Using Reo Mesh for a Frame to Fabricate A Caravan Stone Guard
Permalink  

Have this ticking away in my head as a cheap way to fabricate the frame to support the shade cloth used to make a caravan stone guard.

If viable I will apply protective coatings to the mesh to inhibit the steel corroding.

Thoughts please.

Reo mesh a little weighty just make up a frame border out of half inch square RHS two uprights from A frame cover with Sarlon Meshing - that'll stop bricks.

But if you really want mesh, there are several galvanised light weight versions, sheep mesh for one

There are a huge variety in the sizes of reo mesh. The finer size would need a frame. Larger size could have some cut out to reduce weight.
