5 Tips to Ensure a Perfect Banner Installation on Temporary Fencing
September 01, 2015 / in Blog / by Mesh Direct / No CommentsYour beautifully printed banner mesh has cost you a bit of money but is now all set to repay you in conveying your message – you just need to install it. Installing banners on fencing is usually a fairly simple task if you know some basic tips and the cornerstone of those tips is tension. A banner that is crooked, sagging or flapping in the breeze can be more damaging than helpful, displaying a lack of care and sloppiness.
Here are some simple tips to ensure you get the best visual result from your next installation:
- Purchase the correct substrate and size for your project. We recommend you always leave some space between the height of the fence and the vertical banner dimension. Our knowledgeable sales consultants will guide you to pick an ideal size and substrate depending on various factors such as wind load, size of fencing, how long you would like to use the banner for etc.
- Plan the installation when you can have someone else to help you and weather conditions are favourable.
- Use the correct installation method. Cable ties should be interlaced through the grommets and fencing.
- The banner should be tightened to the perfect tension ensuring your message displays on a flat canvas
- Maintain your banner by regularly checking the tension and making any adjustments as necessary.

Facts you need to know when choosing the ideal temporary fencing cover
July 01, 2015 / in Blog / by Mesh Direct / No CommentsTemporary fencing provides the ideal blank canvas to promote your business with the use of a printed banner. However, choosing a printed banner material can be baffling for some. Subtle differences between individual banner materials give a measurable variance to the finished printed product, impacting aesthetic appearance and durability.
So, which temporary fencing cover is ideal for your next project?
Here are some quick facts to get you on the right track when choosing a temporary fence fabric.
Shade Cloth
- Only available in 50m rolls 1.8m high
- Perfect for tight budgets
- Used widely for events
- Excellent for long runs
- Very porous, so good for wind-flow but not great for image reproduction
- Comes with inbuilt button eyelets, ensuring an easy install
- Available in partial print (white background) making it cheaper
- Recommended for logos and minimal text
Positives: Low price and lightweight.
Negatives: Single use, needs care to maintain good presentation, can look sloppy if not installed properly, can’t be well tensioned, only available in 50m rolls.

Standard Banner Mesh
