Custom-Made Steel Wire Rope Nets

Wire rope nets are characterized by high load capacity. The nets made of steel cables offer excellent protection against extreme weather conditions. So the expression "having nerves of steel" is no coincidence, because these nets withstand great forces and convince in terms of durability in everyday use. Further advantages of our rope nets are:

• flexibility
• aesthetics
• high quality
• customisability

The fields of application of the nets include, in particular, fall protection and the protection of architectural monuments. You will therefore find wire rope nets above all:

• in building construction,
• in parking garages,
• at sports facilities,
• in zoos,
• as a plant climbing aid,
• as a railing filler.

Whether as a business customer or privately in your own home and garden - use the nets to separate individual areas from each other, prevent unauthorized access or secure impassable terrain.

We provide you with high-quality nets that you can configure individually with regard to their rope strength, mesh size, length and intended use. With our filter and sorting options you can choose the right wire net for your project.

Steel Or Stainless Steel: Which Material For Your Net?

Steel cable nets or stainless steel nets? The choice of material for the net depends entirely on the intended use. The following principle applies here: If the wire net is to be visible or if it is located in areas subject to weather conditions (e.g. salty sea air), choose stainless steel. Such a net is characterized by its good stability and, as a design element, can also provide visual highlights in the space used. An advantage of wire rope nets is their rope curvature, which leads to their high flexibility. A shiny silver stainless steel net can thus achieve an aesthetic effect in addition to its function.

Wire Rope Nets: Choosing The Right Rope Strength

The selection of the right rope strength and the displacement resistance of our cross clamps depends on the area of application of the wire rope net. The central question here is: How strong should your net be? While the lowest rope strengths are sufficient for a scaffold for plants, the rope strength becomes more and more important the more it serves as a safeguard.

As a general rule, if you want to build a protective barrier with your steel cable nets, the load capacity of the nets does not depend solely on their rope strength. The load-bearing capacity table of the German Social Accident Insurance (DGUV) assumes symmetrical loading of ropes when specifying the rope strength. To ensure that the forces remain controllable, it is also important to avoid a sling angle exceeding 60°.

Especially rope nets for vertical protection should therefore be checked regularly for stability. Maintenance is particularly necessary when a load case has occurred. Maximum tensile strength as well as the displacement strength of the clamps are specified in kilonewtons. The higher the specified kilonewton unit, the more resilient the nets are. For example, our nets with a rope thickness of eight millimeters have a minimum breaking strength of 44.7 kN.

The Correct Mesh Size Of Your Wire Rope Net

The mesh size is also essential for efficient use. If you want to use your rope net as predator or bird protection, a small meshed net is a good choice. This way, animals can neither enter the separated area from the outside nor escape from the enclosure. Also, keep in mind to choose the width of the meshes so that animals do not get caught in the steel cable netting and injure themselves. A fine mesh wire net can also be useful for vertical protection. Here it depends on the size of the objects you want to catch.

Calculate The Correct Dimensions Of The Wire Rope Nets

Do you know the optimal dimensions of your wire mesh? A measurement is a good start - but for the choice of the size you have to consider other things!

First of all, the following is important for calculating the dimensions: The width of the stainless steel or steel cable net is measured from the inner edge of the outermost loop to the inner edge of the loop at the opposite end. When installing the safety nets, there should only be a slight tension on the net. This will cushion living beings or objects in the best possible way in the event of an impact.
