Summary

Specialist who stretches metal mesh on site to construct fences, protective barriers, fall prevention nets, and similar structures.

Description

Wire mesh construction workers are craftsmen who stretch metal mesh based on design drawings and specifications to install fences, protective barriers, and fall prevention nets. They handle various wire mesh products such as chain link fences, wire mesh, and gabions, managing everything from post installation to mesh tension adjustment and joint securing. They use tools like pliers, tension bars, and sometimes welding machines, while paying attention to measurements, tension control, and weather-resistant coatings. The work is mostly outdoors, involving transporting heavy materials and working at heights, so adherence to safety regulations and teamwork are essential.
