Flat Tension Profile with Clevis
  1. Attach the clevis bolts to the top tension profile, leaving two clevis bolt openings available.
  2. Secure the clevis bolts to the flat tension profile with self-locking nuts.
  3. Place the mesh roll into the cradle and attach the lifting tools to the clevis bolt openings mentioned in step 1.
  4. Use a crane to lift the mesh roll, the mesh roll will unroll within the cradle automatically. Attach a rope on both ends of the bottom and two helpers shall guide the mesh roll to avoid movement when unrolling.
  5. Attach the top clevis bolts to the top substructure profile.
  6. Repeat Step 1, Step 2 and Step 5 to attach the bottom clevis bolts.
  7. Compress the pressure springs in the bottom substructure profile to pre-tension the mesh fabric.
  8. Warp wire connectors around intermediate round bars located behind the mesh fabric and fasten the mesh fabric from the backside.
Woven-In-Bar (WIB) with Eyebolts
  1. Incorporate round bars into the top, bottom and middle part of the metal fabric to replace woven weft wires.
  2. Connect the top round bar with eyebolts and then tension and fix eyebolts to continuous substructure profile with nuts or with fastening brackets.
  3. Warp wire connectors around intermediate round bars located behind the mesh fabric and hold the mesh fabric from the backside.
  4. Insert the bottom round bar with eyebolts into the mesh fabric and connect eyebolts with tension springs. Fasten these springs onto the bottom brackets or a continuous substructure to tension the panels.
Woven-In-Bar with Hooks & Springs
  1. Incorporate round bars into the top, bottom and middle part of the metal fabric to replace woven weft wires.
  2. Insert the top round bar into triangular fastening brackets to hang the mesh fabric.
  3. Integrate intermediate round bars with triangular pivoting brackets into the mesh fabric to stabilize vertical tension and horizontal movements.
  4. Insert the bottom round bar with eye bolts into the mesh fabric and connect eye bolts with tension springs. Fasten these springs onto the bottom brackets to apply pre-tension to the fabric and reduce the tension force on the structure.
Cylindrical Shroud & Brackets
  1. Make the architectural mesh fabric pass through a defined envelope.
  2. Terminate both ends of the metal fabric within the cylindrical shrouds.
  3. Use the bar in the cylinder to permanently secure the mesh fabric.
  4. Tension the mesh fabric mechanically from the top and bottom brackets.

  2. Terminate both ends of the metal fabric within the cylindrical shrouds.
  3. Use the bar in the cylinder to permanently secure the mesh fabric.
  4. Tension the mesh fabric with a hidden spring system at the bottom.
