Nexus Mesh Panel – 2.15m Total Height – White Steel

Frequently Asked Questions

Which barriers does the Nexus mesh panel fit?

The panel is made for the Nexus water filled barrier and bolts to its panel attachment inserts. We have not confirmed it for any other barrier. For Evo barriers use the mini mesh panel for Evo barriers, and for the RB22 use the mesh for the RB22 barrier.

What do I need to order with the Nexus mesh panel?

You need a Nexus barrier for each panel, filled with ballast, plus an SMLC coupler to join each panel to the next. Add B1 buttress flags where panels meet at a fork or buttress. Each panel position uses 4 x M12 x25 screws and washers, and our team can confirm what is packed with the panel before you order.

Do I fit the panel before or after filling the barrier?

Fill the barrier first. Fit panels only after ballast is added, starting at a corner or open end of the run. Fix each panel with the M12 screws using an 8mm Allen key, then tighten the SMLC coupler with a 21mm spanner. To drain, remove the panels first, and do not move a barrier that still holds ballast. Use two competent people on a flat, level surface.

What is the difference between the mesh panel and the hoarding panel?

Both are the same size (L1949 x H1345mm), use the same fixings and take the barrier to 2.15m. The mesh panel is open and weighs 13.5kg. The Nexus hoarding panel is solid and weighs 20kg. Calculated wind figures are lower with hoarding than with mesh, so ask our team for the figures for your layout. Choose mesh for an open panel and hoarding where you need a solid screen.

How many mesh panels do I need?

Order one panel for each barrier that will carry one. Each panel sits on a single Nexus barrier, and the 1949mm panel fits within the barrier’s 2000mm working length. A run of ten barriers with panels on every barrier needs ten panels.

How tall is a Nexus barrier with a mesh panel?

2145mm (2.15m) overall. The panel adds 1345mm to the 800mm barrier base.

Does the mesh panel suit exposed or windy sites?

Wind loading depends on the layout, the panel type and how exposed the site is. Buttressed Nexus layouts allow higher wind loads than a single straight run, and the panel is strengthened for use on buttressed runs. Ask our team for the calculations that apply to your project before specifying.

Can I get a quote for project quantities of barriers and panels?

Yes. We can support project quantities and mixed product orders, including barriers, panels, couplers and buttress flags. Call us on 0330 056 4420 or email sales@securasite.co.uk with your layout and we can confirm quantities and delivery planning.
