Barrier Mesh Cost Comparison

Jaybro Buyers Guide: Barrier Mesh

Barrier mesh is used on a huge range of civil and construction sites, at infrastructure projects, during road works, for council work and much more.

It’s one of those work site consumables that you’re likely to need on every job, so if you plan ahead you can buy in bulk and save. Buying barrier mesh by the pallet load can work out well over half price!

Which mesh should I choose?

All types of barrier mesh generally perform the same function, however, each one in our range has slight differences.

• Fabric mesh made from woven poly fibres
• Barrier mesh made from extruded plastic
• Specialty mesh for railway and safety applications

TOP TIP: HOW TO INSTALL BARRIER MESH

Ideal for work sites, road work and construction projects, safety mesh is easy to install.

By using cable ties or rope looped through the holes in the mesh, it can easily be fixed to star pickets, fence posts, across openings in fencing and tied.

The heavyweight meshes that are designed for long term use can be taken down at the end of the project, rolled up, and reused on the next job.
