Lining mesh sides

[woody paul]

Here's how I fixed it

That's neat.  My trailer's a Brian James and the pattern isn't mesh, more square holes with flat bars of metal between.

We used di bond (? Spelling)  sign board on a old truck, full pannel on out side of mesh and squares on inside coach bolted together, lasted well and can be sign written.

I’ve got plywood bolted on

I use a trampoline net for last 3 years. £15 and no weight, but is a bit of a faff so keep thinking of buying some sort of board. Haven't got round to it though, too busy doing trees.

Debris netting is what I have on my tipper (like you see on the sides of scaffolds to stop stuff falling out onto pavements) - just held on with zip ties.  With a bit of care it can be made to look well-fitted but it needs to be pulled tight.  Seems to last a year or so and is cheap enough.  Strong enough to handle chip being blown in and stops it coming out.  Plus you can see through it which gives a bit more perspective when reversing in and out of places.

 

Granted it won't look as tidy as a proper arb body but it's cheap and effective.

 

A had to buy a roll which I think might have cost be about 30 quid a few years ago.

Di bond sheet, from Amari plastics, check out their web site.   Aluminium / plastic sandwich sheet.   Lots of colour , size and thickness options.  Rivet or bolt it to frame or mesh using large washers if you need to. It makes strong, light weight panels, which look professional and it's relatively cheap !

I've used it on several trucks and trailers and used other products from Amari for various projects too.

Ditto.   I've put small clips on the elastic loops so can clip to the mesh from outside.

 

But mine was a freebie from @se7enthdevil !   Cheers Steve!

Looks like you've got a topper there for cutting the aluminium? Brave.
