Jakob safety and play nets
Jakob’s textile nets: EN 1263-1 fall-arrest nets, knotless safety and protection nets, and walk-on play nets, in many colours.
Jakob referenceOverviewWhat it is
Jakob makes a family of textile nets. The fall-arrest net to EN 1263-1 type S catches people below working areas. Knotless polypropylene and polyester nets protect edges, voids, stairs and sports areas. WalkNet is a walk-on and climbing net for play areas, atriums and rope parks.
Polypropylene is the outdoor choice: it doesn’t absorb water and resists weather. Every net is made to size, with border ropes and fixings.
