Insect Mesh – 2mm x 2mm Black HDPE Mesh

Protect buildings, growing areas and outdoor spaces from unwanted insects with our Black Insect Mesh. Manufactured from UV-stabilised HDPE (high-density polyethylene), this strong semi-rigid plastic mesh provides an effective physical barrier against small insects including flies, wasps, mosquitoes and other unwanted pests, while still allowing good airflow and light transmission.

Featuring a fine 2mm x 2mm diamond mesh, this insect screening is particularly useful where protection against smaller insects is required. Unlike flexible insect netting, its semi-rigid construction is designed to retain its shape, making it easier to install across door frames, window frames, soffits, eaves and other fixed structures. It can also be used around greenhouses, growing areas, farm buildings and other enclosed spaces.

The mesh is UV stabilised and rot resistant, making it suitable for indoor and outdoor applications. Supplied in convenient 1.2m wide rolls of 10m or 50m, it offers a versatile solution for both smaller installations and larger projects. Beyond insect screening, it can also be used behind cladding, as garden and fencing screening, and in selected air and water filtration applications.

Applications

Insect Mesh is ideal for:

• Soffits and eaves
• Door frames
• Window frames
• Double-glazed window applications
• Conservatories
• Greenhouses
• Behind cladding
• Farm buildings
• Agricultural buildings
• Insect screening for buildings
• Garden and plant screening
• Fencing screens
• Temporary garden fencing
• Permanent garden fencing
• Air filtration applications
• Water filtration applications

The fine 2mm x 2mm mesh is particularly suitable for installations where protection against smaller insects, such as mosquitoes, is required.

Insect Protection

The fine mesh creates a physical screening barrier designed to help prevent unwanted insects from entering enclosed or protected areas. It can be used around building openings, growing spaces and other locations where insect exclusion is required without completely restricting ventilation.

Suitable for helping screen against:

• Mosquitoes
• Flies
• Wasps
• Other small unwanted insects

Semi-Rigid HDPE Construction

Unlike soft and flexible insect netting, this product is manufactured as a semi-rigid plastic mesh that is designed to retain its shape. This makes it particularly practical for fixed installations where the mesh needs to be positioned over or within a frame.

It can be cut and shaped as required for suitable applications, allowing it to be incorporated into building ventilation openings, greenhouse structures, cladding systems and garden screening projects.

UV Stabilised & Rot Resistant

The HDPE mesh is UV stabilised and rot resistant, making it suitable for outdoor use where it may be exposed to sunlight and changing weather conditions. Its durable plastic construction provides a practical alternative to traditional insect netting for a variety of permanent and temporary screening applications.

Installation Guidance

The mesh can be cut to the required size and secured to a suitable frame, structure or support using appropriate fixings for the application. When installing as insect screening, ensure edges and joins are securely fixed to minimise gaps through which insects could enter.

For building applications such as soffits, eaves and window openings, installation should be carried out using suitable methods appropriate to the structure.
