Dutch term

mandragend

Dutch to English Tech/Engineering Construction / Civil Engineering Construction
Aan de buitenzijde van het element een *mandragende*
luchtdoorlatende folie

It's building specifications again, and this is a foil to protect external elements of the building while construction work is going on. So what 'mandragend' means here I have no idea. I can't imagine it needs to bear the weight of a man.

industrial grade sheeting

If industrial grade stuff can't bear the weight of a man, then nothing will.

unfortunately

it seems to be quite that.
However I did not find an English equivalent.
Greetings,

\"man-equivalent-weight bearing\" does not produce any Google hits; but it\'s the best I can think of at the moment.

by the way, there is another meaning of \'mandragend\', for which there is in fact an English equivalent: \'man carrying\', of cars and airplanes and things like that. But in your context it\'s the other meaning, of course.

agree Yngve Roennike : _support_ the weight of a man.
