Chip proofing your ifor

[roseyweb]

I've got a ifor williams tipper with the mesh sides.

 

I want to chip proof it but weighing up options

I could get some ally sheet cut but would be expensive

I know someone who had put another line of mesh for hauling g30 chip but I assume blowing chip in would just blow dust all over the shop,

 

Any ideas welcome

 

Thanks

James

Perspex sheets? 4 or 5 mm.

What's wrong with ply?

You can buy a sheet product called Aluminum Composite Panel. Its main trading name is dibond but other makes are available.

 

Its a plastic sheet with a paper thin ally sheet each side. It's feather light, neat and tidy and takes signwriting perfectly.

 

Its light enough and can be cut easily with hand or power tools

Another vote for ply, 12mm I think, undercoated then gloss blacked & zip tied inside the mesh works on our 8x4. It extends a foot above the mesh on 3 sides so greedy board too.

Ply looks a bit bodged

Would it take a battering from Woodchip?

The composite panels are not that cheap but make for a smart looking job. A circular saw with all type blade cuts it cleanly, just be careful of the sharp edges. And so e sign writing or vinyl over it will look great.

Aluminum sheeting and do the job once.

i have ton bags cut and placed tied up against mesh sides just make sure there lower than the mesh easy to put up easy to take off......... cost........... nothing... to replace....................nothing

your mesh is pretty strong but i suppose it's up to you but i have had no issue
