Coronavirus (COVID-19) Information
At the moment, we are processing and dispatching orders however delivery days may be possible due to the Coronavirus situation. Having anticipated short supplies of goods at the beginning of the year, we have filled our warehouse with stock. Whilst a certain product may be out of stock on our website, we will have an alternative option available which will be in stock – please feel free to ask our live chat agents for alternatives if you cannot find a suitable product for your application.
We may find that over the next few days or weeks that the speed of service we take pride in providing may be delayed slightly, either due to the requirement for staff members to self-isolate, or due to the pressures on the courier networks. Should this issue arise, we will do our very best to keep you fully informed, and rest assured that we will do everything possible to dispatch and deliver your order. If we could ask that you bear with us that would be very much appreciated, especially in the case of potential delivery issues. Some delivery delays may be unavoidable, as all UK courier networks are at full capacity due to unprecedented levels of deliveries, combined with a potential shortage of drivers due to self-isolation requirements.

Details
Our HDPE plastic insect mesh is UV protected, and offers a cost effective protection against flies and other insects. The 120cm wide rolls are perfect for producing insect screens, or for covering larger areas such as roofs. Given that the mesh is flexible, it may need the support of a frame to add rigidity.
The black colour helps the mesh to blend in with the background. Therefore, this product is an excellent option for discreet insect protection.
Specification
- Black plastic (HDPE) insect mesh
- Aperture (hole size) 2 mm x 2 mm

- Roll Heights: The heights of the rolls are manufactured to metric measurements (centimeters). We have rounded down the imperial height conversions for simplicity. The accurate imperial height is as follows: 47.24 inch (120cm).

What is the type of plastic is used in the fly mesh? Is it polyethylene, terephthalate, or Polypropylene Thanks.
Thank you for the enquiry.
The black plastic insect mesh is made from High-density polyethylene (HDPE).
Hi, I am looking for a mesh that I could use as an insect screen for an Awning, it would be fitted into the inside of the Plastic opening windows and I am not sure whether the plastic flyscreen or the fibreglass mesh would suit best.
Thank you for the enquiry.
Assuming that you would be looking to roll the insect mesh away when you pack up the awning, then the fiberglass insect mesh may be more suitable. It is very flexible (almost cloth-like), but it is a strong material.
Hi- I would like some mesh to put round the cowl on my chimney, to stop bees going in, and maybe to keep mosquitoes from breeding in water tanks. The woven ali looks possible, but how is it with heat from a woodburner and letting the smoke out? Should I get a 2mm or 2.5 mm mesh for the chimney?
Thank you for the enquiry.
If it is just bees that you wish to keep out, we would normally recommend our woven stainless steel 8 Mesh as this is typically used for beekeeping. This product has an open area of 60% i.e. it will allow 60% of the airflow through – you may need to check that this is sufficient to allow the smoke to escape from your chimney. The advantage of this material is that it is a lot more rigid than insect mesh, due to the 0.71mm thick wire. The 8 Mesh is sold by the linear metre.
If you are also looking to keep out other insects, such as mosquitoes, then the stainless steel insect mesh would be a better choice than the woven aluminium. Stainless steel is typically used for chimney liners where a woodburner has been installed, so there shouldn’t be an issue with the heat.
can the mesh be easily wound around a 30mm (approx.)pole above a window, and unreeled when required to be used as a fly screen?
Thank you for the enquiry. Our black plastic insect mesh is very flexible and can easily be rolled up and rolled by down again.
Hi,
How do I attach the mesh to my PVC window frame?
Thank you for your enquiry.
As we are only merchants, unfortunately we don’t have any experience with fitting. However, the best option may be to frame the insect mesh, and then attach the frame to the window or screw the frame into the wall around the PVC window frame.
Is it possible to have a small sample of this item? Do you think a mouse can bite through it? I will be using it where both mosquitoes and mice are pests!! thanks
Thank you for your enquiry.
A mouse would be able to chew through black plastic fly screen.
The best product to use for both mice and mosquitoes would be the heavy duty stainless steel fly screen.
If you would like a sample please send me your full address.
