5. Fit the Steel Mesh Barrier on the Steel Mesh
Barrier Holder by hooking the mesh in the top hook
on the Steel Mesh Barrier Holder and the middle
horizontal rod on the Steel Mesh Barrier over
the lower hook on the Steel Mesh Barrier Holder.
On Steel Mesh Barrier Stair the handrail is placed
above the upper bracket. The third wire is placed
above the lower bracket. It is not always certain
that the handrail or third wire rests against the
bracket due to the slope of the staircase and the
position of the Safety Posts, but it should always
be behind it. A vertical wire, or a flat steel bar at
the ends of the Steel Mesh Barrier Stair will act
as a stop along the direction of the stairs. It may
be useful to use the Combistrap, 100335, to
minimise the play that can result between the
A ( 10 : 1 )
upper bracket and handrail and between the
STRAP
lower bracket and the third wire.
6. Plan the overlap. If one or more of the Steel
Strap 100335
Mesh Barriers will need to be removed, e.g. to
permit delivery of materials, these barriers should
be fitted last with the overlaps on top at both
ends.
7. Join the Steel Mesh Barriers by overlapping
them on the Steel Mesh Barrier Holder. Allow at
least 100 mm overlap on each end of the Steel
Mesh Barriers. The Steel Mesh Barriers can be
overlapped more to give a shorter c/c distance.
It may be useful to use the Combistrap, 100335,
to minimise the play that can result between the
upper hook on the Steel Mesh Barrier Holder and
handrail and between the lower hook on the Steel
Mesh Barrier Holder and the third wire.
