5.4mm Steel Gutter Mesh is a bushfire compliant mesh, meaning it is a safe, non-combustible material that can be used in bushfire zones as gutter guard. Only 2mm mesh is "ember guard compliant" though and will keep embers out of your gutters. Blue Mountain's 2mm aluminium mesh is compliant to BAL 12.5, 19 and 29, while 2mm steel mesh provides maximum defence against ember attack being compliant to all BALs (12.5, 19, 29, 40 and FZ).
Hail and snow are somewhat unpredictable forces of nature, but if you live in an area that has them then a steel gutter mesh is recommended which to withstand the weight and impact of hail.

Tiled Mesh Installation
For a detailed guide, please read Blue Mountain Co's Steel Tile Roof Installation Guide (PDF).
- Install safety clips every 1.8m where two tiles meet. To install, slide the safety clip beneath the front edge of the second tile until it hooks over the back of the first tile. Use a flat head screwdriver to lever the second tile up as required. The safety clip provides a secure screw point for the mesh.
- Place the roll of mesh on the roof. The edge of the mesh should rest on top – and just inside – the gutter edge.
- Roll the mesh out along the gutter edge. We recommended screwing the mesh to the gutter edge at both ends to hold the mesh in place.
- If standard or Mesh Lock trim is used, place the metal trim over the mesh. The mesh should rest under the trim and against the front edge of the trim. Secure by placing a metal screw in every pre-made hole. Do no over tighten the metal screws. If trim is not used, screw the mesh to the gutter edge every 250mm. INSTALLATION TIP: As a guide, tighten the screw to the point where the rubber washer begins to compress.
- For 2mm mesh, pinch the mesh at the gutter edge to form a horizontal platform. This will create a water break to prevent water from flowing to the edge of the mesh during heavy rainfall. For 4mm or 5.4mm mesh, you should consider pinching the mesh when the roof pitch is steep (over approx, 30°).
- Using tin snips, trim the mesh along the bottom edge of the second tile. This is necessary to allow the mesh to drop and rest flat against the top of the first tile. We recommend testing a short length of trimmed mesh to confirm that the trimmed width is correct.
- Push the mesh down to the front edge of the second tile.
- Install standard clips to the ridge of every second tile. For 2mm mesh, snip one strand of the mesh to allow the standard clip to be inserted. Insert the standard clip through this hole with the tail facing up and push the clip beneath the second tile using a flathead screwdriver. For 4mm or 5.4mm mesh, insert the standard clip through the second last hole in the mesh with the tail facing up and push the clip beneath the second tile using a flathead screwdriver.
- Place a metal screw through the mesh into each safety clip.
Joining mesh
When joining two pieces of mesh, overlap the mesh by 20mm. Place a metal screw through the centre of the overlap.
Corners
Cut the mesh around the edge of the ridge capping. Overlap the mesh above the gutter and join using a metal screw.
Tools You Might Need
- Cordless drill or impact driver
- Tin snips
- 1/4 inch magnetic setter bit
- Brush, vacuum or leaf blower (for cleaning gutters prior)
- Ladder or trestles & plank
- Personal protective equipment (PPE including eye protection, gloves, UV protection, footwear, fall restraint device, etc.)
Safety Recommendations
- Take appropriate safety precautions while working at heights. Please check with relevant local and/or state authorities to see if there are any safety laws or rules that apply to working at height in your area.
- Please read all instructions carefully and completely before commencing the installation.
- Use personal protective equipment (PPE) including appropriate clothing when handling and working with gutter mesh and gutter mesh componentry.
- Seek professional advice or call Blue Mountain Co on (07) 3248 9600 if you do not understand any of the installation instructions.
- Only use the recommended componentry and accessories. Use of non-recommended items may create a hazard and will void the warranty of the product.

Here are some kind words from happy customers:
Thanks for the excellent customer service, especially that the order wasn't a straight forward one. I'd highly recommend you guys if someone asked about tanks, particularly stainless steel ones.
Great Service - Very commutative throughout the whole. However best for us, was the flexibility to work around our plumber. We changed delivery dates three times and they were easy to work with and even worked with our plumber direct, as a result tank delivered and fitted all the same day.
Fantastic price, customer service & product! We bought a QTank poly-slimline tank via Tank Shop, for our pool/garden. The customer service, delivery and quality of the product was fantastic. We’ve had a lot of trades & deliveries during our renovations and the experience with QTank and Tank Shop was one of the best. They were quick to confirm everything, kept us informed throughout and the QTank delivery was super smooth and well explained. Would highly recommend both companies.
No worries at all Tank shop were simply great.
Lotsa detailed help.
Careful and effective.
Actually surprisingly cheap for stainless.
Beautiful tank, I mean real pretty.
Delivery bloke was superb, even helping me with getting around a tight corner I should have had ready, with only positivity.
Oh and only a week and a half from order to install. This is not usual, but still, it happened.
Couldn’t be happier. It even rained after the install.
Great service Tank Shop staff were excellent to deal with and found a great solution for my installation. Price was good, service was great and I was kept informed of where my order was up to every step of the way. Delivery was right on time and the guys installing the tanks were very good. Highly recommend Tank Shop to anyone!
The process throughout has gone very smoothly - from the excellent information provided by you guys before and during the order process, through to the frequent updates and punctual delivery by Kingspan.
It's been a great experience - I will be happily recommending you to any of my colleagues who are looking for a tank.
Thanks for all your help!

Great product (Maelstrom Filter System), has made a big difference
Excellent service and value for money - Reviewed at least five tank suppliers and then found Tank Shop offering excellent deal on Qtank. Helpful and courteous dealing with both companies to get delivery tied in with other work being done. Highly recommend Tank Shop and their Qtank supplier for all aspects of purchase including delivery.
Had to get a new water tank and found this Brisbane based company online. The tank was ordered easily using the online form and payment system. The company communicated with us at every step, and delivery was definitely in the time frame they advised. The delivery guys were polite and efficient. Def recommend this company.
Got 3 tanks and 3 Maelstrom filter in 2020 in Melbourne. Very happy with kind and honest service & quick reply from Scott. Thanks
Good communication with Tank Shop made for an easy transaction. My new high quality rainwater tank and fittings arrived on schedule and the delivery driver had the tank sited in a matter of minutes. A very satisfied customer!
Excellent customer service over and above the expectation. Professional and prompt Ordering through to Delivery, Keith even helped us position the tank in which was a tricky spot. I had also initially made an error with the online payment and sent the money to a wrong Account, Scott was very helpful and we tracked the funds through Scott's Bank, CUA, no thanks to my Bank the NAB! All in all an excellent outcome, thanks Tank Shop.
My first time using Tankshop, and it all went extremely well very satisfied with pricing, quality and speedy delivery. Would recommend this seller anyone.
I ordered a $20 item plus transport from Tank Shop.
It arrived in Melbourne 2 days later and sat in the transport company’s warehouse for 2 weeks, waiting for delivery 15km away! Malessa at Tank Shop rang and emailed them each day of the second week, along with my emails to them to speed up delivery. Tank Shop offered a replacement item, sent by another transport company the day before the item arrived. Really? For the few dollars profit on my sale, Tank Shop’s customer service is like nothing I’ve experienced. Absolutely brilliant!! 12/10
Top equipment. Easy to buy and fast delivery. We keep coming back.
As I am in country NSW it was so easy to contact them, get the items I needed and the quick delivery.
I purchased a 5000l tank from the website. I had a follow up phone call that same day. Very happy with price and service received.
The Tank Shop was FANTASTIC to deal with!!!! I was VERY concerned about purchasing a tank online, so I called the number numerous times and asked 1000 questions, and the gentleman I spoke to was ALWAYS sooooo lovely and understanding of my concerns. Anyway we went with it and had our tank delivered PERFECTLY on time, with ALL the attachments we needed to make it all come together beautifully - SOOOOOO happy. I recommend you to EVERYONE! THANKS SOOOOO MUCH! WHAT CHEAP and FANTASTIC tanks!!!!
