7' x 20' Black Mesh Sidewall

7 x 20 Black Mesh Sidewall for Improved Airflow and Insect Control

7 x 20 Black Mesh Sidewall is a PVC-coated mesh screen sidewall designed for use with professional event tents. This sidewall provides increased airflow while helping limit insects, making it a practical option for warm weather events, outdoor gatherings, and installations where ventilation is a priority. The black mesh finish offers a clean, modern look that blends well with a wide range of tent styles and event layouts.

Designed for rental companies, venues, and professional install crews, this mesh sidewall balances comfort and functionality. It attaches securely to the tent rope line and ground anchoring points, helping maintain stability while enhancing the guest experience inside the tent.

Why Mesh Sidewalls Matter in Tent Installations

Standard solid sidewalls can restrict airflow and increase heat buildup inside a tent. Mesh sidewalls address this by allowing air to circulate freely while still providing a physical barrier against insects. This makes them especially useful for summer events, food service areas, and long-duration gatherings where comfort and visibility are important.

Key Features

• PVC-coated mesh construction for durability and flexibility
• Open-scrim design enhances airflow inside the tent
• Helps limit insects while maintaining visibility
• Black mesh finish for a clean, professional appearance
• Snap hooks along the top edge for attachment to the tent rope line
• Grommets along the bottom edge for staking or pinning
• Overlapping sidewall design with side release buckles
• Designed to reduce wind and rain intrusion between adjoining walls

How the 7 x 20 Mesh Sidewall Is Used

Step 1: Attach to the Rope Line

Secure the mesh sidewall to the tent rope line using the integrated snap hooks along the top edge. Ensure the sidewall is evenly aligned with the tent bay before proceeding.

Step 2: Connect Adjoining Sidewalls

Overlap the mesh sidewall with the adjacent wall panel and connect them using the side release buckles. This overlap helps reduce gaps where wind or rain could enter.

Step 3: Secure the Bottom Edge

Use stakes or pins through the grommets along the bottom edge to anchor the sidewall to the ground. Proper anchoring improves stability in light wind conditions.

Step 4: Final Inspection

Confirm that all snap hooks, buckles, and ground anchors are secure. Adjust tension as needed to ensure the sidewall hangs evenly and maintains proper coverage.

Usage Notes

The 7 x 20 Black Mesh Sidewall is intended for professional tent installations where airflow and comfort are priorities. Always ensure sidewalls are properly overlapped and anchored to maintain stability. While mesh sidewalls help reduce wind and rain intrusion when connected correctly, they are not a replacement for solid sidewalls in severe weather conditions. Inspect snap hooks, grommets, and buckles regularly to maintain reliable performance across repeated installations and teardowns.
