Steel mesh barriers are a simple, all-in-one alternative to traditional scaffold tube edge protection. Instead of building a barrier from separate poles and netting, a mesh barrier combines the guardrails, toeboard, and a fine steel mesh into a single panel.
We offer the industry-standard CombiSafe Steel Mesh Barrier system for hire and sale. By using a solid mesh instead of open tubes, the barriers not only stop people falling, but also prevent loose gravel and dropped tools from striking anyone working in the trench or pour below. They are fully compliant with the EN 13374 edge protection standard.
Key Features
Quick to install Each panel hooks onto its posts in one lift. This means a long run of edge protection goes up rapidly and comes down just as fast.
Integrated with temporary works Steel mesh barriers form a crucial part of safe edge protection and access on site. When supplying shoring or formwork, our in-house engineering team can design a scheme complete with all necessary safety features to secure the excavation or pour.
Adapts to corners and gaps Trenches and slabs rarely match exact panel lengths. Our adjustable overlap system lets two panels slide past each other to close odd gaps safely. We also supply make-up panels to keep tight corners fully secure.
Built for heavy site use Made from high-yield steel with reinforced, rounded edges, the panels have no sharp corners to handle. They are built to take heavy knocks on busy civil engineering sites without bending out of shape.
