Choosing Heavy Duty Debris Netting for Construction

Heavy-duty debris netting is used to keep small and chunky debris from falling on workers, pedestrians, equipment, vehicles, or properties during construction.

Whether you&#;re constructing a high rise, demolishing a house, or working on a marine rig, falling objects of any size can cause serious damage to people on or near your site.

Even if there are no people in harm&#;s way, not having the right protection in place can still cause damage to tools and the nearby area which can lead to serious delays, damages, and expenses. Damage to buildings and tools can be easily avoided with netting, which is typically one of the most cost-effective and feasible methods to keep people and tools safe during construction.

There are plenty of fall protection options out there. Projects vary, so it can be helpful to consult with a safety netting expert before beginning a project. However, high-density debris netting like the Eagle Industries heavy duty debris netting is a particularly effective choice.

Here are a few specific factors to consider when choosing debris netting for construction:

Material type

Many heavy-duty netting systems can be reused if they are well maintained, installed properly, and inspected before each use, so choosing stronger materials can reduce costs in the long-term, even if they are initially more expensive.

UV-resistant, flame retardant, and abrasion-resistant materials can all extend the life of netting, as well as make it more effective for even the heaviest falling debris.

Eagle Industries heavy duty netting, for example, is constructed from heavy-duty, UV-resistant polypropylene, which has a very high strength per foot rating and is also flame and abrasion-resistant.

Containment and protection

The durability of the material is also affected by the netting&#;s construction type: netting can come in square or diagonal construction.

The best nets can contain small debris as well as protect workers from falls. Two-layer mesh is more effective for this, as net liners provide an additional layer of security and protection.

Installation hardware and edge protection is also an important factor to consider, since even getting the most durable mesh on the market won&#;t help you if you can&#;t attach it securely.

All debris containment debris nets should be attached to an approved cable system or used with an effective debris net outrigger system.

Testing Standards and Compliance

Safety is regulated by industry standards and jobsite protection regulations such as OSHA. Construction debris netting must meet or exceed these standards to offer an acceptable level of protection for workers and equipment.

The Best Heavy-Duty Debris Netting

The Pro Group offers a wide range of safety equipment and supplies, including a variety of jobsite safety netting.

For debris netting for construction, we carry a full line of Eagle Industries heavy-duty debris nets. Eagle Heavy Debris Containment Nets are made from high tenacity 2.5&#; knotless polypropylene and go through rigorous testing to ensure they meet construction industry standards.

Eagle Industries debris nets also include debris net liners for greater containment, available in 3/8&#; polyester netting or 1/16&#; debris netting.

Eagle Industries nets offer a range of benefits, including:

• Easy and secure installation
• Fire/flame retardant

How To Select The Right Type Of Protective Guard Netting For A Specific Application

Protective guard netting (also called &#;overhead guarding&#; and &#;safety netting&#;) improves the safety of personnel and pedestrians in distribution centers, warehouses, and manufacturing facilities by preventing items from falling from heights. When properly installed, the netting retains products, totes, cases, boxes or pallets from falling off the back or sides of industrial steel storage rack; through the openings in guardrails positioned around the perimeter of mezzanines, elevated work platforms, pick modules or stairs; or from any conveyor. It can also be used to protect personnel from coming in to contact with mechanical or automated equipment while still providing visibility to the system&#;s operation.

There are a variety of protective guard netting options. These include different construction materials (nylon, polyester, polypropylene, or polyethylene); thicknesses; tensile strengths; opening sizes; load ratings; and more. To help facility owners choose the right solution for their unique application, it&#;s important to work with a qualified supplier. They will specify the most appropriate netting for an application based on the answers to the following questions:

1. With what equipment will the protective guard netting be used? Knowing the intended use of the netting will help to determine the most appropriate type, material, thickness and opening size. It will also aid in the selection of the type of fastener to be used, such as connectors provided by the supplier, industrial zip ties, snap-hooks, carabiners, or a cable system to accommodate for pallet offset.
2. What are the dimensions of the area where protective guard netting is required? The available space in the area requiring protection will impact the design and construction of the overall solution. Netting made of woven nylon or polyester materials will have a bound edge to increase the overall strength of the net and provide a point of attachment. Therefore, it is most often supplied in a custom size to meet the unique application&#;s dimensions. Extruded polypropylene or polyethylene netting can be delivered in pre-cut dimensions or as a continuous roll of material that is trimmed on-site to match the required size during installation.
3. What are the characteristics or types of items with which the protective guard netting might come into contact? Minimum and maximum weight, dimensions, materials, and shapes are all factors in determining the most appropriate netting material and installation solution. Additionally, it is important to share details about items that are sharp, abrasive, irregularly shaped, or contain hazardous materials. Certain types of netting can be more easily &#;patched&#; if they are torn or cut; others are more difficult to repair if compromised.
4. In what type of environment will the protective guard netting be installed? Different types of netting material may be more ideally suited for indoor, outdoor and clean room environments, as well as in temperature conditions including ambient, cold storage, freezers, or extreme heat. Temperature and other environmental factors can affect the energy absorption and tensile strength properties of different netting materials.
