diameter of 3 to 5 mm. Usually , the cell size is 100 * 150mm, and the card size is 2 * 2.5m. All the rods that make up the mesh are welded to each other at their intersections, which is what gave the mesh its name. Thanks to this feature, welded mesh fences are strong, reliable and durable. Moreover, each mesh fragment is additionally supplied with stiffeners: they are responsible for the preservation of the original shape of the mesh map and the fence from it.

Features of the technology of production of welded mesh

Mesh can be made in two ways:

• before the welding process, the wire is galvanized, but the protective coating is partially erased at the weld points. This means that in the future, it is in these places that a corrosion process can develop;
• welding, and only then galvanizing... This is a more perfect mesh production process, which deprives it of its weak points and makes it as stable as possible in front of all the influences of the external environment.

By the way, it should be noted that some manufacturers additionally cover the welded mesh with 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 a lot of 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 to freely penetrate into the fenced area through the fence. In addition, such a grid can be used to fence off areas with any relief, 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 lightweight and transmits sunlight. The only drawback is the higher price compared to the netting.

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 bent slightly to form a wavy profile, and then the wire is intertwined 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 may vary from 2 to 7 mm, but for fencing summer cottages and sports areas, a mesh with a wire thickness of no more than 3 mm is suitable. Cell size can vary from 1 * 1 cm to 10 * 10 cm depending on the area of ​​application of the mesh. For fencing, it is better to purchase a mesh with a maximum mesh size.

Lightweight metal mesh

This mesh looks light even in appearance, so it is used. for temporary fencing of sites just for the sake of marking the boundaries of the territory. Great for fencing such as construction sites.

Outwardly, such a mesh may even resemble threads, it is so thin and light. In this case, transverse and longitudinal wires are connected by a hinge assembly, 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 required strength is achieved with the lightness of the mesh. This option is considered the cheapest, but it does not differ in great durability: temporary construction works will survive, but no more.

Plastic mesh

Plastic mesh 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 woven fibers are made.

The main advantages of plastic nets are:

• simple process of transportation and installation since the material is very light, and you can create a fence even without additional connecting elements;
• huge selection grids that differ in color, size and shape of the 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 do not corrode, so it will not be necessary to cover them regularly protective layer paint or any other means;
• plastic mesh withstands wide temperature differences without changing their properties;
• durability, which is measured in tens of years. So, the mesh can last about 40 years;
• security and non-toxicity of the material;
• under the influence of direct sunlight mesh will not change either its color or its shape;
• ease of care, because any dirt can be washed off with plain water.

But there is also one significant drawback. - the strength of the plastic mesh is low, therefore, it cannot become a full-fledged protection against intruders. That is why it is often used for fencing individual areas inside a garden, summer cottage or construction site.

Varieties of plastic fencing nets

Today there are several types of plastic nets that differ in purpose:

• garden trellis- the most versatile type of plastic mesh. It is used to fence all kinds of garden structures, different beds, aviaries and corrals. Moreover, it is often used as a base for climbing plants;
• plastic mesh-netting in structure it resembles a metal analogue. It is based on high-strength polyethylene, thanks to which such nets are considered the most durable of all plastic;
• emergency net often used on construction sites to mark places with increased danger, as well as during sports and cultural events. To highlight the fenced area, the mesh is painted with luminescent paint.

IN CONCLUSION

Of all those present at construction market types of nets, you can easily choose the one that will best fit your specific wishes. You always need to take into account the requirements that are put forward for the fence, and compare them with performance characteristics different grids.

A fence is not only a structure 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 suits your needs is sometimes challenging. If you want your summer cottage to look modern, without spending much effort on the arrangement of the territory, and at the same time have a small amount of money, then the garden net 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.

Garden plastic mesh has a number of advantages. Here is some of them:

1. Light weight, which greatly facilitates the transportation process. So, on average, a roll (coil) weighs 6–8 kg and has a length of 20–100 m (for comparison: a steel analogue of the net weighs more than 23 kg).
2. The installation process is quite simple, which is why you can use this fence both permanent and temporary - portable.
3. Wide range of garden mesh. Manufacturers produce mesh in different colors with different mesh sizes, widths and heights, which allows you to adapt the structures to any need.
4. Does not corrode and rot. The polymer mesh does not need to be coated with antiseptic protective agents.
5. Long lasting. Plastic garden mesh will last at least 50 years.
6. Able to withstand heavy loads and not lose properties at temperatures from -60 ° C to + 80 ° C.
7. 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 coefficient of thermal conductivity.
8. They are made from environmentally friendly and safe raw materials.
9. Ease of maintenance. There is no need to paint and process with all kinds of means, and any dirt can be removed with plain warm water from a hose.
10. 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 broadcasts is possible.
11. Low cost, which makes it affordable for families with different income levels. As a rule, the price of a polymeric garden netting is at least 5 times lower than the price of its metal counterpart.

Of course, a plastic garden fence mesh has its drawbacks, which are explained by the peculiarities of its design. It:

• Relative strength. A fence made of a polymer mesh cannot protect against intruders, since the threads of a polymer mesh are easily cut.
• The transparency of the fence. Such a fence will not save the yard from prying eyes, strong gusty winds and dust.

You don't need any special equipment to install a plastic mesh fence. 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 of the required size with ordinary garden shears (pruning shears). In order to strengthen the structure, it is advisable to run the wire along the upper and lower edges of the trimmed canvas of the garden mesh.

Due to the low weight of the polymer mesh, one person can both mount and dismantle. Polymer netting is fairly easy to roll up and store until needed again.

In order not to miss anything when choosing a garden mesh, pay attention to the following points:

• First of all, you need to decide what type of fence you need: it will be a fence for enclosing the entire personal plot or a fence dividing 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 highlight the vegetable 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, since 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 territory of the proposed fence, then at this stage you must decide whether the fence will be a boring structure or it will be braided by climbing plants, creating shade and giving the site a beautiful finished look. And also here you 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 in the color of a metal - a silver shade, or you can stop at orange, black, white or red).

The cost of plastic nets is influenced not only by the weight and cost of raw materials from polymers, but also by the cost of copolymers and dyes.

Since resin garden nets are used for different types of fencing, there is a bit of trickery when it comes to choosing mesh sizes. Coarse mesh is the ideal solution for a fence that encloses an entire garden plot. In addition, it is used for fencing shrubs, areas for games, tennis courts, swimming pools, as well as for separating garden paths, arranging flower beds and beds.

With the help of the large mesh mesh, 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.

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 Millennium gray mesh (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 molecular orientation process polymer fibers along two axes. This grid is used both for zoning a personal plot and for the construction of aviaries or corrals for animals and birds.

For fencing the territory of the personal plot, as well as for the construction of a fence for livestock and fencing from sand and snow deposits, the laminated mesh "Griffin" Tenax (mesh size 60 × 45 mm), which is distinguished by its flexibility and strength, can be optimally used.

Fence nets produced by domestic manufacturers, such as Strain, Lepse, Project (Slavros), are in no way inferior in quality and range to their imported counterparts, gaining more and more popularity in the market.

Who or what to give preference to - everyone decides individually, based on their desires and capabilities. If you have some experience in this matter and would like to supplement the article with your advice on how to choose a garden mesh, please post comments.

Hello dear friends! Today we will consider a very important component of facade decoration - this is a grid for wall plastering. When insulating a house thermal insulation material with subsequent plastering, you cannot do without the reinforcement process.

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 will tell you below.

Properties:

• moisture resistance, resistance to temperature changes;
• low tensile and deformation rates;
• high tensile strength;
• short specific gravity, does not make the structure heavier;
• resistance to aggressive environments.

All these properties help to significantly improve the quality of thermal insulation, as well as significantly extend the life of the 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:

• usual, used for the base layer of plaster;
• reinforced, used for reinforcing special structures, for example, when insulating a foundation, basement floors etc.;
• architectural, used for specific elements of architecture.

Metal mesh for plastering or galvanized mesh - this mesh has a long service life and can be used in the decoration of any facades. For example, metal meshes for plastering can be used when finishing the facade with tiles (it is heavy and requires a powerful reinforcing layer) or the basement, when finishing with stone.

And also when choosing a facade mesh for plaster, its density must be taken into account. Since strength and other important physical characteristics- depend on its density:

• up to 90g / m2 - for interior decoration and painting works;

• from 90 to 220 g / m2 - to strengthen the plaster of facades, it is this mesh that we recommend to use in thermal insulation works;

• more than 220g / m2 - to strengthen the elements of buildings exposed to maximum stress or located in the ground.

What does the color say?

Today in hardware stores you can find fiberglass mesh for reinforcement of different colors. There are five basic colors: white, blue, green, orange, yellow.

Why are they available in different colors? This is done by manufacturers so that visually meshes of different densities and with different mesh sizes differ among themselves, and the buyer can easily determine which mesh for plaster he needs and which mesh to choose.

For example, one renowned 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, I would not be guided only by color when choosing of this product... Below we will describe the stages of selection, after reading this you will be more prepared and easily cope with the task of selection.

Choosing a facade mesh

When choosing a material for reinforcement when installing thermal insulation, you should pay attention to the following indicators:

1. Density, it should be from 145 to 160 g / m2, optimal size 5x5 mm.
2. Weave quality and strength. To do this, just take a small piece and crumple it up. A good mesh should not tear, deform and quickly return to its original shape.
3. Resistance to aggressive environments. The material must be treated with special alkali-resistant compounds.
4. Price. The cost of reinforcing material by general rule should not exceed more than 5% of the total cost of insulation.
5. Security. Do not hesitate to ask the seller for a hygiene certificate.

The fiberglass mesh for the facade is produced in rolls of various meters (usually 20 meters or 50 meters). The roll must be even and dense, it must necessarily have a label indicating the manufacturer and the characteristics of the material.

How to choose the right mesh?

Have experienced builders there are rules for choosing a net, and we will tell you about them. It is imperative to check it for tensile strength. Take a piece of the mesh in your hand and squeeze it, if it is of high quality, then it should return to its original shape - it should straighten.

First, you need to decide what you need it for, what you will do: plaster, lay the tiles, what is the thickness of the planned plaster, etc. Let's consider the choice with an example:

1. 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 that the reinforced plaster mesh evens out the wall we are working on a little more. It is clear that it cannot even out large drops, but it smooths out very well.
2. Now let's 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 finishing, as it oxidizes (rusts) and can ruin everything for you.
3. If you are already finishing the finish and you have a final, thin layer, then you can use a canvas with very small cells.
4. If work is underway on a plasterboard surface, then a plastic grill will do.

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 option for the external decoration of the facade of the building, it must be taken seriously.

Imagine what would happen if you save on it and as a result everything is cracked decorative plaster, which is much more expensive than even the most expensive facade mesh. Or, will start to fall off decorative tiles which is also not cheap. There is only one conclusion - on facade mesh you do not need to save in any way.
