Bayan Signage prints wind-permeable mesh banners for construction hoardings, scaffold wraps, event perimeters and rooftop railings. We print the mesh on our own large-format machines in Ajman, reinforce every hem for the tie load, and our crews fix it on site, so one team answers for the banner from the first proof to the last cable tie.
Mesh banner printing produces a PVC-coated polyester net with an open weave, usually 270 to 370 gsm, printed on one face so it reads as a solid image from a few metres away. The holes let a large share of the wind pass through, which is why contractors, developers, scaffold firms and event organisers in Dubai specify it for long fence runs, building wraps, stadium barriers and rooftop railings, anywhere a solid banner would act like a sail.
Mesh is a compromise, and a good printer manages it rather than hiding it. Some ink passes through the holes, so colours look lighter and fine text breaks up. We raise colour density for mesh, print a test strip of your real artwork on the actual media and hang it at viewing distance in our yard, then reinforce hems for the tie spacing on your fence or scaffold drawing. Those three habits remove most of the complaints people have about mesh.
Bayan Signage has printed in its Ajman factory since 2016 as the production arm of Bayan Advertising, a UAE group with 15 years in the market. Our printers handle mesh up to 3.2 m wide in one pass, our installation crews work at height on live sites, and our project managers coordinate with your fence or scaffold contractor, which is often where hoarding jobs go wrong.

Mesh earns its place on large, exposed jobs. These are the formats we print most often, each finished differently for the structure it is tied to.
Printed mesh for 2 m temporary fencing and plot hoardings, sized slightly smaller than each panel so ties can be tensioned and posts are not pulled over.
View details →Large drops joined from 3.2 m widths, with rope in the top hem and mid-panel eyelets, planned to the scaffold lifts so every tie lands on a tube.
View details →Developer renders and project details on mesh along a site perimeter, coordinated with the permanent project board and the master developer's hoarding guidelines.
View details →Branded mesh on crowd barriers and temporary fencing at outdoor concerts, races and festivals, where a solid banner would push light fencing over in an evening breeze.
View details →On a sheltered wall or a short fence section seen close up, solid PVC gives richer colour, so we recommend it instead of mesh.
View details →We measure the fence or facade and ask the fence or scaffold contractor for panel sizes and lift heights. Mesh drops are planned around that structure, so ties land on tubes and posts rather than in mid-air.
Our designers enlarge thin strokes, avoid pale tints and keep text above about 30 mm per metre of viewing distance. Every join line between drops is kept clear of faces, logos and phone numbers.
Before a large run we print a short strip of the actual artwork on the chosen mesh and view it from 15 m in daylight. You see the true colour shift before hundreds of square metres are printed.
Mesh is printed on our UV or solvent machines up to 3.2 m wide. Hems are folded 40 to 50 mm with reinforcing tape, rope goes into the top hem of tall drops, and eyelets are set at the agreed spacing.
Each drop is checked against the approved layout, numbered in installation order and rolled on its own core, so the crew on site hangs drop 7 next to drop 8 without unrolling everything.
Our crew ties every eyelet, starting at the top corners and working outwards, leaving slight give so the mesh flexes in gusts. On scaffolds we work to the scaffold contractor's permit and safety rules.
Our starting specification for an exposed outdoor job in the UAE. Height, exposure and campaign length decide where we move up a grade, and each change is itemised.
| Component | Our standard | Upgrade options | Why it matters |
|---|---|---|---|
| Mesh grade | 270 to 300 gsm PVC-coated mesh | 330 to 370 gsm heavy mesh | Heavier mesh holds eyelets better over long spans and tall scaffold drops. |
| UV or solvent ink at raised colour density | Mesh with backing liner for finer detail | Extra density offsets the ink lost through the holes, so colours hold at distance. | |
| Hems | 40 to 50 mm folded hem with reinforcing tape | Rope or webbing in the top hem | Mesh edges are weaker than solid flex; reinforcement stops tears starting at corners. |
| Eyelets | Every 400 to 500 mm around the edge | Every 300 mm plus mid-panel rows | Intermediate eyelets stop tall drops bellying out between the top and bottom rows. |
| Joins | Drops up to 3.2 m wide | Joined drops for full building wraps | Planned joins follow scaffold lifts and avoid key content. |
| Fixings | UV-stable cable ties through every eyelet | Bungees on fences, ratchet straps on scaffolds | Ties that flex a little stop the mesh tearing in gusts. |
Mesh jobs are large, so small mistakes multiply across hundreds of square metres. These are the points we check on every hoarding and wrap brief.
Brand teams often approve a mesh layout on a monitor and are surprised on site, because colours look roughly 10 to 20 percent lighter once some ink passes through the holes. A printed strip on the real mesh, viewed from the normal distance in daylight, sets the right expectation. It takes ten minutes and avoids the most common complaint we hear: it looked better on the screen.
Mesh is almost always seen from 10 m or more, and thin strokes break up on the weave. Allow around 30 mm of letter height per metre of viewing distance, a little more than for solid flex. Logos on a roadside fence work best at 800 mm to 1.5 m tall and phone numbers at 300 mm or more. Fine white text on a dark background closes up, so avoid it.
Mesh reduces wind load; it does not remove it. Ties at 1 m spacing on a long fence work loose, the banner flaps, and the eyelets tear from the corners inwards. We tie every eyelet, tighten spacing at exposed corners and junctions, and recommend a walk along the fence after any storm to replace broken ties before a small tear runs.
Artwork designed without the scaffold drawing ends up with join lines across faces and ties floating between tubes. Lifts are commonly about 2 m apart, so we plan each drop to land its tie rows on the tubes. Send us the scaffold layout before the design starts, and tell us which windows on an occupied building residents still need to open.
A wrap that stays up for a year sees summer UV, shamal winds and sand abrasion. We price a mid-term inspection into long jobs rather than waiting for a call about a flapping corner. Replacing ties and patching small tears early is far cheaper than replacing a full drop at height.
Every mesh job is quoted from its area and structure. Send the fence length or facade size, a site photo and your artwork or renders, and we will usually return an itemised quote within 24 hours.
Hoarding jobs often run to hundreds of square metres. Area drives the price first, and large areas spread artwork and set-up across more metres, lowering the rate.
Heavier mesh and liner-backed printing cost more per square metre. They pay off on tall exposed wraps and detailed images, rarely on a short fence run.
Joining drops, adding rope to hems and setting mid-panel eyelets all take workshop time, and that time grows quickly on full building wraps.
Tying mesh to a ground-level fence is quick. Scaffold and facade wraps need lifts or rope access, coordination with the scaffold contractor and safe working windows.
A wrap planned to stay up for a year may need heavier mesh and a mid-term inspection, which is better priced at the start than added later.
Where the hoarding or wrap needs municipality, developer or free-zone approval, the drawing and submission work appears as its own line on the quote.
Site hoardings and their graphics usually fall under the rules of the municipality, master developer or free-zone authority for the plot, covering height, content and the project information that must be shown. In Dubai that may be Dubai Municipality, Trakhees or a free zone such as JAFZA or DMCC; Sharjah and Ajman sites go through their municipalities. Mesh beside main roads may also need RTA input so it does not block junction sightlines.
Building wraps on occupied towers usually need the owner's or facility manager's approval as well, and advertising content on a wrap can need its own permit. Our draftsmen prepare elevations, drop layouts and content drawings for the submission, with Arabic and English checked. Requirements differ by location and change over time, so we confirm the current rules for your exact site at the survey.
Mesh, PVC and hoarding graphics are printed on our own UV and solvent machines up to 3.2 m wide, so we control colour density and timing ourselves.
Hems, rope edges and eyelet spacing are set from your fence or scaffold layout, not from a default, which is what keeps long runs intact through windy months.
Our installers work at height, follow site safety inductions and coordinate with scaffold and fence contractors, across all seven emirates.
Our technical draftsmen prepare hoarding elevations, drop layouts and content drawings for municipality, master developer and free-zone submissions, with Arabic checked.
A single contact handles survey, proofs, printing, installation and any re-tie visits, so you never chase three departments about one fence.
Printing, finishing, installation and approval work are listed separately, usually within 24 hours, making it easy to compare quotes for large areas.
The cost depends on total area, mesh weight, finishing, access and how long the banner stays up. A short fence run at ground level costs far less per metre to install than a scaffold wrap at height. Send us the length and height to cover, a site photo and your artwork, and we will send an itemised quote, usually within 24 hours.
Yes. With around 30 to 40 percent open area, mesh lets a large share of the wind pass through, which reduces the load on eyelets, ties and the fence or scaffold. It does not make a banner windproof, so correct tie spacing and a quick check after storms are still needed on exposed sites.
Not quite. Some ink passes through the holes, so colours appear lighter and photographs look slightly grainy up close. From the usual viewing distance of 10 m or more the difference is small. We raise colour density for mesh and can print a sample strip first if exact brand colour matters to you.
Yes. Large wraps are printed in drops up to 3.2 m wide, joined where needed and finished with reinforced hems and mid-panel eyelets. We work from the scaffold drawing so ties land on the tubes, coordinate access with the scaffold contractor and confirm any approvals the building needs before fixing.
Partly. From outside in daylight the printed face dominates and little shows behind it. From inside, mesh behaves a bit like a shade screen, so residents and site staff can still see out, though light levels drop. For occupied buildings we can use a more open weave on drops over windows that people use.
Typically six to eighteen months in the UAE. Constant sun on a south or west face, missing ties and sand abrasion are what shorten it. Heavier mesh, reinforced hems and an inspection on long jobs push it towards the upper end. We keep your print files, so a replacement drop can be reprinted to match.
The programme is confirmed with your quote and depends on total area, finishing and our print schedule. Building wraps need more planning because of joining, reinforcement and installation planning. Where hoarding guidelines or permits apply, approval is often the longest step, so we start the drawings early.
Yes. Our crews install mesh on fences, hoardings, railings and scaffolds in Dubai, Sharjah, Ajman, Abu Dhabi, Ras Al Khaimah, Umm Al Quwain and Fujairah. The site survey is free in Dubai, Sharjah and Ajman.
