Perimeter Ember Fence
Bushfire Mesh Perimeter Ember Fencing is attached to the external perimeter fence of a Class 9 building. The perimeter ember fence will allow the fence line to become the first line of defence for the defendable space. The perimeter ember fence will catch the fire front embers blown along the ground. Bushfire Mesh is tested and shown to create valuable time against a bushfire.
Defendable Space / Asset Protection Zone / Buffer Zones
– Inner Protection Area (IPA), closest to assets, incorporating the defendable space aiming to minimize the impact of radiant heat and direct flame
– Outer Protection Area (OPA), located between IPA and unmanaged vegetation / bush aiming to reduce the intensity of approaching fire, by restricting the pathways to crown fuels, suppressing the level of direct flame, radiant heat and embers attack on IPA and the asset.
Design & Installation
– Can be retrofitted to existing properties
– Installation is simple and quick
– Mesh comes in different widths & lengths and allows customisation to protect your space
Before commencing your installation you should consult a Fire Protection Australia (FPA) Australia- Bushfire Planning and Design (BPAD) Accredited Practitioner and contact your local council and fire authority to ensure you are meeting all the building and AS3959-2018 requirements.
Bushfire Mesh Applications
