Frost protection fleece
The Mesh4 frost protection fleece can be used to protect your crops from frost, wind, hail, birds and insects. It will also diffuse strong sunlight, reduce transpiration and is permeable to air and water.
Mole net
Our mole net effectively protects your lawn from moles and small rodents which can dig holes in the ground. The mesh is light, but heavy-duty like a metal net. However, unlike the latter, it resists chemicals and weather elements. The net goes through a stretching process where it’s pulled in both directions during production, which provides the mesh with exceptional tensile strength so it can withstand intense stresses.
Windbreak
We provide the best windbreak fence, whether you’re looking for heavy duty windbreak netting, garden windbreak mesh or agricultural windbreak netting, we have the perfect products for you.
Our 1m windbreak is designed to reduce windspeed without creating turbulence, and provides cost effective protection where no natural shelter exists.
Our high strength windbreak is ideal for particularly exposed areas, in addition to closer post spacing. It has been designed with high tensile strength properties to withstand any stronger winds.

]]>Government guidance around social distancing presents key challenges for schools, particularly regarding drop-off and pickup. An influx of vehicles and people means a certain level of meandering and organised chaos.
Temporary car parks for improved social distancing
A number of schools have contacted us recently to enquire about our ground reinforcement products, which enable temporary carparks to be created. This way you can really utilise the space at your school without damaging the grass (not only is this unsightly and sure to upset the neighbours, it is also unsafe, in terms of slips and trips).
Temporary pedestrian walkways help to create more space
Temporary walkways help to again protect the grass but additionally control the flow of people and drive them down a certain route, ensuring there isn’t a flood of people approaching the school from all different angles (which is impossible to manage).
This is in line with our temporary carpark solutions mean that you can do a lot more to help your school comply with social distancing measures. If you’re back open and experiencing a certain level of concern or chaos, please don’t hesitate to contact us now.

]]>The post Ground reinforcement for schools appeared first on Mesh4.
]]>Mesh4’s main ground protection products suitable for schools are TR-Flex turf reinforcement mesh and GP-Flex grass protection mesh.
TR-Flex
The TR-Flex ground reinforcement is a lightweight and flexible mesh that can be used for many grass-based applications:
- Occasional vehicle access
- Lawn reinforcement
- Prevents animals digging up lawn areas
- Slope stabilisation
- Support for rubber matting
This type of reinforcement is perfect for pathways in a school which may cut across grass. The mesh allows the ground to stay stable and not rot/erode away with the amount of people walking over it, whilst still allowing the grass to grow.
GP-Flex
GP Flex is a ground/grass protection mesh, which provides grass matting protection for areas such as:
- Carparks
- Grass accessed roads
- Wheelchair access routes
- Temporary emergency vehicle access routes
- Protection for garden paths such as nature reserves in schools
- Overflow grass parking
This type of reinforcement is best for school carparks. This will stop the ground form rotting/eroding beneath the surface. This mesh also allows extra grip, for example if the school needed to make a temporary carpark on the school field for school events. If the ground was wet, the mesh would allow for extra grip and will not ruin the grass.
Both types of mesh reinforcement use a series of fixing pins to hold them in place.
Conclusion
The TR-Flex and GP-Flex are both suited perfectly for schools whether it is protecting a grass path or used for an overflow carpark. Also, both reinforcements can be used either permanently or temporarily depending on the school’s needs.

Uses for protective sleeves vary. Some use the extruded mesh sleeving to protect glass bottles; it can be used to protect car parts, particularly exhausts for some of the more expensive models.
Whatever it is used for, our protective sleeving offers a practical, effective and reasonably-priced barrier to external damage during manufacture, transit and storage.
Our extruded mesh sleeving is flexible enough to mould around irregularly-shaped items, in order to prevent any knocks causing unwelcome damage such as scratches and, unlike alternative options, protective sleeving can be reused.
Contact rubbing during transit is a real problem and so we would highly recommend you enquire about our protective sleeving today.

Simply remove that clutter! Everyone has old clutter and mess in their gardens, from a cracked plant pot and rusty old tools, to kids’ toys. Make a decision to remove anything damaged and anything which has been unused within the past 3-6 months.
Out with old in with the new! Remove any dying, tired old plants. Removing these limp plants will reinvent your garden instantly. You can then buy some new healthy plants and flowers to replace them – you will wonder why you didn’t do it sooner!
Add some decorative items to your garden which could include ornaments, planters and flower pots. There’s an array of these to choose from; all different shapes, sizes and colours; there will be one to suit your personality! You could also add some natural screening or artificial hedging, both provide a quick and easy way of hiding unsightly objects and transforming any existing fence systems. Always thought about disguising those ugly wheelie bins? You can with our natural wheelie bin screen, available in 3 different sizes and hinged for easy access. Or why not add some pretty fairy lights to different areas of your garden or the patio area? The ideas are endless!
Prevent unsightly muddy areas due to foot traffic with our grass protection mesh and plastic pavers, these products act as a barrier providing the grass roots with protection, helping the grass become stronger and healthier. You’ll be well on your way to the green luscious grass you have always wanted and those muddy areas will soon be long gone!
No garden is beautiful when covered in mole hills! Order yourself some mole net, this net provides a barrier between the surface of the grass and the underground and stops the moles from digging up and what’s better, it won’t harm any animals. Please note the area will need to be prepped first.

]]>The post 4 ways to prepare for Spring appeared first on Mesh4.
]]>
- Have a Spring clean! – Gardens can be neglected throughout Autumn and Winter so they will need a good tidy up. Firstly, prune any hedges, bushes and trees; trimming back and cutting any dead growth. Secondly, remove any leaves, dead and unhealthy plants and other debris such as the hedge/tree clippings from flower beds and borders. Give the lawns a good mow – trimming that grass down will completely transform the garden!
- Dig out those weeds and dead plants – Give compacted soil a good turn and mix using a garden trowel or fork to prepare for planting new plants and flowers. Dig out any weeds; make sure you get those roots! And either burn them or put them in the garden waste bin. To prevent weeds in the future you can use our weed control fabric or ground cover. If you plan on using a fabric weed suppressant, lay this first before thinking of planting any new plants and flowers.
- Liven up those fences – There are many suitable paints in a variety of colours in your local DIY shops to give your fences a lease of life! Not only do they modernise your garden but adding a lick of paint will protect your fence from the elements. For a more natural appearance, you can use Mesh4’s artificial hedging, they are supplied in rolls so easy to install with ties, wire or metal staples. Simply roll out and fix to the original fence. They don’t require any maintenance and can easily be washed with water. Fancy having plants climbing up your fences? Use our square mesh 50, an ideal support for climbing flowers and an inexpensive alternative to traditional trellises.
- Prepare the patio – Over the Autumn and Winter months dirt and grime can build up on patios and decking. Give it a good clean with a power hose or scrub with a thick bristled brush. Keep your bins in your garden? Disguise them with our wheelie bin screen, an attractive rattan wheelie bin storage screen, easy to install and access with a hinged middle, which will really spruce up your garden!
These 4 steps will completely change the look of your garden to get it Spring ready. Take a browse through our previous blogs for more tips and advice.

]]>The post How to prevent wind damage on your farm or rural property appeared first on Mesh4.
]]>Farmers especially suffer from the negative effects of the wind which can cause severe disruption and losses. Farming is a livelihood; it needs to be successful to gain profit and make a living so farmers need to ensure their crops and livestock are protected.
Crops and plants won’t survive well in poor weather conditions – wind has a huge negative effect on their growth; wind can damage or blow down the strongest tree, so in strong winds seedlings won’t stand a chance and mature crop such as corn will break and flatten. Wind mixed with colder winter temperatures or hot humid summer temperatures dries the crops out, making it difficult for them to replace the water they lose, which will result in them dying. Plants and crops are more susceptible to disease when damaged, so this damage needs to be prevented.
Farm animals also suffer from negative effects of the wind. All animals have a thermo neutral zone; a temperature that is considered the best for animal performance and health. The lower mark of this zone is referred to as the lower critical temperature and livestock experience cold stress below this. The wind produces wind chill and if not protected from this the animals will soon move to the lower critical temperature. This in turn increases energy requirements which will use fat stores, causing weight loss and increasing feed costs. It can also cause hypothermia which can be deadly, causing profit loss through death and health expenses.
In cases where there are no natural windbreaks, artificial wind barriers can be created and Mesh4 have products which are suitable to prevent wind damage on your farm:
Shade and Shelter Net
Ideal for smaller, more sheltered areas and poly tunnels, our shade and shelter nets are manufactured from HDPE. This shelter net has reinforced edges with eyelets and is UV stabilised. These cost-effective nets are permeable to light, air and water but provide shelter from winds. Aesthetically pleasing colour and material which will blend in perfectly with natural surroundings.
Windbreaks
There are three choices of windbreaks, they are all UV stabilised and have reinforced edges but have varying weights and tensile strength. The strongest one; our ‘super strength’ windbreak has a tensile strength of 30 KN/m making it one of the strongest on the market. This wind barrier provides suitable protection from gale force winds and exposed windy areas. It also makes a brilliant windbreak to put around animal housing for a side air vent solution, it is used regularly for this application and has proved very effective. Livestock need to be protected from the wind but they also need some sort of ventilation to prevent moisture build up and disease and these windbreaks are ideal.
