Longitudinal Wrapping
For pipes with a circumference of less than 6 inches in relation to the width of the RockGuard.

1. Unroll the mesh parallel to the pipe which is to be protected.



2. Place the mesh below the pipe.



3. Wrap the mesh around the pipe overlapping the edges by approx 6 inches.



4. The mesh can be secured by polyester filament tape.

Latitudinal Wrapping
For pipes with a larger circumference than the roll width.

1. Cut the RockGuard into pieces of more than 6" extra than the circumference of the pipe.



2. Wrap the pipe with RockGuard overlapping the adjacent installed RockGuard by 6".



3. Fix the RockGuard with polyester filament tape in two places per pad.

Spiral Wrapping
This process can be applied to longer circumference pipes:

1. Start wrapping the pipe moving along the length of the pipe, so that the RockGuard overlaps slightly.



2. Use the polyester filament tape to secure the RockGuard in situ as the RockGuard is wrapped.
