Technical Specifications Heras Fence Covers

Technical Specifications: Heras Fence Covers

Heras fence covers are ideal for promoting your business, displaying branding and advertising events on temporary fencing. Suitable for construction sites, outdoor events, festivals and public spaces, they turn standard Heras fencing into a visible promotional surface.

Choose from breathable Airmesh Polyester, wind-resistant Mesh PVC or solid Indoor PVC, depending on your display environment and requirements. Available sizes, materials and finishing options vary by product. Covers feature hemmed edges and eyelets to help secure them to compatible fencing.

1. Size Guide

What sizes are available for Heras fence covers?

The available sizes depend on the type of fencing you need to cover.

2. Assembly Instructions

How do I install a Heras fence cover?

1. Position the fence: Make sure the Heras fencing is in place and aligned with its supporting posts.

2. Attach the cover: Use the supplied cable ties to secure the cover through its eyelets to the fence.

3. Adjust the tension: Keep the cover straight and taut without overtightening the fixings.

4. Check the installation: Ensure the eyelets are secure and the fence remains stable.

For outdoor installations, consider the wind conditions and follow the fencing manufacturer's safety guidance. Printed covers can increase wind loading on temporary fencing, so ensure the fence and its supports are suitable for the installation environment.

How are Heras fence covers finished?

Heras fence covers feature stitched and hemmed edges with plastic eyelets spaced approximately every 50cm to help with installation. Square or angled corners are available, depending on the selected product. Cable ties are included.

3. Care Instructions

How should I clean my Heras fence cover?

• Remove dirt and debris regularly using a damp cloth.

• Avoid abrasive cleaning materials, bleach and harsh chemicals that could damage the print or material.

• Follow the care guidance for your selected material, as cleaning requirements vary between polyester and PVC.

How should I store my Heras fence cover?

• Ensure the cover is clean and completely dry before storage.

• Store it rolled rather than folded where possible to help minimise creasing.

• Keep it in a cool, dry place away from potential damage.

• Check the eyelets, hems and edges periodically for wear, particularly after outdoor use or adverse weather.

4. Materials Information

What materials are available for Heras fence covers?

Choose from three materials to suit your display environment, desired finish and promotional requirements.

5. Printing Process

How are Heras fence covers printed?

The printing process depends on the selected material:

• Airmesh Polyester: Dye-sublimation printing uses heat to fix vibrant inks into the fabric.

• Mesh PVC and Indoor PVC: Drop-on-demand digital inkjet printing reproduces your artwork on the material.

These processes allow you to create branded designs, promotional messages and custom graphics for your display.

6. Finishing

How are Heras fence covers prepared for installation?

Heras fence covers are finished with stitched and hemmed edges and plastic eyelets approximately every 50cm. Depending on the product selected, you can choose square or angled corners. Cable ties are included to help secure the cover to the fencing.

7. Sustainability

Can Heras fence covers be recycled?

Recycling options depend on the material and the facilities available locally. Check with your local recycling centre to confirm whether it accepts the material used for your cover and whether any special handling is required.

8. Environment and Usage

Can Heras fence covers be used outdoors?

Airmesh Polyester and Mesh PVC are suitable options for outdoor fencing and barrier displays. Mesh PVC allows air to pass through its perforated surface, helping reduce wind resistance. Airmesh Polyester offers a lightweight, breathable fabric option for Heras fencing and crowd barriers.

Indoor PVC is designed primarily for indoor displays and promotional signage.

Always make sure fencing is stable and the cover is secured correctly. Breathable materials can help reduce wind resistance, but they do not eliminate wind loading or remove the need for suitable installation and safety precautions.
