5mm Polyester Knot Weave Camouflage Rope Mesh 40mm Aperture | Anti Drone Netting for Forward Positions

Product Overview

This panel is woven from 5 mm UV stabilized high tenacity polyester yarn in a double knot construction, with a 40 mm aperture that is deliberately tighter than the 60 mm version used for open perimeter runs. The denser grid raises the probability that a small rotor strikes a rope rather than passing between them, which is what forward positions and trench overheads actually need.

The yarn is dyed in two tone camouflage colorways that interrupt the outline of the installation when seen from above, and because the panel is entirely textile there is no metal rattle during night movement or repositioning. Panels accept scrim, leaf cut fabric or radar scattering cloth when additional visual or thermal masking is required.

Technical Specifications

Why 40 mm Rather Than 60 mm

• Higher interception probability: the tighter grid leaves less room for a small rotor to slip through at speed.
• Still light enough to hang: at 260 g/m2 the panel remains hand portable for two workers on uneven ground.
• More cell edges per square metre: a struck drone tangles across several knots instead of tearing a single cell open.
• Pairs with 60 mm: use 40 mm over the position itself and 60 mm on the outer perimeter where coverage length dominates.

Key Advantages

• Camouflage dye bath: two tone yarn breaks the outline from the air, so positions are harder to map or target.
• No metal components: nothing to rattle, rust or reflect, and safe to handle with gloves in the dark.
• UV stabilized yarn: rated for five years of outdoor exposure without measurable strength loss.
• Scrim ready: the grid carries additional fabric for visual and thermal masking without a second frame.
• Repairable in the field: a damaged cell is re-knotted with a spare yarn length, no tools required.
• Quiet wind behaviour: soft rope dampens flutter noise compared with wire mesh of similar density.

Typical Applications

• Forward positions, trench overheads and observation posts
• Concealment of vehicles, generators and supply stacks
• Camouflage screening combined with drone protection in one panel
• Temporary command posts and field hospitals needing low visibility
• Civil event perimeters where soft netting is preferred over wire

Installation

Panels are laced edge to edge with the supplied polyester cord and tensioned on timber poles, existing fences, tree anchors or vehicle frames. Because the mesh is soft, it conforms to irregular ground and can be draped over equipment without a rigid frame. Two workers typically hang 150 to 200 square metres per day depending on anchor points.
