Safety nets in construction for a safe and protective environment.
Any ongoing construction is required to have a construction net to be able to properly carry out the activities. It prevents accidental falls of people or objects from the site.
A construction net is a flexible plastic net made from High-density polyethylene (HDPE) raw materials. Wrapping the whole construction site from bottom to top is the best construction practice.
It’s designed to absorb the energy of a fall to reduce the likelihood of someone getting injured.
The net is fit to have enough clear space below to ensure that the net deflects so that the person who has fallen does not hit the ground.
TYPES OF CONSTRUCTION NETS
We have two types of construction safety nets i.e. Orange HDPE construction nets and Scaffolding nets

Green nets for construction
This type of construction net wraps a building and protects pedestrians from falling objects and workers. They are made from durable, heavy-duty, plastic netting.
The netting is made from materials such as polyester, high-density polyethylene, polypropene, and PVC-coated polyester. It’s usually green in color.
They are easy to install and have reinforced borders with brass grommets and are flexible even in tough temperatures.
This net is used for vision and privacy barriers, wind protection, cargo containment, and sandblast curtains.
