Heras Fence Covers: PVC Mesh vs AeroMesh

By Peter Symonds

Quick answer

Choose PVC mesh when you want a heavier, robust printed fence cover with strong graphic visibility and good wind permeability. Choose AeroMesh when airflow and low weight are the priority, particularly at exposed sites, sports venues, festivals or temporary events.

Display Wizard's current Heras covers are produced at 3445mm x 1850mm. The PVC Mesh version uses 370gsm PVC mesh, while the AeroMesh version uses 115gsm 100% polyester.

Both are designed for outdoor branding, but their construction makes them better suited to slightly different conditions.

PVC Mesh Heras fence covers

PVC mesh is the heavier option. Its perforated construction lets wind pass through while maintaining a robust printed surface.

It is well suited to:

  • construction sites

  • perimeter fencing

  • event barriers

  • longer temporary campaigns

  • locations where print impact and durability are important

AeroMesh Heras fence covers

AeroMesh is a much lighter polyester mesh designed for high airflow.

It is well suited to:

  • exposed or windy locations

  • sports venues

  • festivals

  • temporary event fencing

  • campaigns where low packed weight and easy handling matter

Which should I choose?

If you are unsure, start with the site conditions. The more exposed the fence is to wind, the more important airflow becomes. For a more substantial material with strong general-purpose outdoor performance, PVC mesh is the straightforward choice. For greater airflow and lower weight, AeroMesh is the stronger option.

Heras Fence Cover FAQs

What size is a printed Heras fence cover?

Display Wizard's current PVC Mesh and AeroMesh Heras fence covers are produced at 3445mm wide by 1850mm high.

Is mesh better than solid PVC for Heras fencing?

Mesh allows air to pass through the graphic, which helps reduce wind load on temporary fencing. That makes mesh materials a sensible choice for exposed outdoor applications.

What is the difference between PVC Mesh and AeroMesh?

The PVC Mesh product uses a heavier 370gsm PVC mesh, while AeroMesh uses a lightweight 115gsm polyester. AeroMesh prioritises airflow and low weight; PVC Mesh provides a more substantial general-purpose outdoor graphic.

Can Heras fence covers be custom printed?

Yes. Both products are designed as custom-branded fence graphics for construction sites, events and perimeter advertising.
