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.
- Individual shapes and designs: Flexible design options with free-form shapes, mesh sizes according to EN 1176, various node 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.
This is how we implement your WalkNet
1. Consultation and planning
Based on your ideas and requirements, we develop the ideal net design. Whether free-form structures, play and adventure areas, or architectural highlights – we will find the right solution.
2. Engineering and statics
We advise you on node design, mesh geometry, edge connections, and fastening. We also develop the design, calculate the net, and determine the load-bearing capacity.
3. Manufacturing and installation
Afterwards, we manufacture your WalkNet in the desired configuration. Our installation teams then professionally install your WalkNet.
4. Documentation and maintenance
We provide detailed documentation for self-maintenance, as well as services for technical safety inspections, re-tensioning, repairs, and new integrations.
