Scaffolding nets, stage gauze and PVC mesh fabrics for open-air stages and temporary outdoor structures

Scaffolding nets, stage gauze, and PVC mesh fabrics from TÜCHLER serve as air-permeable coverings for open-air stages, trusses, scaffolding, and temporary outdoor structures.

Their mesh structure effectively reduces wind load and prevents air accumulation – a key safety aspect in outdoor applications.

At the same time, they provide a uniform, non-reflective surface and visually separate stage areas from the audience without obstructing airflow or acoustics.

All mesh fabrics – scaffolding nets, stage gauze, and PVC mesh – are UV-resistant, tear-resistant, and weatherproof.

The materials are flame-retardant and – depending on the version – tested and certified according to EN 13773, EN 13501 or DIN 4102.

Thus, they meet the key safety and fire protection requirements for professional stage and event operations.

For event organizers, riggers, stage equipment rental companies, and concert producers, these mesh fabrics offer tangible benefits:

• Quick and secure installation thanks to pre-fabricated standard sizes
• Air permeability and fire protection for increased operational safety
• Neutral, low-reflection surface for a professional stage appearance
• High tear resistance with low weight
• Reusability for efficient multiple deployments in touring setups

For event organizers, riggers, stage technology rental companies, and concert producers, these mesh fabrics offer clear advantages:

• Fast and safe setup using pre-configured standard formats
• Wind permeability and fire resistance for increased safety
• Neutral, low-glare surface for a professional stage look
• High tensile strength with low weight
• Reusable – ideal for touring and mobile use

TÜCHLER offers a wide selection of cost-effective standard sizes as well as reinforced versions with durable edge finishing and integrated eyelets – ideal for recurring or high-stress applications.

In addition to standard formats, the TÜCHLER sewing atelier also manufactures custom-sized special formats on short notice, based on customer specifications.

This allows scaffolding nets, stage gauze, and PVC mesh fabrics to be perfectly adapted to stage constructions, trusses, or special structures – with no additional on-site preparation needed.

1. What are scaffolding nets, stage gauze and PVC mesh fabrics used for?
   These mesh materials are used to cover open-air stages, trusses, scaffolding and temporary outdoor structures. They reduce wind loads, create visual separation and increase safety for outdoor events.

2. What is the difference between scaffolding nets, stage gauze and PVC mesh fabric?
   Scaffolding nets and stage gauze are often used interchangeably. They should not be confused with leaf gauze – a thin netting with approx. 30×30 mm mesh, traditionally used to attach leaves and similar elements for stage sets.
   PVC mesh is a very robust synthetic fiber mesh, coated with PVC for added strength and weather resistance. Scaffolding netting is also resistant to creasing, while PVC mesh retains fold lines and creases permanently.

3. Are all materials flame-retardant?
   Yes, all TÜCHLER mesh fabrics are flame-retardant and – depending on the version – tested and certified according to EN 13773, EN 13501 or DIN 4102 (B1). Every product holds at least one of these certifications.

4. How wind-permeable are the mesh fabrics?
   Wind permeability depends on the mesh structure. PVC mesh and stage gauze significantly reduce wind loads, improving the stability of open-air structures and enhancing setup safety. Exact specifications can be found in each product description.

5. Can these materials be used outdoors permanently?
   Yes. All TÜCHLER mesh fabrics are UV-resistant, water-repellent and weather-resistant. They are suitable for long-term or repeated outdoor use in stage and event applications.

6. Are there standard sizes and ready-made formats?
   Yes, TÜCHLER offers cost-effective ready-made formats in common sizes for quick installation. These are available immediately and pre-configured for setup.

7. Are reinforced versions available?
   For more demanding applications, reinforced versions with sturdy edge finishing and integrated eyelets are available. These are particularly suitable for frequent assembly/disassembly or high wind load zones.

8. Can custom sizes be made?
   Yes. The TÜCHLER sewing workshop can quickly produce custom formats tailored to customer specifications. This allows net and mesh fabrics to be perfectly adapted to stage constructions or trusses.

9. How are the mesh fabrics installed?
   They are typically attached using cable ties, bungee hooks, tension straps, keder systems or special tensioning tools. Reinforced edges with eyelets enable secure, even, and fast installation.

10. Do the materials comply with event safety standards?
    Yes. TÜCHLER mesh fabrics meet the safety and fire protection requirements relevant for temporary stage structures according to European regulations. Test reports and certifications are available on request.

11. Can the fabrics be printed or branded?
    Depending on the material type, printing is possible. TÜCHLER offers printing solutions for PVC mesh fabrics using UV-resistant inks.

12. Are the mesh fabrics easy to clean and maintain?
    Yes, the materials are dirt-repellent and easy to clean. Regular dry cleaning or careful wet cleaning with a mild detergent is sufficient. PVC mesh can be cleaned similarly to truck tarpaulins.

13. Are the mesh fabrics reusable?
    Yes, all materials are designed for multiple use. Their high tear resistance and UV stability ensure long service life even with frequent setup and takedown. Note: unlike scaffolding nets, PVC mesh retains permanent creases and fold marks.

14. Can TÜCHLER mesh fabrics be used indoors as well?
    Yes, most products are suitable for both indoor and outdoor applications – for example, as stage backdrops, trade fair setups or temporary room dividers.

15. How quickly can custom formats be delivered?
    Depending on the order volume, custom-sized formats can often be produced and delivered by the TÜCHLER sewing atelier within just a few working days.

16. What colors are available?
    Standard colors are black and white. Additional colors or special surface textures are available upon request.

17. Are technical data sheets available?
    Yes, TÜCHLER provides detailed technical data sheets for all scaffolding nets, stage gauze, and PVC mesh fabrics, including specifications on weight, mesh size, tear resistance, and fire classification.
