How Cost Effective Is Printed Debris Netting?
DATE:Printed Debris Netting. It is a fairly new product to the construction industry, using the foundations of an essential product for a building site, and making it better.
The main question surrounding printed debris netting however, is how cost effective is it compared to products like Custom Heras Fence Covers, PVC and Mesh Banners.
Sizes
A common misconception with printed debris netting is it available in a size suitable to perfectly fit one Heras fence panel.
The standard Heras panel is 3.5m x 2m, and although the netting is available in 2m widths, the minimum roll length is 25m.
We can however create artwork on request to centre your logo if the roll was placed continuously on Heras fencing, to help improve the final design.
When purchasing either a mesh or PVC banner, sometimes you can input the exact size required, and although our most popular roll is the 2m x 50m, we do offer a range of sizes to try to meet your requirements, with widths from 1.75 to 3.1m and lengths from 25m to 100m.
Prices
Arguably, the most important part of a product, is how cost effective is it in comparison with similar alternatives.
In this section, I will compare the price for our printed debris netting in comparison with similar products like Heras fence covers and mesh banners.
Heras fence covers. If you would be looking at purchasing 50m (around 12 panels) worth, the average price you would pay for a non-flame retardant 115gsm fabric material would be £60/panel, totalling around £720.
With Rhino Printed Debris Netting, a 2m x 50m non-flame retardant is £149, which makes it out to be £12.42/panel, making it much more cost effective to be applied site-wide.
The prices reflected however already have a quantity discount applied. For reference, if you were to purchase 2-3 Heras panel covers, it would cost the same as 1x roll of 2m x 50m, as the average price for 2-3 panel covers is £65-£80.
Mesh Banners. For a 2m x 50m 115gsm banner, the average price we found for a 115gsm 2m x 50m is £1000. For printed debris netting, £149.
PVC Banners. Although the PVC banner is a completely different material, it is often mentioned in comparison to our branded debris netting.
For a 2m x 50m PVC banner, it would cost £1500, 10 times more expensive than printed debris netting.
Material
We manufacture our custom printed debris netting out of a 50gsm polyethylene. Although this is lighter than the other products in this comparison, we found that the wind permeability on a lighter netting is perfect for the harsher weather conditions, and is much easier to move and carry on site when required.
It is also available in flame retardant for peace of mind. We did find a 52gsm for comparison, however it is a more specialist product and is £1795 for a 2m x 50m.
