Our Printed Shade Cloth rolls have button holes along the edges to allow cable ties to be easily pushed through them.

The difference between the two products lies in the quality of the printing achieved. While it’s quite a significant difference, the upside to the Shade Cloth is that it is very affordable and does the job. It also lets more air through so it creates less wind load on the fencing. Banner Mesh offers a premium looking finish, right through to a full coverage print. The lifespan of the Banner Mesh is greater due to heavyweight construction of the base material, along with the rope edge for added strength when attaching it to the fence.

Shade Cloth, Banner Mesh and Custom Banners are the three options to go for when advertising on a Temporary Fence.

Yes, there is a difference. Shade cloth is a traditional PVC shade cloth with little rigid strength and a looser application, whereas the banner mesh products have significantly more structure and print with significantly more impact. Banner mesh can be re-used; it often works out cheaper because you can apply it to various sites (ensure the initial art is correct for re-use or use smaller panels).

Mesh Direct offer a 2-year warranty on banner mesh products as long as they are used correctly. It is estimated that shade cloth will last approximately 12 months if handled and installed correctly.

Mesh Direct recommend that banner mesh is used on larger sites to maximise the impact the site has on the local area from a selling perspective or for brand building. Additionally, shade cloth can be used to coordinate the site but minimise the impact on budgets. Contact us to consult a sales representative.

Yes, eyelets allow Shade Cloth and banners to be attached to the fence easily with either clips or cable ties. All of Mesh Direct products have some form of eyelet. Our Shade Cloth has built in reinforced buttonhole the eyelets which are simple to use and allow a certain amount of tension to be applied, and our banner mesh products have metal rust-free metal eyelets which allow significant tension to be applied to allow a wrinkle-free smooth finish – ideal where the “look ” is important.
