Specify the flat mesh and the folds separately
Custom folded mesh needs its form and its attachment defined together. A bend in the wrong position can prevent an otherwise similar panel from fitting the existing posts. The rectangular pattern in the flat area does not necessarily continue unchanged through a bend. A useful drawing shows both areas and identifies wire diameter, mesh spacing, bend depth and the number of folds.
Measure the completed panel rather than assuming a flat blank gives the same finished height. Identify upper and lower edges, including any projecting wires, so the panel is supplied and installed in the intended orientation.
Check the post face before choosing a clip
A post may accept a clip on its front face, a channel connection or another proprietary arrangement. The panel must seat in that connection without forcing a fold against the post or leaving the clip unsupported.
If posts are already installed, record their centres and fixing levels. Those dimensions determine whether a replacement panel will fit. Cutting a wider panel on site can also change the end-wire detail and leave areas needing appropriate coating repair.
| Existing feature | Measurement to retain |
|---|---|
| Panel outline | Finished width and height |
| Horizontal folds | Distance from the bottom edge to each bend |
| Mesh intersections | Wire diameters and spacing in both directions |
| Post connection | Post face, fixing centres and clip contact shape |
Include stepped and special-width bays in the custom order
Stepping rigid panels produces a different lower edge from a continuous sloping fence. Show the ground line with the fence elevation so the resulting gaps can be assessed, especially beside paths and gates.
Do not assume that a formed welded panel can be raked to any gradient. Where the terrain changes sharply, the panel lengths, step heights and post arrangement need to be resolved together.
Keep open mesh and screened mesh as separate proposals
An open mesh panel and the same panel fitted with privacy strips present different areas to the wind. If screening is part of the project, include it in the design brief before selecting posts and foundations. An open-mesh quotation does not establish suitability for a screened fence.
For a boundary requiring closer-spaced mesh, compare the construction with 358 profiled panels. Both have bends, but the mesh patterns and connection details are different.
Custom order specification: 3d welded mesh fence panels
| Order detail | What to define with our team |
|---|---|
| Wire grid | Specify wire dimensions and the mesh pattern in flat and formed areas. |
| Finished profile | Provide panel height, width, bend locations, depth and edge orientation. |
| Post fit | Identify post centres, fixing levels, clip contact shape and the agreed finish. |
Approve the finished panel elevation and bend section before batch release. Where matching installed posts, check the actual clip and panel interfaces. Include privacy strips in the project design brief before treating a screened panel as the same assembly.
Can a custom 3D panel be made for existing posts?
We need the measured post centres, fixing positions, clip geometry and panel section. Feasibility is reviewed from those dimensions; nominal width and height alone cannot confirm compatibility.
