Daniel Whelan Engineering Works Ltd sports rebound fencing is manufactured using 6mm vertical and 2 number 8mm horizontal wires welded at each intersection to create a strong and durable panel. The bottom 1200mm consists of additional wires which gives apertures of 50 x 60mm with the remaining panel above the rebound section of 50 x 200mm. The closer wire centres on the lower panel allows for a more rigid and robust surface, helping the ball to rebound back onto the court.
