The Unique Properties of Cable Netting
Cable netting consists of interlocking stainless steel cables that form a strong, flexible fabric. The high tensile strength of the material, along with its resistance to corrosion, lets it thrive in challenging environments while keeping its structural integrity. Different styles of cable netting – knotted, ferrule type, and square – provide varying levels of flexibility. This variety makes it easy to find the right solution for any project.

Applications of Cable Netting
a) Fall Protection
Cable netting is commonly used as a safety measure in the construction of bridges, stairs, and paths. Its high strength and impact resistance minimize the risk of fall accidents, providing a secure barrier that is both functional and aesthetically pleasing.

b) Architecture
Incorporating cable netting into building facades and green walls encourages the growth of climbing plants, improving air quality and creating a visually striking appearance. This versatile material is often used in parking garages, urban greenways, and other architectural projects.
c) Animal and Bird Enclosures
Cable netting, also called zoo mesh or aviary netting, is ideal for making enclosures. It protects animals and birds while letting them move freely. Its flat, flexible structure prevents injuries from impacts, keeping both animals and caretakers safe.
d) Fences and Safety Nets
From garden fences to stadium barriers, cable netting is a popular choice for various fencing applications. It also functions as a safety net, preventing accidents and even acting as a suicide prevention measure in some instances.
