Mesh panel LOW
Panels 1.1–1.2 m high — where full height is unnecessary, for instance during road works.
Given the wide range of production options, the technical data quoted is indicative.
The LOW mesh panel stands 1.1-1.2 m rather than the standard two metres, and suits work where the fence has to separate rather than screen.
The panel measures 3500 × 1100-1200 mm and weighs between 7 and 12 kg depending on wire gauge. The frame uses the same profiles as the full-height variants: 38 mm vertical and 25 mm horizontal, with 2.2-3.2 mm wire infill. Dropping almost a metre in height changes how the fence behaves in wind and how it is transported.
Where low height is an advantage
On the road and in town, a full-height fence causes problems of its own: it blocks drivers' sight lines, takes light from shopfronts and turns a footway into a tunnel. A low panel marks the limit of the works without taking anyone's view. The driver sees the excavation, the pedestrian sees where the diversion leads, and the plant operator sees what is happening beyond the fence.
- road works and linear excavations
- enclosures on the footway and in front of shops
- marshalling zones on car parks and yards
- short-term protection put up and taken down within a day
Lighter transport, faster repositioning
At seven kilograms one person carries a panel, and more fit on a trailer than two-metre panels. On linear works, where the fence follows the working front daily, that difference shows up in how the gang is organised, not just in logistics.
What a low panel will not do
A height of 1.1-1.2 m is no barrier to entry — anyone steps over it without effort. This is a marshalling and warning solution. Where property has to be protected or access cut off, go back to two-metre panels, and to the ANTICLIMB variant where requirements are higher.
