A sports ground without protection is no longer possible nowadays because the safety of players and spectators is paramount. Carl Stahl ARC is a specialist in the area of both protective mesh and mesh used to stop balls going where they are not supposed to. But what exactly are the advantages of X-TEND stainless steel mesh from Carl Stahl ARC? Why stainless steel mesh and not mesh made of polypropylene yarn? Carl Stahl ARC X-TEND is a protective element which, at the same time, is a design feature. It is made entirely of stainless steel of the V4a family. In a specially developed procedure, the stainless steel cables are pressed with stainless steel ferrules to form a resilient and flexible mesh structure. X-TEND moulds itself to the desired shape of the area to be protected and adapts individually – for two- or three-dimensional applications. 58
Stainless steel safety mesh is compelling due to its stability, durability and flexibility, and has the additional advantage of being non-flammable. At the same time it is absolutely UV-resistant. Above all, the mesh is extremely fine, making it hardly visible. X-TEND cannot be damaged, or at least can only be damaged with great difficulty, with knives or other such tools – reducing problems with vandalism. The spectators and also the athletes enjoy a perfect view. Balls fly silently sb 2/2022
