Pete Posted August 21, 2017 Share Posted August 21, 2017 What have people used to ventilate the gap behind the cladding on a timber frame building? We are probably going to use an iroko cladding and need to ventilate behind on our timber frame.I have seen the mesh on a roll and in specified lengths in a batten type affair. I am not sure of the depth from the frame at the moment but I think it may be 25mm.TIA Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Temp Posted August 21, 2017 Share Posted August 21, 2017 I think stainless steel mesh is probably the best. Not sure if the plastic version is rat proof. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ryder72 Posted August 21, 2017 Share Posted August 21, 2017 We used fibreglass mesh. Very pliable and needs a sharp stanley to cut. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeremy Harris Posted August 21, 2017 Share Posted August 21, 2017 (edited) I used stainless steel pan scourers, bought in bulk from a catering supplier. However, there is a better solution that was suggested by @Temp, which is to use "Pestplug" ( http://pestplug.com/), or as @PeterStarck suggested in this thread, use the stainless wire wool intended for use in exhaust silencers: Edited August 21, 2017 by JSHarris 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
