What Determines the Price of a Safety Net?

A safety net price depends mainly on six things: the class and material, the net size and finishing, the ropes and accessories, the quantity, the documents required and the delivery. Knowing these helps you compare quotes on a like-for-like basis.

1. Class and material

A class B net must absorb almost twice the energy of a class A net, which usually means more or stronger twine. Polyamide costs more than polypropylene but offers higher elasticity. UV stabilisation adds cost but decides how long the net lasts outdoors.

2. Net size and finishing

Standard panels are produced efficiently. Custom sizes, irregular shapes and cut-outs need more cutting and finishing work. Every metre of border rope and every finished edge adds to the price, so small nets cost more per square metre than large ones.

3. Ropes and accessories

Tie ropes, coupling ropes, debris liners, hooks and labels are often quoted separately. Check whether your quote includes what you need on site.

4. Quantity

Larger orders reduce set-up and handling costs per net. For distributors and rental fleets, repeat orders of a fixed specification are the most economical.

5. Documents and testing

Labelled nets with test meshes, a technical data sheet and a declaration of conformity cost more to produce than unlabelled netting, and they are what EN 1263-1 requires.

6. Delivery

Packaging, palletising and freight depend on volume and destination. Ask for the delivery terms with the quote.

Frequently asked questions

Why are some safety nets much cheaper?

Lower prices can mean a lower class, thinner twine, less UV stabilisation, no test meshes or no documentation. Compare the label designation, the material and the documents, not just the price per m².

Is the price per net or per square metre?

Both are used. Standard panels are usually priced per net; custom sizes and large quantities per square metre.

Do you offer prices for distributors?

Yes. Distributors and rental companies receive volume pricing and can order under their own brand.
