1. How does the 50% shading factor benefit a building site?
The 50% shading factor provides a good level of visual privacy, obscuring the site from public view to deter theft and enhance security. Crucially, this percentage ensures the screen is not completely solid, allowing adequate wind to pass through. This reduces the sail effect, decreasing the stress placed on the temporary fence posts and structures.
2. What is the standard fence size these screens fit onto?
These screens are designed with dimensions of 1.8m x 3.45m, which perfectly corresponds to the height and panel width of standard temporary building site fence panels (often referred to as 'Heras' type fencing), ensuring a neat and secure fit.
3. How do I attach the screen to the fence?
The screen features reinforced aluminium eyelets in the four corners. The simplest method of attachment is using standard cable ties (zip ties) or bungee cords. Loop the tie through the eyelet and around the fence frame to secure the screen firmly.
4. Can this screen be used to prevent small debris from leaving the site?
Yes, the fine knitted mesh (approx. 1mm x 3mm) provides effective containment for light debris, dust, and general rubbish, helping to maintain a cleaner working area and preventing material from blowing into public spaces. For heavy debris control, a separate high-density debris netting is typically recommended.
5. Is the fence screen weatherproof and reusable?
Yes. It is manufactured from UV-resistant Polyethylene (PE) fabric, which is highly resistant to sun damage and moisture. With reinforced edges and durable eyelets, the screen is built to withstand repeated use across multiple projects, offering a long service life.
