Welded wire mesh is used for fencing, land boundaries, vegetable gardens and building sites. The galvanised version has a zinc coating that protects the wire from rust, while the plastic-coated version adds a layer that withstands the weather better. To choose, compare the wire diameter, mesh size and roll height listed in the data sheets.

The name ELEZINC refers to galvanising and ELEPLAST to plastic coating, while the number distinguishes the models within the same family. Read the data sheet for the wire diameter and mesh size of each model before ordering, rather than relying on the name alone. If the fence is in an exposed position, check with the seller which coating is most suitable.

The catalogue includes meshes designed for wildlife, such as bird netting, coypu fencing, wild boar fencing, wolf-proof fencing and agro-pastoral fencing. The choice depends on the animal to be kept out, the height of the fence and the type of ground. Install the mesh taut and secure the bottom edge, because many animals dig or squeeze underneath.

A fall-arrest net, or safety net, catches people and materials falling from height during work at height, such as on roofs or floor slabs. It must be installed by trained personnel, with suitable anchorages, and checked before each use. D.Lgs. 81/2008 (Italian Legislative Decree 81/2008 on workplace safety) requires work at height to be protected, and the net is one possible form of collective protective equipment.

Screed mesh is a lightweight mesh laid inside the concrete or base screed to distribute stresses and help limit cracking. It must be laid raised off the base, with overlaps between sheets, before pouring. It is used in residential and industrial building. Ask the person in charge of the works which mesh size is needed for your base.

The TJEP cordless tying tool ties the intersections of reinforcing bars with wire, quickly and without bending each tie by hand. It is for those who build the reinforcement for beams, footings, slabs or walls. Before using it, charge the battery, check the loaded wire and read the manufacturer's instructions. Wear protective gloves and glasses.

The TJEP CP-40A cordless nailer is designed to fix elements to concrete, such as brackets, mesh and profiles. Use nails compatible with the model and with the base material, as stated in the manual. Before firing, check that the surface is solid and that nobody is behind the workpiece. Wear safety glasses and ear protection.

To build a wire mesh fence, first fix the posts, then stretch the mesh and attach it to the posts. L-shaped struts are fixing elements for the mesh and help keep the fence line straight. Choose the height according to the use and check that the posts are firmly set. Working on tensioned mesh requires care, because the mesh can spring back.
