Session Synopsis<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Developed in Germany in the 1990s, tensile mesh is a metal mesh fabric of stainless-steel cables formed into a filigree net of diamond shaped openings. Noted for its unique capacity to create striking fa\u00e7ade barriers of openness and transparency, the material finds use in a range of applications, including as anti-throw barriers on pedestrian bridges, as greenery trellis structures, and even as zoological enclosures. To get the best out of this versatile material, specifiers need to be aware of several key considerations. They need to understand, for example, that tensile mesh needs to be held in place with a level of pre-tension to ensure it resists deflection; that its form is largely dictated by the boundary structure that accompanies it; and that, when working with tensile mesh, the pathways to compliance vary from project to project.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In this presentation, our speakers discuss these matters and more. Citing real world examples, they outline the key design considerations for those working with tensile mesh.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
