WalkNet
Walkable net structures made of reinforced fiber ropes create unique possibilities for the design of indoor and outdoor spaces. We implement your project from planning and engineering, production and assembly through to documentation and maintenance.
Whether horizontal or vertical climbing net structures for playgrounds, elegant nets as architectural highlights, or functional walking surfaces for indoor and outdoor areas – WalkNet can be created in many geometries and for different contexts.
- Walkable rope nets with high load capacity: Made of high-strength polyester with integrated steel reinforcement – load capacity up to 32 kN rope breaking force.
- Individual shapes and designs: Flexible planning with free forms, mesh sizes from 100 mm, various knot types, and edge connections.
- Wide range of colors: A palette of subtle, natural to bold colors that blend harmoniously into any environment or add deliberate accents.
- Safety approved according to EN 1176: Our net structures meet applicable safety requirements in accordance with EN 1176 and offer tested quality for use in public and private areas.
- Full service from a single source: From the initial idea through planning, engineering, and installation to maintenance.

How WalkNet works
1. Consultation and planning
We develop the ideal net concept based on your requirements. Whether free-form structures, play and adventure areas, or architectural highlights – we will find the right solution.
2. Engineering and statics
You select the node design, edge connections, and the optimal mesh geometry. Our Jakob Engineering measures and develops the load-bearing capacity and form-finding.
3. Manufacturing and installation
We manufacture your WalkNet in the desired configuration. Our installation teams then professionally install your WalkNet.
4. Documentation and maintenance
We provide comprehensive documentation for self-maintenance, as well as services for technical safety inspections, re-tensioning, repairs, and new integrations.
The specifications of our WalkNet allow for the combination of various technical details. Create solutions in virtually unlimited shapes, sizes, and structural contexts.
