Frequently Asked Questions

  • What is the Michael net and how can it be used?
    The Michael protective net is used to protect children from falling from falling from terrace, balcony or through an open window, down the stairs or from a gallery. The net also gives those who are afraid of heights a sense of security. In addition, it protects pets from falling while keeping pigeons and other birds away. It also keeps children from throwing toys and other objects through an open window or from the terrace.
  • What is the life expectancy of Michael nets?
    The life expectancy of the net is at least 4-5 years. They are tested in extreme conditions (maximum pressure on the net) so, in reality, the net may last much longer before the signs of wear and tear appear.
  • Does my building site need safet nets?
    Yes! Providing a safe working environment is not just a good idea, it’s the law! There is a reasonably good understanding amongst many people in building and construction that if the distance of possible fall is greater than 3 metres then steps must be taken to prevent any fall from occurring.
  • How do safety nets work?
    A safety net is a net to protect people from injury after falling from heights by limiting the distance they fall, and deflecting to dissipate the impact energy. The term also refers to devices for arresting falling or flying objects for the safety of people beyond or below the net. A installer will come to your site, attach the nets to the insides of the top plates of your structure, just beneath where people are working, thus creating a safe “catching net” if someone was to fall the trusses or forming the roof itself.
