What’s roof netting made out of?

Roof netting can be made from a variety of materials, such as nylon, polyethylene, or polypropylene. Be sure to think about the durability, UV resistance, and strength of the material to ensure that it will withstand the environmental conditions in your area.

Can you walk on roof safety mesh?

Yes, you can walk on safety mesh, as these materials are designed to hold a person’s weight. It’s often used as a fall prevention method and can also help you reach other parts of the building not connected to the section you’re currently working on for the project.

Types of roof netting

There are several types of nets you can use for various purposes on roofs.

Roof safety netting

This type of net is temporary and generally used to protect builders currently working on a building. The nets protect the builders from debilitating falls.

Ceiling netting

These nets are ideal for when you want to install a net ceiling. It’s perfect to close off tennis courts, inside courtyards, and other similar spaces.

Guardrail system

You can use more permanent roofing nets as a guardrail system, especially if you have a flat or slightly sloped roof you frequently walk on.

The advantages of high-quality roof netting

High-quality roof netting is often used as a safety measure and is durable and strong thanks to the high grade of materials used. This is especially important if the main role of the netting is to prevent falls of workers which you don’t want to take any risks on. These nets are also made to withstand the weather conditions in New Zealand all year round. High-quality roof netting is also often available in a range of colours so that it doesn’t create a visual eyesore on your property. Suppliers who make these products also tend to offer other high-quality choices that will also be useful like roof underlay.

How to choose roof netting that’s right for you

The product you choose should firstly be influenced by the purpose of the net in the first place. For example, a roof net that is a temporary safety solution will have different qualities to one that requires a permanent installation which will need to be more robust over the long term. The mesh size is also important as this determines the size of debris that can be caught. The weight and thickness of the netting can impact its durability and effectiveness and you’ll also want to consider the building itself and what aesthetic is going to work best with it. Your choice of material is obviously crucial, especially with local weather conditions in mind which include the extremes of wind, rain and UV damage.
