Safety net thickness FAQs
What does safety net thickness in mm actually mean?
It is the diameter of the twine the net is made from — 1mm is thread-fine, 5mm feels like rope. Thickness decides strength; mesh size (the gap between knots) decides what the net can stop. Both matter, and any honest supplier will quote you both.
What is the price of safety nets per kg?
1mm and 1.5mm nets start from ₹455 and go up to ₹750 per kg. From 2mm to 5mm the range is ₹450 to ₹550 per kg. The final rate depends on twine type, mesh size, colour and order quantity, and we confirm it in writing before dispatch.
Which thickness should I use for a balcony?
For pigeon and bird screening, 1mm or 1.5mm is enough. For a child or pet safety net, use 1.5mm or 2mm — it takes weight and pushing without stretching. Anything advertised as fall protection for people should be 3mm or above.
Nylon or HDPE — which is better?
Nylon is softer, stronger for its diameter and better where a ball has to be absorbed rather than bounced. HDPE is stiffer, cheaper per kilo and stands up to direct sun very well. For sports we lean nylon; for long-term outdoor screening HDPE is often the smarter buy.
Do you sell net by the kilo or by the square foot?
Both. Bulk buyers, fabricators and industries buy per kg; homeowners usually want a finished installed panel priced per square foot. Tell us which you need and we will quote that way.
Do you supply outside Chennai?
Yes. We supply and install across Tamil Nadu and Andhra Pradesh, and dispatch net by the kilo anywhere in India by transport. Our stock and cutting facility is in Pallikaranai, Chennai.

Safety net supply by thickness in Chennai — what we install, how we price it and when we can come
Dedicated installation teams across Chennai localities and every major city in Tamil Nadu & Andhra Pradesh. In Chennai we work mainly on apartments, independent houses, schools and commercial buildings. The job we are called for most here is balcony safety nets, pigeon nets and bird-proofing. Every quote follows a free site measurement — nothing is estimated over the phone.
Local site conditions we plan for in Chennai
Every fixing uses stainless steel hardware and UV-stabilised netting so the installation survives sun, rain and coastal wind. That decision is made on site, not in the office, because the frame material and working height change the hardware more than the netting itself.
Buildings and openings we cover
- Balconies, windows, French windows and grill-front openings
- Duct shafts, light wells, stilt parking and lift-lobby gaps
- Terraces, parapets, staircase voids and open atriums
- Schools, hostels, factories, warehouses and sports grounds
Chennai neighbourhoods and nearby stretches we reach
All main residential and commercial pockets of Chennai. Dedicated installation teams cover Chennai localities and every major city in Tamil Nadu and Andhra Pradesh.
