X-TEND - versatile cable mesh

Advert by IAKS member Carl Stahl

The X-TEND stainless steel cable mesh from Carl Stahl ARC combines safety and versatility in sports architecture. It offers an excellent solution for both protection and design purposes. The newly defined European Technical Assessment ETA-22/0257 guarantees a reliable basis for its use as a fall protection and safety mesh. The ETA ensures that X-TEND fulfils the requirements of the European Construction Products Regulation, taking into account static calculability and enabling installation in accordance with the directive. In addition, the production process is regularly checked by external monitoring to ensure consistently high quality.

Thanks to its tested quality and reliability, the X-TEND cable mesh is suitable for numerous applications in areas such as sports facilities, schools, nurseries, residential and office buildings as well as for facade greening or horizontal fall protection mesh, even in critical infrastructure. The mesh is made of durable and completely recyclable V4A stainless steel and, thanks to its flexibility, offers a wide range of two- and three-dimensional applications.

X-TEND is available in various mesh widths and wire rope diameters and impresses with its low weight and high load-bearing capacity. This enables filigree constructions with large spans that also offer good visibility for spectators and athletes. In addition, the mesh holds balls silently and without permanent deformation or damage. Particularly in cities where space is limited, X-TEND offers a safe solution, for example for retrofitting of pitches on existing flat roofs.

The X-TEND cable mesh is manufactured in our own factories in Europe, as well as in USA to comply with project-specific "Buy American" guidelines.
