A corporate aircraft hangar required a jet blast fence that was effective, aesthetically pleasing, durable, and visually transparent. The result is a vertical jet blast fence with expanded metal panels. The specific profile of the mesh material used has been subjected to rigorous testing in a wind tunnel to demonstrate its effectiveness. After galvanizing, all material was powder coated to match the clientās color scheme.
