UV Printed PVC Double Coated Polyester Mesh Rolls

Wind loading is a consideration when installing banners on fences, hoardings, and exposed structures. Outdoor signage behaves like a sail, and unmanaged wind pressure can place significant stress on materials, fixings, and support frames.

SBO's Mesh Products are designed to reduce this risk by allowing air to pass through the printed surface while retaining strength and visibility.

Wind Loading Explained

Wind forces increase with banner size, height, and site exposure. Open locations, corners, and elevated installs experience higher loads than sheltered areas. Correct eyelet fitting, reinforced edges, and even tensioning help distribute stress and prevent tearing or premature wear. Installers should assess local wind conditions, surrounding terrain, and fixing points before installation. Choosing the correct mesh material and installing it properly ensures signage remains secure, readable, and reliable throughout its working life.

Mesh Roll Fitting Options offered by SBO are eyelet spacing every 1000mm apart or every 500mm apart. Two materials are used, medium weave which is our Standard Mesh, and tight weave which is our Maxi Mesh.
