Front plate and counter plate are ordered separately
One connection needs both. They are listed as separate articles, so a complete joint means two items — worth checking before a bulk order.
The bolt belongs to it
The plates are designed for a carriage bolt with a square neck, DIN 603 M8. The square neck sits in the square hole of the front plate and keeps the bolt from turning while the nut is tightened.
Panel types
The connectors suit the common double-wire panels with 6/5/6 and 8/6/8 wire diameters. Installation steps for the whole fence are shown in the guide fixing welded wire mesh fence panels.

Frequently asked questions
What is a mesh connector needed for?
Where two double-wire mesh panels meet, the mesh pitch would otherwise jump. The mesh connector holds both panel ends so that the pitch continues across the joint – the fence looks continuous and the joint is not the weak point.
What is the difference between front plate and counter plate?
The front plate has a square hole that holds the carriage bolt so it does not turn while being tightened. The counter plate has a slot and can therefore be aligned before final tightening. Both plates are required for one connection.
Which mesh pitches are available?
In stock for pitches of 35 mm (FC004) and 50 mm (FC005), each as front and counter plate in stainless steel 1.4301. The version for 25 mm (FC003) is available on request.
How is the mesh pitch determined?
Measure the spacing of the vertical wires of the installed panel, not the mesh aperture. A connector with the wrong pitch will not fit – when in doubt, measure at the fence.
