Assembling MonkeyMESH
MonkeyMESH Manual P6
Thefollowing toolsare required for installation:
Ratchet and socketextension tosuit M8 screws and nuts
An M8 spanner
Additionally, we recommend the use of the following Personal Protective Equipment (PPE):
Planning Your Installation
Safety GlassesSteel-Capped Boots High-vis Work Wear
Throughout the development of MonkeyMESH we have investigated and tested the safest and most
efficient method ofinstallation.
Installation should start atone end of theracking assembly, commencing at the top-most position
for a MonkeyMESH Panel. The next section to be installed should be the section immediately
underneath,and so on until you reach thebottom of that rack.
The installer should then move to the sectionof theracking assembly immediately next to the section
that now has MonkeyMESH installed,and again start from the top and work down.The following
diagram illustrates our recommendation for the order in which MonkeyMESH Panels should be
installed:

Please note
Before beginning
installation, make sure
to carefullymeasure
where the MonkeyMESH
will go on the racking
assembly. If you install
the top Bracket too low,
the bottom Bracket may
not have enough space
to be installed.

Each MonkeyMESH Bracket has a “mounting flange”.This is the section of the MonkeyMESH
Bracket that will be fixed to the upright. The mounting flange must always be facing “outwards” from
where the MonkeyMESH Panel will be.
MonkeyMESH Brackets can be used “either way up”, but must always have the mounting flange
facing outwards from the MonkeyMESHPanel and must bethe “same way up”for both “top
brackets” and the same way up for both “bottom brackets”.
For the following instructions, we have chosen Option3 for the purposes of our illustrations.

Position one MonkeyMESH Bracket at thetop left boundary of where you
want the MonkeyMESHPanel to cover. This MonkeyMESH Bracketmust
have the mounting flange facing outwards from where the MonkeyMESH
Panel will be.
Position another MonkeyMESH Bracket at the top right boundary of
where you want the MonkeyMESH Panel to cover. This MonkeyMESH
Bracketmust also have the mounting flange facing outwards from where
the MonkeyMESH Panel will be.
Check that both “top” MonkeyMESHBrackets are at the same height and
that both MonkeyMESHBrackets are “thesame way up.” Tighten the
fixings on both MonkeyMESH Brackets (maximum torque is 22Nm).
Position the MonkeyMESHPanelsothat one of thetop three horizontal
wires slots in to and then “hangs down” in the top catchment slot. Make
sure that the panel has the stiffening wires are on the “inside” of the
racking assembly.
Both the left MonkeyMESH Bracket and theright MonkeyMESH
Bracket’s top catchment slots should have the same horizontal wire in
them.
The MonkeyMESH Panel should be able to hang from these two
MonkeyMESH Brackets while installation continues.

Manually push the “bottom” MonkeyMESHBrackets downwards so that
the MonkeyMESH Panel’s horizontal wires push up intothe top part of the
MonkeyMESH Brackets’ catchment slots. The maximum force that should
be used when pushing downis 15kg.
The tension created bypushing down on the bottom MonkeyMESH
Brackets once the mesh isin place creates a positive lock and adds
greater rigidity and strength throughout the MonkeyMESH Panel.
Creating this tension is a key requirement of the MonkeyMESH system.
Unless this positive lock is created through the application of tension,the
wire backing system may not perform to specification.
While pressing down to create thetension, tighten thefixings on both
MonkeyMESHBrackets (maximum torque is 22Nm).

In support of the MonkeyMESH warranty requirements and as part of a safe working
environment, regularinspections should beperformed for MonkeyMESH. We recommend
thefollowing schedule ofinspections:
Inspections should include, but not be limited to:
Inspection
Periodically
Post Incident
MonkeyMESH Brackets
In line with your regular site maintenance schedule, or at
least annually.
Ensure MonkeyMESH Brackets are securely fastened to the
rack uprights. Tighten fastenings if necessary (maximum
torque is 22Nm).
Ensure that the top and bottom Bracket catchment slots are
correctly aligned with the MonkeyMESH Panel as per the
Assembly & Installation sectionof this manual.
Check that Brackets are straight and are not damaged or
permanently deflected.
If a safety incident occurs near or involving MonkeyMESH,
or if there is an impact or potential damageto the
MonkeyMESH, an inspection should be performed.
Ensure that no stock weight is resting on the MonkeyMESH
Panel. WhileMonkeyMESH is designed to prevent stock
from falling, it is not a load-bearing structure.
Check that the Panels are straight and are not damaged or
permanently deflected.
Check that the tension on the Panels remains firm.
