Rodent or Soffit Mesh for timber cladding.


JamesP

Recommended Posts

Can you advise as I am about to start cladding.

I will have a 50 mm gap at the base of the vertical timber cladding and want to fix mesh to keep out rodents and insects as much as possible.

Two options here but the Soffit mesh is a third of the price of the other. Any other alternatives you have used.

Excellent product and SS staples. Spend some time getting the detail right.

Hi James did you take any pics? I'm possibly  planning to just staple straight at the top edge of batten under eaves to stop anything getting in. My eaves are blanked off as its a SIPS kit.

I  did but God knows I'll need to look through my pictures for them. 

 

I used the cedral mesh at the top. Great stuff.

 

I bought the Robinson stuff, but didn't use much at all. Just used the cedral. 

 

If you're going to buy the Robinson stuff give me a shout as I'll probably get rid of mine (along with lots of other build stuff which I eventually plan on getting rid of. Lol)

Will let you know and maybe pop by for a nosy at the same time. Is it particularly inferior to the Cedral?

Sorry no photos

 

You will have timber strapping on the wall. Prior to install of cladding, basically close the gaps at the bottom with mesh.  So once the cladding is in place there are no gaps.

Is this (see 50 seconds on) the right way to do it? If so, needing 100mm wide roll for a 50mm cavity?

Mesh direct, by the roll. Scissors are fantastic also
