FAQ

How do I choose a material?

HDPE resists weather and seawater and drains well, which makes it the first choice for long-term outdoor and marine use. Polyester (Tetoron) is strong with low elongation, so it is usual for permanent fall-arrest netting. Nylon is tough and absorbs energy well. Outdoors we normally recommend HDPE, and consider the alternatives where strength or indoor conditions call for them.

How is mesh size decided?

By application. Bird netting follows the size of the target species: small birds (sparrow, bulbul) 1.5×1.5 – 2×2 cm; medium birds (myna, drongo, dove) 3×3 – 4×4 cm; large birds (pigeon, night heron) 4×4 – 7×7 cm. Safety netting follows CNS requirements — 10 cm or less on any side, with cover netting at 2 cm or less. Sports netting is designed around the sport and the impact levels involved.

Does the safety netting meet national standards?

Yes. Safety netting can be produced to the Taiwanese national standards CNS 16079 and CNS 14252; the netting cord, including knots, has a tensile strength of at least 132.7 kgf. Our flame-retardant fall-arrest netting is certified to CNS 10285 L3196-1995 A-4 Class 1 with a Limiting Oxygen Index of 32% or above, and test reports are available.

Why choose halogen-free flame-retardant netting?

Halogenated retardants release strongly corrosive gases such as hydrogen chloride and hydrogen bromide when burning, and may generate carcinogens. They also embrittle under UV, with tensile strength falling to as little as 21% of the original. Our flame-retardant netting uses a halogen-free phosphorus–nitrogen system that chars to suppress fire; third-party testing shows 50% lower smoke release and no toxic gas generation.

How far can it be customised?

Mesh, twine diameter, material, colour, construction (knotted or knotless) and overall dimensions are all made to order. For unusual sites — pole wrapping, hangars, road protection — we design the net and its fixing around the structure on site. Send photographs and dimensions and we will assess the options with you.

What do you need in order to quote?

The more complete the information, the more accurate the quote: the site and its use, the dimensions (length × width or area), the mesh and material you have in mind, the installation method and supporting structure, the service life you need, and any standard that must be met (CNS, flame-retardancy grade). Leave anything you are unsure about blank and we will follow up.

What are your lead times and minimum order?

Both depend on the specification, the quantity and current production loading. Because most products are made to order there is no standard off-the-shelf lead time — send us the requirement and we will come back with firm timing and terms.

Any advice on installation?

Measure the area and confirm the supporting structure first; two to three metres between posts is a good rule of thumb. Fix the top edge and tension downwards, keeping the net flat and free of wrinkles — but do not over-tension, which risks damaging the net or the structure. Fix the sides and the bottom edge so nothing can get in around the perimeter.

Does it need maintenance?

Inspect periodically for slack or damage and repair promptly — it extends service life considerably. For long-term outdoor use, UV resistance is what governs how long the netting lasts, which is why we recommend HDPE or a high-UV formulation outdoors.

Does bird netting harm birds?

No. Bird netting is a non-lethal measure: it prevents birds entering or perching in a defined area so that they move elsewhere, rather than catching or injuring them. Taiwan's Wildlife Conservation Act strictly prohibits capturing or killing wild birds, so mist nets are not a lawful option.

The above is general guidance. Actual specification, performance and service life still depend on site conditions, installation and the operating environment — we are happy to assess your case.
