Balcony Safety Nets
The fastest, most economical way to make an open balcony safe. Fitted in hours.
A balcony net is knotted HDPE mesh tensioned across the opening on a stainless steel wire perimeter. It is the most common installation we do, and for most flats it is the sensible first step: it costs a fraction of a grill, it goes in inside a morning, and it removes the fall risk entirely.
The mesh is fine enough to stop a child and strong enough to hold an adult's weight against it, but visually it recedes — from inside the room you look through it, not at it.
HDPE is UV-stabilised, so it does not go brittle in direct sun the way cheap polypropylene netting does. That is the single biggest difference between netting that lasts five years and netting that fails in eighteen months.

Balcony Safety Nets — common questions
Will the net block my view?
Less than people expect. Transparent HDPE at 50mm mesh is barely visible from inside once your eye adjusts, because you focus past it. If the view matters a great deal, an invisible grill is the alternative.
How long does it last?
Five years typical on our standard UV-stabilised HDPE, longer on sheltered elevations. Sun exposure is the limiting factor, not rain.
What material are the nets made from?
Knotted high-density polyethylene, UV stabilised. HDPE is chemically inert, waterproof and does not degrade in sunlight the way untreated polypropylene does. Nets are tensioned on a stainless steel wire frame using screw pins, turnbuckles and hogging staples, so the installation stays tight rather than sagging after the first season.
How much does it cost?
Pricing starts from a base rate per square foot and varies by product — invisible grills cost several times more than netting.

How long will the installation last?
Five years is typical for HDPE netting in direct sun, longer on sheltered elevations. Invisible grills last considerably longer — the stainless cable is the limiting component and it does not corrode. Sun exposure is what ages netting, not rain.
Can a bird cut through the net with its beak?
No. HDPE at the gauge we use cannot be cut by a pigeon or crow. The failure mode for bird netting is never the mesh — it is a gap left at the perimeter, which is why edge sealing is the part of the job that actually matters.
