Working at height needs proper fall protection. Safety nets are one option where the site, access, and task suit a net system. They help reduce fall distance, absorb fall energy, and keep the work area below free from obstructions so other work can continue.

check availabilityFall protection is the overall approach to controlling height risk. Fall arrest catches or stops a fall after it happens. Safety nets are a fall arrest system when installed with enough clear space below for deflection.
Builders often use the terms fall nets and safety nets for the same kind of construction netting. The important part is that the system is suitable for the job and installed correctly.
Safety nets should be planned and installed before workers need to operate at height above the protected area. Send plans and timing early so clearance, access, anchoring, and handover can be sorted before the next stage of work.
Timing depends on site access, job size, location, weather, and current bookings. Residential installs can take up to 4 hours to complete. The goal is to respond clearly and schedule the work so the site keeps moving.
Pricing depends on the netted area, hire duration, access, and site details. The homepage estimator gives a starting point, with the final quote confirmed after reviewing the job.
Send the project location, approximate area, expected hire duration, build type, timing, access details, and any plans or photos that show the work area.
Yes. the net guy installs safety nets for residential and commercial construction projects. Safety comes first: if it is not safe, it does not get installed. No shortcuts, no exceptions.
the net guy is based in Palmerston North, servicing Manawatū and Wellington, with other lower North Island work considered depending on timing, travel, and site details.
Yes. Installations are planned, inspected, and documented with a WorkSafe compliant approach, then backed by FASET-certified installation knowledge. The right setup still depends on the site, the work being done, and whether safety nets are suitable for that risk.
The site references BS EN 1263-1 and BS EN 1263-2 for safety net systems, along with FASET-certified installation knowledge, visual inspections, and handover documentation.
Yes, safety nets can be hired for multiple weeks when the project needs them. Hire duration is part of the quote and should match the build schedule.
Weather can affect construction timing and site access. the net guy cares about your project timeline, communicates clearly, and works around your schedule to make things happen when you need them.
Service will be available from August 2026. Send the project location, timing, and basic site details through early if you want to check availability.
