Custom-made Steel Wire Net (by the m²)

Custom-made steel wire net with high mechanical load capacity for industry, construction sites and the public sector. Enter the desired dimensions in the appropriate fields above. Net area and price will be calculated and displayed automatically.

Material

The steel cable used has a 7x7 construction. It is twisted from seven strands, which consist of seven stainless steel wires.

The ropes are running in vertical and parallel lines and are fixed at the crossing points using aluminium cross clamps. The clamps are pressed to a permanent connection. The rounded shape of the clamps ensures good haptics and minimizes the risk of injury.

The steel wire mesh is highly resilient and weather-resistant, making it suitable for continuous use. Please note, that the steel wire mesh is a rigid network. In contrast to textile nets the energy consumption is more erratic. Depending on the nature of load on the network, the specified slip resistance of the wire connectors is also relevant beside the breaking force of the ropes.

Dimensions

The net size always means the dimension from the inner edge of the loop to the inner edge of the loop on the opposite side (respectively th emeasure between the attachment points).

Steel wire nets should be installed with a slight tension, which reduces the effectiveness of an impact. It should be noted that the loops can distort under load when they are attached at certain points and can therefore change in length. In this case, the dimension of the netting should be reduced accordingly. Manufacturing tolerances are subject to change depending on the design and type of fastening.

The specified mesh size describes the dimension between the inner edges of the wire ropes. The size of the meshes and especially the edge meshes is adjusted so that they match the size ordered and the type of edge design and can therefore vary slightly.

The maximum production width is 500 cm. We can offer you wider networks on request. However, the length is not limited. The nets can be made up to a weight of 1,000 kg per single net. We recommend separating nets weighing over 300 kilograms into several individual nets.

Edge Design and Stitch Course

The edges of the net are designed as loops as standard. Due to the meandering course of the ropes, the net has a loop on every second stitch. Depending on the number of individual strands, the start and end point of a rope can be pressed to a loop, converted in the direction or executed as a thimble. Depending on the overall size and aspect ratio, the net can consist of one or more individual steel cables.

Please always state your frame dimensions. The dimensions refer to the distance from anchor point to anchor point. In the case of the standard version with loops, the inner edge of the outer loops is the reference point.

Assembly

The loops on every second mesh serve as an attachment point. For example, they can be mounted directly to a substructure with hooks or eyes. Another option is to mount the net with rigid profiles (profiles or pipes made of steel or aluminium). Alternatively, an additional steel cable can be used, which is threaded and tensioned through the edge meshes.

Attention: The wire rope nets must not be pinched or warped during assembly. Pinched or warped nets have a considerably lower strength due to increased shear forces or additional tension in the edge area.

Optional Fasteners

On request, optional fasteners can be assembeld to the rope ends. The fasteners are then pressed or screwed directly to the rope ends of the net.
