Shading mesh for the fence: a cheap but worthy replacement for polycarbonate
We are all looking for options on how to make it effective, functional and at the same time inexpensive. The issue of saving in the current realities is one of the main ones. Our editors always help their readers and if we find ways to save the budget and do something beautifully and reliably, we share information. Now we offer an option on how to reduce the cost of a fence by replacing cellular polycarbonate with a shading mesh.
Shading mesh: what it is and where it is used
It is a fine, elastic, fine mesh polymer mesh designed, as the name suggests, for shading. Its function is not only to block the sun's rays, but also to protect the vegetable garden and garden from hail. Manufacturers claim that their products will stop this natural phenomenon too.
And it is also successfully used in lightweight enclosing structures: fences; fences of street sites, construction sites, scaffolding, poultry houses and other things. It was the screening function of this mesh that interested us. The fact is that it has a maximum shading level of up to 98%, and, one might say, it is practically opaque.
Replaces polycarbonate in intake sections
Now about the main thing - about fences. We all consider the chain-link fence the most budgetary, but useless from prying eyes - everything is visible through it. This is a little annoying and as an option for screening, planting along the fence of wild grapes is used. But you can close the fence with a shading net - it's beautiful, practical and cheap.
And also absolutely any fence: be it a forged lattice or a welded fence section - they can be easily covered with a shading mesh, replacing expensive polycarbonate. This is done quickly, easily and has many advantages. For example, the netting does not make the structure heavier and neither imparts sailiness to the fence, nor creates unnecessary noise in windy weather. And is it important!
Some will argue that it has a short lifespan. But it should be understood that this is a polymer, and if you take a mesh of proper quality, mount it correctly, then it will serve for a relatively long time. The price plays an important role here, which differs tenfold from the cost of polycarbonate. And believe me, if you do it well, the aesthetics will not matter - the fence will stand out from the mass of slate, wood and metal!
