· Netting roll must measure 300 feet in length.

· Netting must be provided as a continuous, uniform roll with no breaks, seams, or defects.

2. Material Composition

· Manufactured from heavy‑duty synthetic material, such as high‑strength polyethylene or equivalent.

· Material must resist tearing, stretching, fraying, and mechanical wear during installation and use.

3. Fire‑Retardant Properties

· Netting must be fire‑retardant, meeting or exceeding recognized fire‑safety performance standards (e.g., NFPA 701 or equivalent).

· Fire‑retardant performance must be durable under typical outdoor exposure conditions.

4. Strength and Durability

· Netting shall exhibit high tensile strength, capable of containing debris in construction, industrial, or environmental applications.

· Must maintain structural integrity under tension and extended outdoor installation.

· Resistant to impact, abrasion, and environmental degradation.

5. Mesh Construction

· Netting must feature a uniform mesh pattern allowing air flow and visibility while effectively containing debris.

· Mesh size must be consistent across the entire roll.

6. Buttonholes for Attachment
