What is Rebound Mesh?

Download the PDF version of Introducing Rebound Mesh Gates Press Release.

Rebound mesh fencing is a type of fence designed to bounce balls back when they hit it. Made from durable, high-tensile steel wire, the mesh allows the ball to rebound instead of getting stuck. It’s commonly used in sports facilities and training areas to keep play continuous without constantly retrieving balls.

Rebound is typically made from 868 mesh, with the bottom 1.2 metres of the panel featuring square apertures welded at 50mm x 50mm centres. Anything above 1.2 metres usually has 200mm x 50mm centres.

All of our rebound systems are 2500mm centres.

How do Rebound Mesh Gates Look?

Our rebound gates have many key features, including:

Overhead Lintel Panel- This panel above the gate is called a lintel panel. Overhead lintel panels allow the gate to match the height of the adjacent ball court fence.
Clipped Post- For strength, all our rebound gate hinges and catch posts are inserted, clipped and supplied with clamp bars, ensuring maximum safety without the risk of mesh coming loose.
180 Degree Hinges- A recommendation by SAPCA, 180-degree hinges allow for the gate to open away from the ball court and fully back against the adjacent mesh, preventing any unlikely injury from passerby.
Modular UniSlide Kits- The modular UniSlide kits are adaptable, allowing for quick and easy installation of a selection of 3rd party locks, including latch locks, deadbolts and even digital combination locks, with no modification required.
Holes for Locking Drop Bolt- Installers can now decide if a drop bolt is required or not. If not used, simply plug the holes with the supplied insert caps.

What Sizes are Available in the Rebound Mesh Sport Gates Range?

The rebound mesh gate range by First Fence has been designed to suit six different height MUGA ball courts, allowing for the gate to blend into most height requirements for Multiple Use Games Areas. The six different total heights include: 3.0m,3.6m, 4.2m, 4.8m, 5.4m and 6.0m high.

Total height of a Rebound Mesh gate up to 6 metres

Single Leaf and Double Leaf Variations?

Our rebound mesh gates are available in both single leaf and double leaf styles, each with a standard height of 2.4m. The key difference between the two lies in the gate's width and configuration. The double leaf gate features two leaves with an opening width of 2.0m, while the single leaf gate has one leaf with an opening width of 1.2m. For the double leaf gate, you can select which leaf will serve as the primary one and install the appropriate hardware accordingly. Additionally, the single leaf gate includes one locking drop bolt, while the double leaf gate comes with two for added security.
