The Solaracks HDG wire-mesh walkway is the mesh-type rooftop walkway — carbon steel stamped and stretched into a diamond mesh, welded into a bended frame and hot-dip galvanized. The open mesh sheds water and debris and gives grip underfoot, while keeping the panel light enough to carry O&M crews across the array.

The mesh is formed by stamping and stretching, then welded and polished — a uniform diamond pattern with high bearing capacity and anti-corrosion performance across a wide range of applications. Colour, length, width and thickness are all customizable, and the standard footing distance is 1000 mm using a short rail in the horizontal direction.

Where else can the expanded mesh be used?

The same stretched mesh suits guardrail infill, stair handrails, plant protection, exterior wall decoration and foot plates - not just rooftop solar access.

How is the wire-mesh walkway manufactured?

Carbon steel is stamped and stretched into a diamond mesh, welded into a bended frame and hot-dip galvanized - a light panel with high bearing capacity and anti-corrosion performance.
