How to join a wall and a colum using Chicken Mesh


 🏗️ HOW TO JOIN A WALL AND A COLUMN USING CHICKEN MESH

(Professional Construction Education — Preventing Cracks) 📐

In modern construction, one of the biggest challenges is the occurrence of cracks (Cracks) at the point where a brick wall meets a concrete column (R.C.C Column).

This occurs for one main reason — concrete and brick have different expansion and contraction characteristics when temperature and humidity change.

A professional solution used worldwide is Chicken Mesh — and this is how it is installed:

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

🔧 STEPS TO IMPLEMENTATION:

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

1️⃣ DRILLING HOLES IN THE COLUMN (Drilling)

Use a drill machine to drill small holes in the concrete column accurately.

 ✔ These holes provide space for anchors to hold the mesh in place for long-term stability.

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

2️⃣ FIXING NAILS/ANCHORS

Metal nails or anchors are placed in the holes.

✔ Its function is to hold the chicken mesh firmly against the posts and the wall.

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

3️⃣ ATTACHING MESH

The mesh is placed in the center of the connection between the posts and the wall with high precision.

✔ Its function is to distribute stress and prevent cracks from occurring in that area.

━

4️⃣ CUTTING AND REPAIRING

The mesh is cut using a wire cutter according to the size of the area.

 ✔ Ensure the mesh is flat and firm before plastering.

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

5️⃣ PLASTERING

After the mesh is properly installed — plaster is applied over it to cover the entire joint.

✔ Makes the joint strong, durable, and has a beautiful, pleasing finish.

 ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

📌 BENEFITS OF THIS METHOD:

✅ Significantly reduces the likelihood of cracks

✅ Increases the durability and longevity of the building

✅ Helps the plaster adhere better to the wall

✅ It is a simple, fast, and cost-effective method

✅ Used by top engineers around the world

━

⚠️ NOTE:

This method is especially important in:

🔹 Apartment buildings

🔹 Areas with temperature changes (hot sun and cold)

🔹 Any place where a concrete column meets a brick wall

Don't ignore this step — cracks that appear later start here.
