Safenet Safety Net Fan
Safenet is a safety net fan bracket system installed two or three levels below the working floor to safely catch people and materials falling from above. It protects both those working on the upper floor and those below. The system consists of a main safety net stretched between steel support sections projecting from the facade, with a fine-mesh debris net laid over it.
The safety net complies with EN 1263 (TS EN). The brackets have a standard outreach of 4 m from the facade and come in standard widths of 300, 400 and 600 cm; other outreaches and widths can be designed for the project. The system is assembled on the ground and lifted by crane to the floor where it will be used; brackets are mounted with an overlap of at least 75 cm to form a continuous line of protection.

Assembly
- Fit the tension arms to the main post section.
- Thread the safety net onto the horizontal tubes.
- Secure the safety net to the system with karabiner connectors.
- Fix the horizontal tubes to the main post and tension arms with U-plate connectors.
- Tie the debris net over the safety net with plastic cable ties.
- Lift the Safenet, assembled on the ground, to the required floor by crane.
- Fix the system to the slab with Multi-Monti screws; after all connections are checked, open it out and put it into use.
Why Safenet?
Two-Layer Protection
The 100×100 mm safety net catches people; the 20×20 mm net on top catches small materials.
EN 1263 Compliant
The safety net complies with EN 1263, the standard for construction safety nets.
4 m Outreach
Projects 4 m out from the facade, creating a wide catch area.
Fast Crane Installation
The system is prepared on the ground and lifted to the floor by crane in one piece.
Continuous Line
Brackets overlapping by at least 75 cm give gap-free protection around the building.
Three Widths
300, 400 and 600 cm widths adapt to different facade dimensions.
Applications
- High-rise residential and office buildings
- Slab edges during shell construction
- Formwork and scaffold striking works
- Facades overlooking footpaths or neighbouring plots
- Facade cladding and window installation
Correct Installation
- Install the system two or three levels below the working floor.
- Mount the brackets with an overlap of at least 75 cm.
- Fix the net with karabiners and the horizontal tubes with U-plate connectors.
- Do not use the system until it is fixed to the slab with Multi-Monti screws.
- As construction rises, move the system to upper floors by crane.
Inspection Instructions
- Inspect the system immediately after erection.
- Carry out regular inspections at set intervals during use.
- Re-inspect whenever any change or addition is made to the system.
- Carry out a detailed inspection after earthquakes, strong winds and similar events.
- Regularly clear materials and debris collected in the net.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is a safety net fan?
A safety net fan is a protection system of a net stretched between steel arms projecting from the building facade, catching people and materials falling from above.
Which standard does it comply with?
The safety net used in Safenet complies with EN 1263 (TS EN).
How many floors below is it installed?
Safenet is installed two or three levels below the working floor; as construction rises, it is moved to upper floors by crane.
How far does it project from the facade?
The brackets have a standard outreach of 4.00 m from the facade; standard widths are 300, 400 and 600 cm. Other sizes can be designed for the project.
Does it also catch small materials?
Yes. A 20 × 20 mm mesh debris net is laid over the 100 × 100 mm mesh safety net, so small parts are also caught.
