Q: What is Flexi-Mesh?
A: Flexi-Mesh is a high-performance stainless steel cable mesh system designed for architectural and safety applications. It consists of interwoven wire rope cables and ferrules, forming a lightweight yet incredibly strong mesh structure. Flexi-Mesh is exclusive to Arcus Wire Group and is engineered for design flexibility, strength, transparency, and long-term durability. It can be supplied flat, rolled, or pre-shaped and is suitable for new builds or retrofits.

Q: Where is Flexi-Mesh used?
A: Flexi-Mesh is used in a wide range of architectural and infrastructure projects across Australia and New Zealand. Typical applications include:

• Bridge and stair balustrades

• Facades and Green Walls

• Safety barriers and fall protection

• Playgrounds and climbing structures

• Zoo enclosures and aviaries

The mesh provides both functional safety and striking visual design, making it a favourite of architects, engineers, and builders alike.

Q: What material is Flexi-Mesh made from?
A: Flexi-Mesh is manufactured from marine-grade stainless steel — typically Grade 316 or 316L — offering excellent corrosion resistance, even in coastal or high-moisture environments. Every component, including wire rope and ferrules, is tested to meet stringent quality and load standards. The mesh is suitable for outdoor exposure, low-maintenance installations, and high-strength tensioned systems.

Q: Can Flexi-Mesh be used on bridges and facades?
A: Absolutely. Flexi-Mesh is purpose-built for structural and architectural tension applications. It is ideal for bridges and elevated walkways where fall protection is critical, and for building facades where airflow, visibility, and aesthetics are important. It can span long distances between anchor points without sagging, and integrates easily into steel, timber, or concrete structures.

We’ve supplied Flexi-Mesh for everything from pedestrian bridges and heritage buildings to multi-storey apartment facades and transport hubs.

Q: Can Flexi-Mesh be customised?
A: Yes — every panel is made to order. You can customise:

• Cable diameter (typically 1.5mm – 3mm)

• Aperture size (mesh opening dimensions)

• Mesh orientation (diamond or square)

• Panel shape (flat, angled, curved, etc.)

• Edge termination (wire rope border, ferrule, or lashing)

This flexibility ensures Flexi-Mesh meets both aesthetic and engineering requirements for your project.
