Lacing Tools

Maccaferri offers both pneumatic and manual tools to help are used to assemble our double twisted hexagonal woven steel wire mesh products. Adjacent panels of mesh are secured together using Spenax Rings which are closed, using the Spenax tool.

Fixing Rings

Fixing rings (or “hog rings”) are used within the lacing tools to assemble our double twisted hexagonal woven steel wire mesh products. Adjacent panels of mesh are secured together using the rings which are closed, using the lacing tool.

Ties and Spirals

When assembling mesh products, ties and fastenings are also used.

Lacing wire is used to assemble and connect double twist mesh products. Lacing wire is also used to install bracing wires within gabions (both Double Twist and Welded) and Terramesh® units to ensure a good face finish.
