DT Mesh Rockfall Protection Netting | Double Twisted Hexagonal Wire Netting
The DT Mesh is engineered from our double twisted hexagonal woven steel wire and is used as a drapery system to prevent rocks and debris from falling onto roads and railways.
Due to the characteristics of the double twist, the steel wire mesh can withstand the punching force of falling rocks and without unraveling in the event of wire breakage.
Hexagonal woven mesh is supplied as rolls (both width and length selected by customer) for ease and economy of use.
Unlike single twist chain link mesh or tecco mesh the construction of DT mesh inhibits the propagation of tears making it an extremely durable and easy to use product. DT mesh is most commonly used in the form of a protective curtain/drapery. The mesh is suspended from and restrained by steel wire ropes and anchors, with adjacent rolls connected into a continuous curtain using high strength C-rings applied by mechanical or pneumatic tools.
DT Mesh is made from high quality steel wire, which is heavily galvanised to provide long term corrosion protection. An additional protective polymeric coating is also applied for meshes that are to be used in more aggressive environments, or where a longer design life is required.
Advantage of Double Twisted Hexagonal Wire Netting
- Does not unravel if wire breakage occurs making it cost effective with low maintenance requirements
- Flexible and versatile to match existing slope and rock profiles
- Different levels of coating protection for durability in a wide range of environments
- Does not inhibit regrowth of vegetation
- No overlapping mesh on lateral connections means fast installation and minimal material wastage
