High Performance Netting
The primary net material used in this system is called the High Performance Netting. It is a high tensile strength mesh suitable for low energy dynamic impacts which helps limit the elongation of the system. The small mesh opening is also ideal for sites with high frequency events of small debris. It is the same mesh used for slope retention systems.
